Common mistakes
I need to refuel up my car.I need to refuel my car.
refuel 本身已含“补充燃料”之意，不能像 fill up 那样再加 up；refuel up 是受 fill up / fuel up 影响产生的赘余表达。
He refueled gasoline to his car.He refueled his car with gasoline.
refuel 的宾语应是交通工具（车、飞机、船），不是燃料；燃料要用 with 引出，不能说 refuel gasoline to ...。
I refueled the gas station.I refueled at the gas station.
refuel 表示交通工具补充燃料时可作不及物动词；地点要用介词 at 引导，不能把地点直接当宾语，否则会变成“给加油站加油”。

Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：机场、加油站、港口 refuel 是中性偏正式的常用词，多用于航空、航海、车辆运输等需要补充燃料的场合；在随意的日常口语中，表示“给车加油”时通常会用更口语化的表达。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正与 refuel（/riːˈfjuːəl/）押韵的词有 fuel、renewal（BrE /rɪˈnjuːəl/）、duel（BrE /ˈdjuːəl/），它们都以 /juːəl/ 结尾。cruel、jewel、gruel 虽然拼写相近，但读作 /ˈkruːəl/、/ˈdʒuːəl/、/ˈɡruːəl/，没有 /j/ 音，并不完全押韵。
