Motor using a ton of gas?
So I finally found all the pieces to build a motor and I am having some issues. I can't even make it to one island with out running out of gas.

Is this normal?

Am I not refilling the motor properly?

Is there any way to see how much gas is in the motor?

I was able to make it to one of the closest islands and back to home base but almost used up the whole tank. It is a bit difficult to see but if you look at the motor (from raft operating position) you can see a bar. It's dark but you'll see it drain.

My propblem as that when the motor stalls at full speed I get thrown of the raft and all discombobulated. Without the compass I can't imagine how anyone doesn't get lost. I went back to padling my life boat. Slower but much less problems.

I too went back to the raft. Kind of disappointed with the motor.

Here is a good picture to show you how to check fuel levels.

I got from my main base to 4 islands, packing trees every time to expand my base island and then I ran out of fuel in the middle of the ocean :(

Seems to be bugged for me, i went to at least 3 islands and my fuel-tank is still full.

Did you add any Jerrycans to it? You can overfill a fuel tank currently giving it more than 100% fuel. Only until the level drops below 100% will it start to show the actual level.

Also, there is a bug that the fuel gauge display will only update after you start it up the first time after you load a save game.

I filled it up once, directly after ive crafted it.

A freshly crafted and each Jerrycan added should provide approximately 10 minutes of run time.

I'd like it to not use as much fuel as it does now. Can go to one island and back on about roughly 1 tank which is a problem when you want to expand beyond the closer islands.

We should be able to tow the inflatable raft as a backup. I'd go for this even if it used more fuel. Would be totally worth it.
