Fuel Is a Route Limit

A vehicle that can reach a landmark but cannot return is not ready for the trip. Load fuel according to the complete route, terrain, cargo weight, and time spent recovering from mistakes.

Use It Efficiently

  • Reduce unnecessary engine power on light road vehicles.
  • Keep an emergency reserve outside the vehicle fuel container.
  • Avoid testing unstable prototypes with the entire base supply loaded.
