InPacific Drive, the core gameplay elements are surviving in the car and scrapping parts that are useful for it. Your car is your only means of transportation, keeping you alive from unexplainable anomalies of the world. Your hours-long run will go to waste if your car dies.
Upgrading the car is the best way to keep going on the long runs in the open and return with some of the best parts. However, without fuel, you can only go so far. There are multiple methods to find fuel in the game and refuel your car, and this guide breaks down the complete process.
How To Refuel Your Car
You must find the fuel canister to refuel the carin the game. It will not take long asyour car comes with a fuel canister found at the top left sideof the trunk.
Afterputting the car into “P” instead of “D” on the transmission, get out of your car andgo to the backside. In the early game, your car does not have a rear hatch, so spotting the fuel canister is easy.Grab the fuel canisterand go to thenext abandoned car’s fuel filler cap. Remove it andsiphon the fuelfrom it.
Afull fuel canister is more than enough to keep you going on long runs in the game. Return to your car’s fuel filler capand unload all the siphoned fuel onto it. This will instantly top up your car, freeing you to roam the world.
Always keep an eye on the abandoned cars on the road. If you see one, take out the fuel canister from the car’s back and keep it topped up.
How To Get More Gas For Your Car
There are three ways to get fuelin the game. You canalso upgrade your car to store more fuelin its tank. This will ensure you can go on long runs, scrap all the valuables, and return to the garage safely.
The Side Fuel Tankis an early-game upgrade for your car that gives it a bigger tank than the stock one. After collecting the required parts, visit the Fabrication Station and install this upgrade on the car.
Unlock The Fuel Synthesizer
While most methods of getting more fuel in the game require active action, installing the Fuel Synthesizer makes the fuel acquisition process passive. This is a mid- to late-game blueprint upgrade for the car that requires looting very rare resources.
Fuel Synthesizer absorbs substances from the environment and converts them into fuel. The device can only be installed outside your car; the area above the rear tire is ideal for placing it. You still need to siphon the fuel from the device into a fuel canister and then top up your car. This part is not autonomous.
Visit Gas Stations
The game’s torn world removes matter at will, and there are hardly any useful things you can utilize in their full form.Gas stations are a rare sight, but you are likely to find one when you are out there running for resources.
Thegas stations are by far the best fuel sourcein the game, asyou can top up the full tankof your car quickly. Just keep your eyes peeled and look forbroken red neon signs that spell “Gas” or parts of it.
Find Fuel Barrels
While you travel by car most of the time in the game, sometimes you must get out of your car and check important places. When youroam the open world on foot,especially the grassy or murky partsthat are a little away from the roads, there arechances you’re able to find fuel barrels.
Afull tank from Oppy’s Auto Shopis enough tolast you a complete run,especially in the early game. However, when transitioning into the mid- and late-game, you must explore more and find some rare parts. This is whereyou will see the real value of finding fuel barrels. This is another excellent source to top up your car in the game and explore more routes and uncharted portals.
Always carry the fuel canister in your inventory. You never know when you will find a fuel barrel to siphon the most useful resource out of it: the fuel.
Siphoning Fuel From Cars
The empty world in the game is full ofabandoned, rusted carsthat are good forscrapping parts and collecting fuel. Whenever a car’s tank falls to 50 percent, you should find rusted cars and siphon fuel from them.
Oppy’s Auto Shop
TheOppy’s Auto Shop is the main base to repair your carandinstall more important gadgets. This place teaches you how to deal with the world of anomalies around you. However, thebest part of Oppy’s Auto Shop is the availability of the fuel pump.
Every time you return from an exhausting trip to complete a mission or a supply run for rare parts, you may top up your car’s tank at Oppy’s Auto Shop.
You shouldnever leave for a trip without filling up your car at Oppy’s Auto Shop. This place is harmless and gives you easy access to fuel.
