LikeWildFire Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hey guys, Has anyone ever noticed that, when you buy a new truck or scout car, the fuel range is pretty bad? Like, the range of the car upon buying has a 1km per litre ratio so I end up having to refuel quite often, but for some reason when I restart the game or whatever, it drastically increases to about 1k 2k or 3k depending on whether it's a truck or car you're driving. I'm not sure if this happens in Single Player too, but it always does on Multiplayer. Let me know your thoughts on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azusakawa* Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 You can disable Realistic Fuel Consumption in the game play options or go game homepage and use mouse to here and show this , your fuel range issue will back to normal Kind Regards, Azusakawa* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Mostly happens with the car for me and not after buying it but changing to it. I just quicksave my game and reload from that and it fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Tomukas- Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 First of all, this is a feature that the SCS team has intentionally made because if you noticed in real life, vehicles that have just come out of the factory will burn a little more fuel than the same model vehicle because as time goes by, the engine recognizes its components and So that it can efficiently use the fuel. This is definitely not any bug or similar feature, just wanted to add realism to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowWolf2k7 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 i have noticed it in SP, however, as @-Tomukas- has said, new trucks and cars burn more fuel then trucks that have been broken in as they say. I have seen it with my T680. when I first got it to full upgrades it was giving me a 3.5 m/g now it is closer to 7 or 8 m/g. and this is with out using realistic fuel as well.

Niklas200215 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I also have never experienced that my trucks have a low fuel range. However, I don't think that it has something to do with TruckersMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arag0n Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Buying truck and personalization what is the information about what fuel tank the truck has. There does not seem to be any game error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Chassis does matter - 4x2 has the largest fuel tank and the others would vary but often comparably halved the capacity. You can see the fuel tank size in between the wheels when you are doing a customisation. If you are doing a realistic fuel consumption, you will burn fuel fast if you keep accelerating (for keyboard) or full throttle (for gaming pedals), especially for those trucks with high HP engine. I think you can make a test with a consistent driving style in one particular road to see what makes you noticing the fuel consumption issues.

ShadowWolf2k7 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 @Neba your statement about the 4x2 is accurate, however the trucks that have an 8x4 chassis have the fuel take directly behind the cab and hold as much fuel as the 4x2 if not a bit more. in ATS the 6x4 long chassis has the highest fuel amount with 300 gallons of fuel. and a note, when I play ETS I use the Scania r 730 which has a fuel take that holds 200 gallons of fuel and I use the 6x4 chassis. same with the Volvo fh 750. I do not use save editing, and I get on average 1k to 1.5k total miles on a full load of fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 @ShadowWolf2k7 Sorry, but no... 8x4 models in ETS2 are the MB new Actross, Scania, Volvo and MAN euro 6. A table with their tank capacities would be as follows. You can see that in every case, the tanks are bigger when the chassis is 4x2. Scania new models have an option to install 6x4 long chassis, which gives more fuel capacity than the standard 6x4, but it's still a 1000 l./264.2 gal. tank, less than the 4x2 one. For all other models, the 6x4 chassis tanks are significantly smaller than the 4x2 ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowWolf2k7 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 @FernandoCR [ESP] its good to know that, however, to me it seems, that even using the 6x4 chassis in ETS I have to fuel up just as often when using the 4x2 as I do using the 6x4. this is with out using real fuel consumption. also not when I did use the 6x4 chassis in my previous post I used 6x4 long chassis referring to ATS, and I have looked at the fuel tank on the 6x4 on the new Scania r, which with the 4x2 it has 2 tanks, one on each side, on the 6x4, the chassis is extended to add the second set of drive wheels, and yes the fuel tanks maybe be a bit smaller however after loading into ETS to verify my Scania with the 6x4 chassis is listed as having 254 gallons of fuel. this may be a bug, may not, but it is the Scania r 730 with the 6x4 chassis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 @ShadowWolf2k7 That's true, the new Scania models brought a new "Long" 6x4 chassis option, not available for the old models. This chassis has 1000 l./264.2 gal. tanks, same as the 8x4. Not a bug, just a different chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowWolf2k7 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 @FernandoCR [ESP] glad we got that cleared up. I do wish it had the stability and fuel tanks that my Kenworth T680 from ATS has, it has 2 150 gallon tanks totalling 300 gallons on its 6x4 long chassis. I know most ETS trucks with the 6x4 chassis have smaller tanks, but it makes it more fun, at least for me, to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
