A light carrier is still fairly large, giving approx. 5-10 crew units as
a
ballpark figure.

Using the "old" MT rules as a guideline and translating over to FB,
yields
1 BF per crew unit. So, assuming your fueling station is military and
expected to be in harms way, that's a fair estimate.

However, I would assume that most stations would have fewer BFs, as they
are not expected to encounter boarding situations very often. Half or
even
a quarter of the starship standard.
