How much gas per day? Where's the best place to open a station? Is it better to build one or look for one that's shut down and re-open? How often do you schedule tank refills? What regulations do you have to comply with?

And you'll go broke quite quickly if gas is all you can sell!

The point I was making (poorly, I admit) is that just about everyone who starts a business has to learn how the industry works one way or another. Nothing is ever as simple as it seems. "Producing a useful tool for an industry about which you have no personal experience" really isn't a larger obstacle than most entrepreneurs have to get past.
