Fuel Tank Vehicle Module

A big tank across two slots of a car. The name promises extra range, but it is a liquid container, and its real job is moving lots of water at once.

Overview

In-game description
Dual module large fuel tank.

Read the name and you would expect more range. It does not work like that. The car keeps burning low grade fuel from its own small tank, and this module is a large liquid container bolted across two slots of the chassis.

Where it earns those slots is water. A farm base far from any lake, a group running a lot of planters, a spawn in the desert: fill the tank where water is easy and drive it to where it is not. If your base already sits beside a large water catcher or a river, you will never miss it.

It costs frags and wood at a Level 2 bench, nothing more. The real price is space. On a three-slot car the tank leaves one slot, so the front has to be a cockpit with engine; a four-slot chassis still fits a separate engine module.

Most groups never build one. If you do not move water by car, a large flatbed or a passenger module is a better use of the same two slots.
