Ensure the car is turned off and the parking brake is on

To fuel your car in City Car Driving, it is important to ensure that the car is turned off and the parking brake is on. This is a crucial step for safety reasons and must be done before attempting to refuel your vehicle.

Firstly, make sure that your car engine is completely turned off. This is a standard safety precaution when refueling a car. Turning off the engine reduces the risk of fire or explosion by eliminating any potential sources of ignition. It is also important because it allows the fuel pump to work properly. A running engine may interfere with the fuel pump's operation, leading to potential issues during refueling.

Next, engage the parking brake. The parking brake, also known as the emergency brake or handbrake, is essential for keeping your car stationary during the refueling process. It provides an extra level of security, ensuring that your car does not accidentally move or roll away while you are filling up the tank. The parking brake is typically located between the two front seats or near the driver's-side door. To engage it, simply pull up on the handle or push down on the button, depending on the type of parking brake your car has.

By turning off the engine and engaging the parking brake, you are creating a safe environment for refueling. These steps are crucial and should never be skipped, as they help prevent accidents and ensure a smooth and controlled refueling process.

Once you have confirmed that the car is turned off and the parking brake is securely engaged, you can proceed with the refueling process. Remember to always follow the recommended safety procedures and guidelines provided by the game to ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience in City Car Driving.

Find the fuel door

If you're playing City Car Driving and are unsure about which side of the car the fuel door is on, there are a few things you can try. Firstly, determine the position of the fuel door before attempting to refuel, as this may impact whether the refuelling works. You can do this by pulling the fuel cap release lever under the driver's seat and then looking in your side mirrors. When you release the outer fuel cap, it should spring outwards, making it visible in one of your side mirrors.

Alternatively, if your car doesn't have a lever, you can try driving up next to a reflective surface, such as a window or another car, and checking if you can see the fuel door. If you can't see it, it's probably on the other side.

In addition, remember that the fuel door is usually on the opposite side of the car as the muffler/exhaust pipe. So, if you can spot that, you should be able to determine which side the fuel door is on.

Finally, when you're at the gas station, make sure you're parked on the correct side of the pump, with the engine off and the parking brake on.

Position the car correctly at the pump

Positioning your car correctly at the pump is a crucial step in the fuelling process. Here are some detailed instructions to ensure you position your car correctly and safely:

Firstly, it is important to drive up to the fuel dispenser from the correct side. This will depend on the side of the fuel filler flap on your car. Ensure you are on the side of the pump that corresponds to the location of your car's fuel filler flap. This is an important step to avoid any difficulties in reaching the filler flap with the fuel nozzle.

Once you have determined the correct side of the pump, it is time to turn off your engine. It is unsafe to pump fuel into your car while the engine is running. Turning off the engine reduces the risk of any potential fire or explosion caused by fuel vapours. At this point, you should also secure your vehicle by engaging the parking brake.

Now, carefully exit the vehicle. As you open the door, be cautious not to produce any static electricity, as fuel vapours are extremely flammable. Place the vehicle in park or first gear if it has a manual transmission. This will prevent any accidental movement of the vehicle while fuelling.

When exiting the vehicle, be mindful of your surroundings. Ensure you are parked on a flat surface, away from traffic and any potential hazards. A garage, empty parking lot, or level driveway are ideal locations for fuelling. If you are at a fuel station, be cautious of any fuel trucks that may be refuelling the underground tanks. It is best to avoid fuelling your vehicle during this time, as the process can stir up dirt and sediment that could end up in your vehicle's fuel system.

Before beginning to fuel, take a moment to locate the fuel cap and determine where to place it while fuelling. Some fuel caps have a plastic ring that allows them to hang from the gas tank during fuelling. If not, find a secure place to set the cap down, ensuring it doesn't roll away. Keeping the fuel cap close at hand will make it easier to replace it once you have finished fuelling.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your car is correctly and safely positioned at the pump, ready for the next steps in the fuelling process.

Use the V key to add gas

To fuel your car in City Car Driving, you must first ensure you have pulled up to a gas station. Next, determine the position of the fuel door, and drive up to the fuel dispenser from the correct side. Once you have positioned your car correctly, turn off the engine and turn on the parking brake. Now you are ready to refuel.

To add gas, stand near the fuel tank and press 'V' on your keyboard. You should see an option to 'add gas' appear on the wheel. If you do not see this option, try another spot on the car. It is not always on the driver's side.

If you are using a steering wheel and your keyboard, and you are still unable to pump gas, try resetting all the in-game controls to default. Then, quit the game and perform the following steps before relaunching the game:

  • Update your wheel/controller driver to the latest version from your controller manufacturer's website.
  • Calibrate your wheel/controller and check if it works correctly in Windows.
  • Connect your wheel/controller to the PC and wait until the very end of its auto-calibration before launching the simulator.
  • Go to Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings and deactivate everything there.
  • Check if your wheel/controller has the ready settings preset in the game controls menu. If it does, select it from the dropdown list. If not, select 'default'.
  • If necessary, assign buttons and axes in the game settings manually. To do this, double-click with the left mouse button on every action in the list and then push the proper button or pedal on your wheel/controller to assign this button or pedal for this action.

Check the gas can is full enough to trigger the fuel car command

To check if your gas can is full enough to trigger the "fuel car" command, first, make sure you have a gas can that is filled with gas. If you are playing City Car Driving in free-driving mode, some cars might not start due to a lack of fuel. There is a gas pump nearby that you can use to refuel.

Once you have a full gas can, position your vehicle correctly at the gas pump. Make sure your car is on the correct side of the gas pump, with the engine off and the parking brake turned on. You may need to get out of the car and manually position it at the pump.

Now, check if your gas can has enough fuel. If your gas can is only partially full, the "fuel car" command may not appear. Ensure that your gas can is almost full, and then try again. Stand near where you would usually put the gas in your car.

At this point, the "fuel car" command should be available. If it is still not appearing, there may be an issue with your controls or wheel. Try resetting your in-game controls to default and updating your wheel/controller driver to the latest version.
