# Refuel Ship

`POST /my/ships/{shipSymbol}/refuel`

Refuel your ship by buying fuel from the local market.

Requires the ship to be docked in a waypoint that has the `Marketplace` trait, and the market must be selling fuel in order to refuel.

Each fuel bought from the market replenishes 100 units in your ship's fuel.

Ships will always be refuel to their frame's maximum fuel capacity when using this action.
