Fuel card

Okay kiddo, a fuel card is like a magic card that you use to buy gasoline for your car, truck, or other vehicle. It is like a special prepaid credit card that is only used for buying fuel.

When you get a fuel card, you will need to register it with a company that provides fuel, like a gas station or a fuel provider. Then, you will have a special account that you can use to pay for gasoline.

When you go to the gas station, you will put in your fuel card and the pump will allow you to fill up your tank with gas. Then, the cost of the gas will be deducted from your fuel card account.

Parents use fuel cards when they have a big truck or car that needs a lot of gas, like a delivery truck or a company car. It helps them keep track of how much money they are spending on fuel, and makes it easier to pay for gas without using a credit card or cash.

So, fuel cards are like a special card that helps people buy gas for their cars or trucks, and keeps track of how much they spend on fuel.
