I went by the station in my town listed on the website and found it is a CFN
branded station which appears to be a semi private fuel dispensing operation
open only to those who have an account with CFN. I was not able to
determine any more as the station appeared to be fully automated and
unmanned. Maybe some others know more about CFN fuel operations.
