Oil Barrels dont give gas anymore?

[TeriyakiBoi]

I scavanged a whole bunch of oil barrels and I cant break them down nore get gas out of them? Did they change this in an update so I cant get gas out of them anymore? That was like the main way I got gas for my auger

[Skine]

Need to find the book for it.

theres a book to learn how to take ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gas out of a barrel? Thats just.. ugh and he fact I havent came across yet tells me its gonna be a ♥♥♥♥♥ finding it

[hyaer]

in roleplay reality, does an average person know how to mess with chemicals?

[Bennyisautistic22]

ikr suriusly u need a book ......these game was realistic and now its going overbaord

It's an oil barrel, you have to refine oil to make gas. So, yes you do need a book to refine gas from oil.

well if its just gas in the barrel im pretty sure i could figure how to get it out without reading a book

Yeah nevermind, surviving a apocalypse is harder than i thought lol

You just have to find the gas can schematic or book. :-)

Finally got it right it is a schematic, save oil drums till you find it.

Yeah, you can't store gasoline in 55 gallons drums. Too dangerous. Perfect for oil though! But to make gasoline from oil, you need a refinery. Too dangerous for the layman.

FYI, Not alltogether true, It's only dangerous if stored outside in the hot sun for long periods of time, plus any drums that are half full/empty are the first to explode when exposed to a natural hostile enviroment.

During WWII petroleum was transported and supplied to the front line depots in 55 gallon fuel drums and they most certainly were hostile enviroments where it didn't matter how full or near empty they were.

However, to help explain your point of view better, the 55 gallon drums found in-game and in real life service stations would most certainly contain motor oil or anti-freeze and definitely not gasoline.

Nope it is a schematic actually lol :P

Now to make things interesting, if (IF) the oil drums contain OIL (the label is correct, not simply a plug and play asset) then the real question is not "why do we need a schematic to turn us into petroleum engineers" but "why can't I get 'oil' out of the oil drum" (for reference, you need oil to make repair kits - everything needs repair kits. Only chainsaws, augers and minibikes need gas.)

Logic is your friend - even if all you are doing is designing a game. I can accept that your cabin / store / gas station all might have 55 gal drums of "oil" sitting around (although it is hard to imagine a reason why it would all be the same - more reasonable that some places might have 'fuel' oil, some barrels might be 'used' oil, etc.) I can accept that you need to study a book to learn how to build something that would allow you to distil this oil and get a version of 'gas'. Where we get into difficulties is that you can't get 'oil' out of this 'oil' : )

You need that good old 10w30 for your weapons kit. Barrels I would assume have crude oil in them though... so with more schematics we could potentially make refined oil too lol

Can't think of any reason why a gas station / store / cabin would have crude oil, though. Only place crude oil would be delivered would be a refinery (and probably *NOT* in 55 gal drums : )

If I understand the theory, in distillation of crude oil you get all of those products - gas being the "most" refined, diesel / fuel oil less, "oil" as a lubricant even less, etc. So we could be required to read seveal books / schematics, but it would make more sense if we simply learned the process of distillation (which I think we already know from 1st level - i.e. "grain alcohol" : )
