Claim 7:
8. A vehicle system, comprising:
a fuel tank;
a water separator including a water in fuel sensor; and
a controller including executable instructions stored in non-transitory memory that cause the controller to generate a data structure that includes data for a plurality of fuel refilling stations and data for an amount of fuel received from each of the plurality of fuel refilling stations, and instructions to update the data structure with new readings from the water in fuel sensor, and to display a list comprised of one or more fuel refilling stations based on an indication of a content of water in fuel provided by each of the one or more fuel refilling stations, the content of water in fuel provided by each of the one or more fuel refilling stations based on data included in the data structure, the list generated from a randomized binary search tree, the binary search tree based on a key and a priority to organize fuel refilling station data where each refilling station has a designated node in the data structure, and where the list is generated by traversing the nodes of the randomized binary search tree based on a distance between a node and a current location of the vehicle.
