## 1. Config Values

{% raw %}
```cpp
class CfgVehicles {
    class MyFuelTruck {
        ace_refuel_fuelCargo = 3000; // Fuel cargo
        ace_refuel_hooks[] = {{0.38,-3.17,-.7},{-0.41,-3.17,-.7}}; // Nozzle hooks positions
    };
    class MyCar {
        ace_refuel_fuelCapacity = 100; // Fuel tank volume
    };
    class MyElectricCar {
        ace_refuel_canReceive = 0; // For vehicles which can't be refueled
    };
};
```
{% endraw %}

<div class="panel callout">
    <h5>Note:</h5>
    <p>ace_refuel_fuelCapacity is only needed if you aren't inheriting from any of BI base classes or if your vehicle has a different fuel tank size.</p>
</div>
