History
Fuel Pump is the oldest of the major refueling chains, regarded as the last of the old guard alongside its competitors StarCitizen:Cry-Astro and StarCitizen:CTR. The company reinforces its wholesome, family-friendly reputation by sponsoring activities and events, and its name and logo appear on venues ranging from StarCitizen:sataball arenas to racing teams.<ref name="portfolio" />
Although the era of the complimentary spit-shine has passed, standard Fuel Pump stations are still built around traditional full-service refueling and rearming. The company emphasizes a higher class of technician, with individual stations typically staffing at least one professionally trained repair crew leader at all times. Where competitors generally focus on standard maintenance and do-it-yourself options, Fuel Pump continues to offer services ranging from tune-ups to ground-up frame rebuilds.

Fuel Pump is known across the Empire for its annual "Fuel Pump Ship" toy event, in which a different toy spacecraft is issued each August 10th in honor of the chain's founding.
