Use those oil jack things they make oil for you but you have to power them im pretty sure.

Use the pump jack. You just need to build that and find a portable generator. Well also have a tiny bit of gas just to start it but once you do, you can refuel the generator and all the cars you want. It is not recremended using a industrial generator to just power a few lights and a pump. Even if it can power more area it takes more gas and uses gas faster than the portable one.

the industrial generator has more space than the portable one and it lasts much longer than the portable generator but thanks for your help

You might need to move away from the gas stations so things respawn. One good reason why to not have a base of operations be in a town you loot often. (not saying that you do, but some people reading this might)

Also I've noticed that they don't seem to refill fully anymore. You have to totally drain them and then let them refresh (by leaving the area for a time) before they generate on full gas can's worth of gas (and not the crappy crafted can's capacity either).

Hope it helps. I think Nelson nerfed the fuel regeneration of fuel sources on maps.

2-3 (preferably more) pump jacks and an industrial generator is still the best source of fuel and fuel storage, so you're on the right track in that respect.

Why an industrial generator? The portable generator works way better for having an oil plant! I mean, it takes up very little space and uses only a tiny bit of gas. In order to make an oil derrick (or as many as the portable generator can cover) generate gas to its full capacity, you can place gas in the generator with a wooden jerrycan and take most of it out with another jerrycan one tier below.

Industrial Generator iirc does use four times as much fuel as a Portable Generator but can store a whole lot more fuel and has a much larger radius of effect and is just more efficient and convenient to use than several Portable Generators trying to do the same job.

if you have a small base, the Industrial Generator isn't needed and one pump jack and one portable generator, with maybe a fuel storage, would be fine enough.

Since the generator doesn't care how many things are powered inside of it, it is usually best to use the right sized generator for the right situation so fuel isn't wasted.

If you have a lone 'oil field' with many pump jacks; then yeah, one portable generator put right in the middle would be best.

If you have a huge base, and happen to have space for pump jacks, then the Industrial Generator would be best.

Huge base... Man, If a portable generator can't cover it all, then it doesn't mean it's time for an industrial one, just place more portable ones!

After four Portable Generators, it is best to just put in an Industrial Generator. You'll save on fuel and have a 27 hour operation time (1666.66 minutes) on a full tank, as opposed to a 11 hours (666.66 minutes) with a full tank on a Portable Generator.

Would you rather fill 4+ small generators all over the place in a base, or one big one?

Well, an industrial generator comes at the price of seven portable ones, and if you do need more than four generators to actually power lights and sentries around your base, then... that's a pretty big base. And the Industrial generator lasts 1333 1/3 minutes, or a bit over 22 hours, not 27. But yes, I do get your point.

Last most people have checked (http://unturned.wikia.com/wiki/Industrial_Generator) it is 1666 2/3rds minutes.

If it is out of date, I would like someone to fix it.

Still, 22 hours, 27 hours, it goes frick'n all day and night before needing refilled.

I updated both of the generators' pages with correct information, but some anonymous came in and did his jack!
Gotta ask Molton to reverse the grief, or do it myself.

I'm not sure if this is the problem, but if you can't get it to refuel, right clicking the gas container might help, because a recent update made it to where you can't left click, and get gas, you may have to right click.
