Fuel Tender

The Fuel Tender is a lightweight support car introduced in version v1.0.1 of TRAINS. It carries five times as much fuel as a diesel locomotive and automatically refuels any diesel engine directly in front of it. In the Urban Update it received a height adjustment so it visually matches the newer diesel locomotives.

Functionality

When placed directly behind a Front-cab Diesel Engine or a Mid-cab Diesel Engine, the Fuel Tender continuously supplies fuel to the locomotive, enabling long-distance travel without manual refilling. The tender is filled by using a Diesel Fuel Bucket on it, and it holds five times the fuel capacity of a diesel engine. Once filled, it automatically transfers fuel to the locomotive as the train moves. The car has a weight of 'one half', making it lighter than most rolling stock and suitable for any consist.

The Fuel Tender can also be dyed with any of the sixteen Minecraft colours.

Interaction

Players can couple the Fuel Tender behind any diesel locomotive to enable automatic refuelling. The tender’s internal storage provides fuel directly to the engine as it moves.
