Hand Fuel Pump

[frank12 0]

I have tought this while refulling our Huey and Hilux... what if we had Manual Fuel Pump? it can come in Three version: one activated with the foot and one that will make turn a wheel that will make pump fuel into the vehicule or use an Electric one (READ BELOW)

It will take only 1 Tool Slot and can be found In Supermartket,Industrial and Fuel Stations. To make it work The player will have to:

1) Go to the car and via the action menu select " Put Hose in the Fuel tank"

2) go to the Fuel Source(Gas tank that are used atm) and via the Action Menu select "Attach Hose"

*Tube creates connecting the gas tank t the car*

3a) While standing near the Gas tanks or the car Select via the action menu: "Manual Fuel Pumping"

3b) If using the Manual Hand version Choose the speed of pumping

4) once done just go at the car and Via he action menu: "Put away Fuel Pump" and it will disappear and go back into your Tool Belt

Foot Activated one:

Advantages:

-Fast Fueling for Small vehicules

-Around 8 M cord

-No Noise at all

Disvatage:

-Visible (since you have to be stand up to activate it and have maximum power)

-Slow Debit of fuel (20L/min)

Hand Activate one:

Something Like that

Advantages:

-Fast Fueling

-Long Cord (10-12M)

-Variable Speed of fueling depends on effort:

Disavantage:

-Noisy (Attracts Zombies at short range)

-Consumes Energy therefor makes you hungry faster depending on how fast your doing the pumping.

Variable Speed:

-Slow 20L/Minute Very Close range zombies Not affected on food

-Medium: 60L/Min Close=Very Short range Zombies Be hungry 2x faster

-Medium fast: 100L/min Short Range Zombies Be Hungry 4X faster

-Fast: 150L/min Short-Medium Range Zombies Be Hungry 6X faster

-Sprint: 200L/Min far=Very far Range Zombies Be hungry 10 X faster (note can be only hold for a X number of time. like the sprint mode)

Electric Activated one:

-One tool Slot

-Very Rare Item to be found only in Industrial Buildings.

Advantage:

-Very fast pumping: 200L-300L/min

Disavantage:

-Very Noisy

-Need the Engine of the car/helicopter Running to WORK Engine off = no electricity so it wont work!

-Attracts zombies from Medium range to Far Range

-May Slow down from tiem to time due to overheating

-May Stop working due to Overheating.

instructions:

Once near a gas tank press Eject to leave the vehicule and leave the engine running

1) while the engine is running Select via the action menu: "Attach Cable to bateries"

2) Select via the Action menu: Attach hose to Fuel tank (vehicule)

3) go towards the gas tank and attach it

4) make run the Small engine that appear via the action menu to start pumping.

5) when overheating just turn off to let it cool down

6) once fueling is done just select: Detach cable from Baterries and the Fuel pump will go back into your tool belt.

Overheating factors:

-Long period of time (over 1-2 min)

-Just a random Failure

To cooldown Fuel Pump must be turned off.

Please Comment or ask any questions. I am currently a bit tired and i may be unclear on some stuff. Just post and i will answer you back!

Cheers,

Frank

Hello there

Personally, I *only* pump by hand...

Secondly, I think the trasnfer of fuel should need/involve some more thought/equipment.

Interesting ideas!

1 x Hose

>=1 x Jerry Can

1. Siphon from fuel tank of source vehicle, via Hose, into Jerry Can.

2. Empty Jerry Can contents into fuel tank of target vehicle.

Siphon option available only if Hose is in inventory.

It has absolutely no advances, so it's an useless feature. You can already find fuel tanks outside gas stations and it's not faster than those. Just drive next to a fuel tank and click a few times, 300 liters filled in less than a minute.

To answer your Useless feature, this is a tool you can carry. its like a map or a a GPS. it can only be used @ any refuelling tank that exist already in Dayz. We are just remplacing the action of Jerry Can by a Manual Fuel pump. Seems you kind of think i am talking about the Pump @ a gas station. No thoese cannot be used since there no electricity at all. having a small compress engine can pump you fuel really fast, IRL on my Toyota HIlus i have a Build in Air Compress and a Small Electric motor to pump fuel out. its debit is of 100L/min. And the hand or food activated are normally Hobby Fuel Pumps but in putting the concept bigger... you can pump fuel.

And With How many Jerry Can? I know you can achieve that but hey it need 4 JErrycan and at least buddy to be with you. This gives an alernative way to fueling. People can either Fuel witht he good Ol jerry can and rant about it or try adn find a manual pump to go a bit faster. and tbh it would serve. have already tried to refuel an empty chopper? I had too a couples time adn yes i got killed in th eprocess sicne the fueling is darn slow with even 4 jerrycan. yet finding the electric fuel pump is nearly like look for NV googles. You will rarely find them. the more common would be the foot activated one and the hand activated one.

and we ca say that there no pum in the world (exep aircraft ones) that will fuel you at 100L/min. This goes beyond what is real. I have my own private server here i test everything out then i log in in a daytime will full o f player and i try to do the same again. Refuling a Chopper with 2 jerrycan can take a while. We found the AH-6 and only found 2 Jerry Can while finding cout;ess car ahweel and other parts. Finding a Pump can help when you dont have 8 Jerry can with 2 people... and anyways with two there always one guarding ...

The way jerry cans work doesn't make sense anyway. I'm fairly certain the final polish will, at the very least, add an animation.

It's like filling a canteen from a tap - improbably fast.

I'd like to see a pump and / or siphoning introduced. If only for the potential to steal the fuel out of other vehicles, or share fuel between them.

1. Siphon from fuel tank of source vehicle, via Hose, into Jerry Can.

2. Empty Jerry Can contents into fuel tank of target vehicle.

OR, just park the vehicle you want to put fuel IN to, down hill a little bit. Let gravity do the work. Edited November 30, 2012 by Chabowski

Fuel pumps need to be in the game. Or be able to syphon fuel with a hose.

Orlok, why do you put this after every post?
