A refuelling stop is perhaps too vague to address accurately. Is it a small boat, Ocean Liner, Freighter, Aeroplane, Train, bus, or family car? I suppose that could even be included for a horseback ride where you all stop to eat. (including the horse)!
In this instance I will only address commercial airlines. More often than not, the term 'refuelling stop' can be a euphemism for something else, including, but not limited to an actual change of crew or aircraft! It is very rare nowadays for commercial carries to complete refuelling, with passengers on board between the board-point and destination. The only thing that might alter such a decision could be in an environment where the cost of jet fuel is substantially higher at the destination.
In the states there is a number of trans-continental flights that depart say, Los Angeles at night, destined for New York City. But the timetable shows there's a refuelling stop in Philadelphia. This would most likely be a misnomer of sorts. It could be the airline has departed as late as legally permitted (due to noise abatement regulations) and/or arrived on the east coast too early to land in certain airports (due to the same regulations), and therefore must use an alternate landing point. In this instance, most carriers would maximise the landing for cargo purposes and not for passenger services. Overnight sorted mail from the west coast may be offloaded and, first edition newspapers, mail, etc., may all be loaded for the short trip up to New York, thus affording the airline an additional revenue stream.
There is also a rather distasteful habit perpetrated by airlines using a single flight number from one point to another, when in reality, there's an actual change of plane...(possibly shown as refuelling). In almost every instance, a commercial carrier would not load fuel on an aircraft whilst passengers are on board. So that may be a thought to consider. There are numerous websites where you can determine the actual details of commercial flights by providing the flight number and date.
On busses, they may combine refuelling with comfort breaks, where riders may tend to their own needs, get a meal, etc.
Railways sometimes split portions of the train to different destinations. And they may change the engines to a different design. However, it is not customary for railways to reflect such an event as 'refuelling.'

When do you check for gas fumes when refueling a pwc?
You should check for gas fumes when refueling a personal watercraft (PWC) before you start the refueling process, during refueling, and after you finish. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and look for any signs of leaks or strong odors. If you detect gas fumes at any point, stop refueling immediately and address the issue before proceeding. Always follow safety guidelines to prevent fire hazards.
