Notes

• It can be used to power Fuel Generators.
• To be used as Vehicle or Jetpack fuel, it has to be packaged first.

Tips

• Diluted Fuel pairs with the Heavy Oil Residue alternate recipe.
• Using 450 m³/min Crude Oil will result in whole amounts of all machines involved: 15 Heavy Oil Residue Refineries, 10 Water Extractors, 12 Diluted Fuel Blenders and 60 Fuel Generators. 450 m³/min Crude Oil can be obtained from three 250% impure Oil Extractors.
• The Diluted Fuel alternate recipe is 10% more power-efficient than the Diluted Packaged Fuel alternate recipe. To produce 300 m³/min Fuel
  • Three Blenders at 100 m³/min and 75 MW are used, consuming 225 MW
  • Five Refineries at 60 m³/min and 30 MW (consuming 150 MW), five packaging Packagers at 120 m³/min at 10 MW (consuming 50 MW) and five unpackaging Packagers at 60 m³/min at 10 MW (consuming 50 MW), consuming 250 MW.
  • It is, therefore, all-round more power-efficient to use Diluted Fuel.

History

• Patch 0.4.0.0: Energy value increased from 600 MJ to 750 MJ
• Patch 0.3.3.2: New icon for Fuel
• Patch 0.3.1.0: Liquid Fuel color was changed to orange due to popular demand
• Patch 0.3:
  • Now a fluid
  • Loading a save created before Patch 0.3 would convert Fuel items to Packaged Fuel
