Uses
Fuel
It is used to refuel most vehicles, giving them 10% faster speed and better acceleration than with Diesel. All vehicles that use Petrol can also use Diesel.
Unlike Diesel, Petrol cannot fuel Fire Pits or Engine Rooms.

Storage
Like other liquid resources, Petrol does not stack in inventories but can be stored in the stockpile of Liquid Containers and Liquid Transfer Stations. Full canisters can be changed into crates with the right click menu while in the interface of a Storage Depot, Seaport, or Shipping Container (1 canister per crate). A canister's encumbrance depends on how much fuel is left in it.
They can be transported by Fuel Tankers, Liquid Containers, Small Liquid Container Cars, Shipping Containers (in crate form), or Pipelines.
Trivia
- Petrol was introduced in Update 0.26 ('War Machine'), along with the rework of fueling.
- The design of the petrol can appears to be inspired by British 2-Gallon stamped steel fuel can, which also featured a larger 4-Gallon version known as the "Flimsy".
- Prior to Update 1.50 ('Inferno'), Petrol cans used to hold 100L, before being changed to 50L.
- This change was a larger logistical overhaul, which made Petrol easier to obtain, but required more logistical infrastructure in the form of Facilities.
