Rust is a survival game in which fuel plays a key role in exploration, construction and survival. If you want to use vehicles, generators and other equipment, you have to learn how to get fuel and use it effectively.
Rust How to Make Diesel
In the game of Rust, you will find two main types of fuel:
Low Grade Fuel – the primary fuel used in generators, furnaces and vehicles.
Crude Oil – crude oil that needs to be processed into low-quality fuel at a refinery.
How to get fuel in Rust
Creation of low quality fuel
The easiest way to get fuel is to make it. For this you need:
Animal Fat (Animal Fat) – obtained from hunted animals.
Fabric (Cloth) – obtained, for example, from wild hemp plants (Hemp) or animals.
Low Grade Fuel Recipe:
3x Animal Fat + 1x Cloth = 4x Low Grade Fuel
Finding fuel in barrels and crates
Exploring the world of Rust, you will come across barrels (Barrels) and loot boxes. You’ll often find finished fuel or oil in them. Look for barrels especially in monuments, on roads and near wrecks.
Oil extraction
If you plan to play a more advanced game, you can acquire fuel by extracting oil. To do so:
Go to the Oil Rig or find the Pump Jack (oil extraction device).
Collect the crude oil (Crude Oil).
Process it at the refinery (Small Oil Refinery) to get low-quality fuel.
Refining recipe:
1x Crude Oil = 3x Low Grade Fuel
What is fuel used for in Rust
Powering Furnaces and Generators
Low-quality fuel is needed to run furnaces (Furnace), which allow ore to be melted into metal and other raw materials.
Vehicles and Transportation
Want to move faster around the map? Fuel is crucial for:
Helicopters (Minicopter, Scrap Transport Helicopter) – ideal for exploration.
Cars (Modular Cars) – can be upgraded and repaired.
Boats and pontoons (Boats, RHIB) – great for water travel.
Each of these modes of transportation uses low-quality fuel, so it’s a good idea to have a good supply!
Exploiting Monuments
Some monuments (Oil Rig, Power Plant, Train Yard) require fuel to operate generators or run cranes. It’s worth having a supply if you plan to loot these sites.
CONCLUSION
Fuel is essential in Rust for powering generators, vehicles, and industrial processes. You can obtain it by crafting Low Grade Fuel from animal fat and cloth, looting barrels and crates, or refining crude oil at a refinery. Managing fuel efficiently allows for better exploration, faster travel, and access to key monuments in the game.
