A fuel station and a method of refueling a vehicle. The fuel station has at least two adjacent base structures, each base structure being provided with a first fuel dispensing device arranged on the base structure and defining a first refueling position on a first side of the base structure, and a second refueling position on a second side of the base structure, the second side being opposite to the first side. A second fuel dispensing device defines a third refueling position. The fuel station also includes at least one queuing position in front of one of the base structures. The queuing position is linked to the refueling positions.

The fuel station of claim 1, wherein γ is the angle between the first side and the second side;wherein β is the angle between the first side and the third side; andwherein γ and δ are in the range of greater than 0 degrees up to about 45 degrees. 3. The fuel station of claim 2, wherein either γ or δ, or both, are in the range of from about 30 to 35 degrees. 4. The fuel station of claim 1, wherein the first side, the second side and the third side of the at least three sides guide vehicles in a first, a second and a third driving direction respectively, wherein the first, second and third driving directions intersect each other. 5. The fuel station of claim 1, wherein the first fuel dispensing device is arranged on a front end of the respective base structure which is remote from a corresponding queuing position, and wherein the second fuel dispensing device is arranged at an aft end of said respective base structure which is near to said corresponding queuing position. 6. The fuel station of claim 1, comprising at least two adjacent base structures, each base structure being arranged on the ground surface. 7. The fuel station of claim 6, comprising at least one queuing position in front of one of the base structures, wherein each queuing position is linked to the first refueling position and to the third refueling position of said one of the base structures, and to the second refueling position on an adjacent base structure. 8. The fuel station of claim 6, wherein at least the third refueling position of the second base structure is linked to at least two exit routes, including a first exit route via the second refueling position of said second base structure and a second exit route via the first refueling position of an adjacent base structure. 9. The fuel station of claim 6, wherein each base structure is displaced along the direction of the first side with respect to each adjacent base structure. 10. The fuel station of claim 1, comprising at least one guide structure, each guide structure being aligned with one of said base structures and having a guiding edge for determining a respective queuing position for vehicles and for linking said queuing position to one or more of the refueling positions. 11. The fuel station of claim 10, comprising two or more adjacent guide structures, each guide structure comprising a restricting edge for restricting movement of a waiting vehicle, at least one of the queuing positions being defined between the guiding edge of a first guide structure and the restricting edge of a second guide structure. 12. The fuel station of claim 1, wherein the first fuel dispending device or the second fuel dispensing device or both comprise a head, an upright column connecting said head to said base structure, at least one indicator in said head for indicating the amount of fuel dispensed with each respective indicator, each indicator being located on one of two opposite sides on said head, at least one nozzle mounted on said head or on said upright column for dispensing fuel therethrough, and at least one transfer conduit in said upright column for transferring fuel through the base structure to said at least one nozzle. 13. The fuel station of claim 12, each nozzle of the at least one nozzle being coupled to a different transfer conduit, wherein each transfer conduit is coupled to a different fuel storage tank. 14. A method for refueling a vehicle, comprising the steps of: providing a fuel station comprising at least two adjacent base structures, each base structure being arranged on a ground surface,wherein each base structure is provided with a first fuel dispensing device arranged on the respective base structure, the first fuel dispensing device defining a first refueling position on a first side of the base structure and a second refueling position on a second side of the base structure, the second side being opposite to the first side;wherein each base structure is provided with a second fuel dispensing device arranged on the respective base structure and defining a third refueling position;arranging at least one queuing position for the vehicle, each queuing position being defined in front of one of the base structures; andlinking each queuing position to the first refueling position and to the third refueling position of said one of the base structures, and to the second refueling position on an adjacent base structure. 15. The method of claim 14, comprising the step of: guiding the vehicle from said queuing position to one of the first refueling position and the third refueling position of said one of the base structures, and the second refueling position on an adjacent base structure.
