In the US, this would generally mean when an aircraft or ship (but usually not a car or a truck) makes a stop to fill up on fuel. For example:

We made a refueling stop at Tahiti.

I could also be used figuratively for when people make a stop for food or drink. For example:

We made a refueling stop at a convenience store in Tulsa.
