1. Overview

This adds the option to refuel vehicles. The basic concept of refuel a vehicle is similar to reality. You need to interact with the fuel source (i.e. fuel truck, gas pump, ...), the fuel nozzle and the vehicle you want to refuel.

2. Usage

2.1 Start refueling vehicles

  • Interact with the fuel truck ⊞ Win (ACE3 default key bind Interact Key).
  • Select Take fuel nozzle. Your character will holster his weapon and receive a fuel nozzle.
  • Walk to the vehicle you want to refuel and interact with it.
  • Select Connect fuel nozzle.
  • Place the nozzle on the vehicle and interact with it.
  • Select Start fueling. The vehicle is now being refuel.

Refueling takes some time which depends on its fuel tank size, the vehicle type and the module settings.

2.2 Returning the nozzle

  • Interact with the nozzle ⊞ Win (ACE3 default key bind Interact Key).
  • Select Stop fueling if refueling is still under way.
  • Select Take fuel nozzle which is only possible after stopping. Your character will holster his weapon and pick up the fuel nozzle.
  • Walk to the fuel truck and interact with it.
  • Select Return fuel nozzle.
