What You'll Learn
Gas Stations
To refuel at a Gas Station, players must first park their car near one of the fuel pumps. They then need to exit the car and interact with the pump, which will cause their avatar to take hold of the pump. The player can then direct the pump towards the car and use it as they would a weapon, pressing the "Pump" or "Fire" button, and the meter should begin filling. Once the gas tank is full, the player can return the pump to the stand and drive off.
While at a Gas Station, players should keep an eye out for other players as these stations are a common place to refuel, and therefore a good spot to stage an ambush. If a player needs to make a quick getaway, they can press "Interact" to make their character hop back into the car.
In addition to refuelling their car, players can also fill up Gas Cans at the pumps to prepare a backup. These cans can be found across the map, especially near gas stations or areas containing cars.

Gas Cans
To refuel a car using a Gas Can, players can approach the vehicle and press the corresponding button to add fuel to its tank. Alternatively, they can throw the Gas Can and shoot it to create an explosion. However, it's important to maintain a safe distance from the explosion, as it can be harmful to the player's health.
In addition to using Gas Cans, players can also refuel their cars at gas stations located across the Fortnite map. These stations are a great way to fill up a car's tank quickly and efficiently, but players should be cautious of potential ambushes by other players.

How to find Gas Cans
Gas Cans are used primarily to refuel vehicles in Fortnite. They can be found scattered across the map, especially near gas stations, bus stops, or areas with vehicles present. They can also be found as floor loot or in chests. These cans are carryable items that take up a slot in the player's inventory and can be refilled at gas stations.
Gas Cans can be used to refuel a car to get it moving again, although they are not as effective as a proper pump. When refuelling a car with a Gas Can, approach the vehicle and press the corresponding button that appears on the screen. The Gas Can can also be refuelled by holding it while interacting with a pump at a gas station. Each Gas Can contains 100 allotments of fuel and can be used on any vehicle.
Gas Cans can also be used as an improvised explosive device. Attacking the can with any weapon will cause it to ignite and explode, dealing large amounts of damage to nearby players and structures. They can also be shot out of a player's hand, causing them to drop it before it explodes.
In addition to Gas Cans, players can refuel their cars at gas stations located across the Fortnite map. These stations are the best place to refuel a car, but they can also be a good spot for an ambush. To refuel at a gas station, pull up next to one of the pumps, exit the car, and interact with the pump to pick up the nozzle. Then, press the "Pump" button and face the vehicle, and the meter should begin filling.

How to use a Gas Station
To use a gas station in Fortnite, you will first need to locate one. There are around a dozen gas stations spread across the Fortnite map, some in remote areas and others in popular loot hunting places. Once you have found a gas station, drive your car up beside one of the gas pumps and exit your vehicle.
Next, you will need to interact with the pump to pick up the nozzle. Then, press the "Pump" button and face the vehicle, and the meter should begin filling. You can also press “interact” while doing this, which will cause your character to hop back into the car, which can be useful if a quick getaway is needed.
Another way to fuel your car is by using a Gas Can. These can be found across the map, especially near gas stations or areas containing cars. Gas Cans can be filled up at the pumps, and can be used to refuel your car on the go. Each Gas Can consumes one slot in your inventory and contains 100 allotments of fuel. Once the Gas Can is empty, you can throw it away.

How to monitor fuel
To monitor fuel in Fortnite, players need to keep an eye on the gas gauge in the bottom right corner of the screen when driving. This will show the fuel level in the vehicle, which can vary when players first enter the car. It could have a small amount of fuel left in the tank, or it could be completely dry.
When you first find a car in Fortnite, it should have a small amount of fuel in its tank, unless another player has driven it to empty. To find out the exact amount of fuel, stand next to the car, and beneath the prompt to drive, you will see the fuel percentage. This could be anything from 18% to 32%, or higher.
Once you are driving, the fuel level will deplete over time, and the car will take damage, so you will need to keep a close eye on the fuel gauge and be prepared to refuel. The good news is that there are two ways to refuel your car in Fortnite.
