helicopter gas...

[Talentz 46]

since when does the helicopter lose gas??...we parked it and we got back in and it lost like all its gas and everything is repaired to green...

Having the same problem, noobs are trying to tell me on reddit that if you repair the glass it will stop leaking fuel yeaaah right

[Blindingsun 233]

heli's dont use gasoline, or petrol as it's known.

they use Kerosene.

so "gas" is incorrect. just saying.

Fuel tank leaking, find fuel tank parts to fix it.

[Rock (DayZ) 95]

it's part of the gameplay aspect of vehicles, ground or otherwise. When you use them they use fuel, in order to keep using them you have to find a jerry can, fill it with gas, and then take it back to your vehicle and refuel it. I think it takes a helicopter 30 jerry cans to fill the tank completely.

There is no option to repair a fuel tank on the chopper.

[killjoy (DayZ) 17]

Yeah you need scrap metal to stop the leak.

Well I can confirm that they are right. You actually need to repair the whole chopper (including glass) for it to stop leaking fuel.

Thank you for this. We parked ours away and it was still leaking... all but two pieces of glass need to be repaired :(

I know this much, it's A LOT more than 30 jerry cans to fill one up now.

[Aira 22]

You need to repair EVERY single part of the heli, this means glass too.

If you don't believe, than you will never fix the leak, have fun.

We are flying with our heli over the map and have fun with no leak, it stopped after fixing every single part.

[Criddler 1]

You´ll need to repair the heli

5 Scrap Metal

1 Main Rotary Parts

6 Windscreen Glass

1 Engine Parts

To completely top an empty fuel tank you need about 80 Jerry cans

Remember to repair the UH-1H completely first otherwise your fuel will leak out

The chopper we found originally had hull green, but something happened as after a server restart every part was orange. As hull can not be fixed and it eats 20 litres of fuel in less than 10 seconds, it's of no bloody use. Can't even be destroyed, the hull will stay orange. We spent all the ammo for the machine guns but they might spawn again, someone can use it to kill a few zombies.

We just got the chopper repaired completely, everything's green and we cannot repair any more parts (we have everything and tried it once or twice). It is still leaking. I'm not sure what else we can repair.

[A Bush killed me 189]

fix all the windows you noobs and it wont leak.

Clearly you are an idiot.

Fix the windows, it will stop leaking.

Thank you so much. We had the issue last night, had no idea how to fix it, it was a HUGE pain in the ass.

Seen this happen as well. Very annoying.

5 scrap metal (main rotor, secondary rotor, missiles, instruments, hull)

engine parts

main rotor assembly

8-9 windows (even the windows you cant see on the chopper)

our chopper doesnt leak so it can be done. look around the chopper for more red

Ok so let's say I've fully repaired a choppah and spent hours flying around like a boss with my door gunners smoking noobs and Zeds. How do you rearm the door guns once they are dry?
