No More Driving Around Searching for Gas Stations: “PumpRadar” Checks Real-Time Fuel Availability

A developer has launched a platform called “PumpRadar.” It reports real-time fuel station status, showing which stations still have fuel, along with an overview of the nation's energy situation.

On 17 Mar 2026, many people likely faced the problem of driving from station to station trying to find fuel, sometimes causing the remaining limited fuel to run out.

Regarding this issue, a user on X@KillerNayposted a screenshot of a platform named “PumpRadar.” He explained, “Everyone probably knows Flightradar24, which shows where planes are flying. If we have Flight Radar to track planes, today we might have ‘PumpRadar’ to track fuel availability.”

Given the current fuel situation, I developed a platform called PumpRadar — Community Fuel Intelligence, where the public helps report real-time fuel station status.

You can view a map of nearby fuel stations, check which ones still have fuel, report status to inform others, and see the overall energy situation nationwide. All data comes from the actual user community and fuel station points of interest (POI).


We use data from OpenStreetMap, which is open data; some locations may be incomplete or display errors. The system allows users to move the map to a fuel station location and immediately add a new station, helping build a community fuel station database nationwide.

If you find a station out of fuel, please report it to inform others athttp://thaipumpradar.comI hope this small system helps people find fuel more easily and allows stations with fuel to communicate better with users. Small pieces of data from everyone might help a whole city avoid driving around wasting fuel unnecessarily.

I am very willing to exchange data with the government for the benefit of the public.

The developer also updated that after less than 24 hours since launch, the PumpRadar results are:

  • Registered users: 5,118 (via Line Login).
  • Community reports: 489 entries.
  • Reporters: 313 people.
  • Stations in system: 16,342 locations.
  • Coverage: 77 provinces across Thailand.
  • API requests exceeded 1.5 million.
  • Total reports: 452; diesel out: 278 reports (57%), still has fuel: 133 reports (27%), low fuel: 31 reports (6%).
