Where they tank

The hubby and kids took a walk in the rain to the fire station. X described the route they took. And for this neither language is developed enough to express that they took a road which ran parallel to the big road.

To help him describe such a complex thought he tried to use other landmarks.

-You know, the place where they tank.

-You mean the gas station?

-Yeah, the gas station.
