DrScandalous Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 In terms of "how-to" and "how long?"...... Do you fill them from old fuel tanks like you would a jerry can? Do you need anything special in order to fill them? Do they take longer to refill than it takes to refill a jerry can? If so, approx. how long? Looking to keep a couple in my SUV while I'm driving around in case I run across a heli/big aircraft and want to fly it somewhere to sell it... since keeping 5-8 full jerry cans is kind of... annoying.

Mercules Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 They fill up like a Jerry Can and refuel vehicles like a Jerry Can they just hold more. They are useful for choppers but won't work on anything that can't hold that much fuel so you might want a few Jerry Cans around as well. BTW, buy the empty ones and fill them up, they are much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it fills in the same amount of time (single refuel/fill animation) as a Jerry can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatthewK Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 You can't fill cars up with them though, I always get a message saying something like "this vehicle can't hold that much" or something. Unless I'm missing a trick :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrScandalous Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yes... but holds 210 liters I believe? Correct. 210 liters. I'm just wondering if (because it's 10x the size) if it takes longer (time-wise) to use than a jerry can. You can't fill cars up with them though, I always get a message saying something like "this vehicle can't hold that much" or something. Unless I'm missing a trick :) Nope. No trick. You gotta have a vehicle with a gas tank that's more than 200L and it's gotta be nearly empty (if it's close to 200L) in order to use it. One full fuel barrel = 1/5 tank of gas on V3S or heli, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr1nk Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Fuel barrel doesn't take any longer to use than the jerry can, just fills in more at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT just made my day... and I'm not sure whether or not I should be embarrassed by that, ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
