description: "The free Alternative Fueling Station Locator app helps you find fueling\
  \ stations that offer electricity, natural gas, biodiesel, E85, propane, or hydrogen.\n\
  \nUse your current location or enter a custom location to find the 20 closest stations\
  \ within a 30-mile radius. View the stations on a map or see a list of stations\
  \ ordered by distance from your location. Select your alternative fuel of choice\
  \ and adjust the custom filters to fit your needs.\n\nSelect a station from the\
  \ map or list to view contact info and other details:\n- address, phone number,\
  \ and hours of operation\n- payment types accepted\n- public or private access\n\
  - special services\n- compression (natural gas)\n- vehicle size access (natural\
  \ gas)\n- number and types of chargers (electric)\n- blends available (biodiesel)\n\
  - blender pumps (ethanol)\n\nThe app draws information from the U.S. Department\
  \ of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center, which houses the most comprehensive,\
  \ up-to-date database of alternative fueling stations in the United States. The\
  \ database contains location information for more than 15,000 alternative fueling\
  \ stations throughout the country."
