Good places for red fuel containers?

[TheQuestion]

I've seen one here and there, any really good place to find more?

[Alpacalypse]

I have two: The airfield where you first pick up Emmerich has quite a few containers.
If you aren't too far into the game, this may be considered a spoiler:
The XOF facility, where you fight Skullface has maybe 9-10 crates. I've even found two red Precious Metals crates right next to eachother.

Is it me or we get A LOT less of fuel containers? I've found myself more than once with a lot of other resources and no fuel at all. Now I aim particularly to gat fuel and still I don't think I'm getting more than the other types.

Afghanistan: Mountain Relay Base, Afghanistan Central Base Camp, OKB Zero.
Africa: Mfinda Oilfield, Nova Braga Airport.

Yeah, fuel is a lot scarse, but also the fact that almost every base upgrade requires it is making it even more of a bottleneck. By design, I'm sure, seeing as the only way to get high amounts of it, are from the paid FOBs.

There's a really easy way to farm unprocessed fuel (and precious materials and I think common metal? Fuel's the only one anyone cares about anyway). Note that it requires the very last fulton upgrade, the one you get from the legendary jackal side op.

1. Go to mission 12
2.Tranq the two guards near the start and run up the scaffolding on the left. There's three large cargo containers, one of which has 7500 fuel.
3. Grab all the containers, then run over to the other scalffolding and read the intel file. That triggers an autosave, which sends all the materials to mother base
4. Restart the mission and repeat as necessary.

It doesn't totally solve the fuel problem, since you still have to wait for it to process, but it does mean you'll always be processing at max speed.

Going to try right now!

+1.

Top advice. Also a good way to farm soldiers as the two guards are looking away.

Don't forget you can skip cutscenes with [ESC]

Mission 30. [Minor Spoilers (Buddy Identity, Secret Outfit, Mission Title, Radio Dialogue)]

4 red fuel containers per run, as many as you can afford to fulton with restarts as video describes.

Sadly, most of these have been patched. They give only 10% of their original value if farmed. However, this resets weekly, i think. So you can come back and farm every week.

Why not just run support FOB for like 10,000 fuel a piece?

As much as it just ruins your entire day, it's probably going to keep happening.
