Question

If one lends a car, there is no issue of interest, but if there was half a tank of fuel and the borrower returns it with a bit more, is this considered interest or not?

Answer

Shalom and blessings

There is a prohibition of interest in this case.

One should set a price for the fuel according to its value at the time of lending.
