Progress stopping Bug? Leaking Fuel / Missing Fuel Cap

[the_ecips]

So... I'm losing fuel like crazy, one round behind the workshop uses up a good part already. Unless I pack all my storage full with additional fuel cans, I can't plan for any long drives to the inner zone, which blocks my progress.

When I scan my fuel cap, I get the neat hint for "Missing Fuel Cap" and no way of fixing this.
I found a thread on reddit where someone had the exact problem and their source was their backseat tank.
I replaced and now got rid of every additional fuel tank (just 1 side tank) I had and I'm still losing fuel like crazy.
It's not a quirk, I double checked everything. The only hint I get is the "Missing Fuel Cap".

Anyone know how to fix that? I can't progress any further.

Haven't had this debuff personally, but did you replace the back left panel where the fuel door is located? Many of the parts will eventually develop permanent debuffs forcing you to replace them, such as Balding tires or Fragile doors. This may be that situation.

Also to add, when you scan a part to diagnose problems, it will usually tell you what tool is needed to fix it, if it says none, then it is permanent.

I have the same issue, my one save is now stuck in a soft lock state.

I took all additional fuel tanks off, which was one side tank in my case, that fixed the leaking. I don't know how or when to attach some again, I'm helping myself with fuel cans in the inventory until this is fixed. The missing fuel cap was not the source of my fuel leakage, it was my side tank. It didn't tell me that the side tank had any issues though, but taking it off fixed it -- AFTER reloading my game and trying again.

The missing fuel cap seems to be a known bug; several people on the PD's discord mentioned it. Doesn't seem to have any consequences though. It's just there.

cant even play

The reason for this is that at some point during a mission you abandoned it.
This causes you to lose some parts of your car and consequently you end up losing some part that wasn't implemented in the game yet.So this means that until the developer implements this part in the craft menu you won't be able to play unless you start a new game.
If you want to prevent this error from happening in your new save, you will have to disable item loss in the menu
So that when you abandon a mission or someone steals a piece of your car it doesn't happen again

The game can detect 3rd party cheat apps. turn of wemod or whatever you are using and it willl be fixed.
