1. Config Values

{% raw %}

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 %}

Note:

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.
