>>> What is it?
Fuel System is a free and optional RP fuel system for use with any vehicle script.
>>> How does it work?
If a vehicle has the tank script added to the root prim, then any driver wearing the free Fuel System HUD can now use simulated fuel when the vehicle is in motion. If they run out of fuel, the vehicle stops operating. The HUD wearer can fuel up at a Fuel System enabled pump, or even use a fuel can for a small amount of fuel when away from a pump. Removing the HUD will bypass the Fuel System entirely. The vehicle operates normally for anyone not using the Fuel System HUD, so the presence of the tank script does not affect vehicle use for vehicle drivers who choose not to use the system.
>>> How do I refuel?
Place a Fuel System Pump script in an object (such as a fuel pump). You can place it in pumps in your existing gas station if you have modify rights, or make a new pump object. Then, while wearing your Fuel system HUD, touch the pump to refuel. You must be within a few meters of the pump.
>>> Does it require that I use a certain vehicle script?
No, it is designed to work in any vehicle. If you did not build the vehicle, you will need at least modify permission to add the Tank script.
>>> What if the vehicle operator does not want to use the Fuel System?
They simply do not wear the Fuel System HUD, and the vehicle will operate as normal.
>>> Can I distribute vehicles using Fuel System or include the Fuel System HUD with my vehicles or distribute my own Fuel Pumps or Fuel Cans?
YES. It is free to distribute and what you like with. You can advertise your sales vehicles as Fuel System Enabled and include the tank script, as it will not affect the vehicle operation unless the driver chooses to use the Fuel System HUD. You can redistribute Fuel System packs. There is even a dash-mount fuel gauge prim you can add to your vehicle that is active when a driver wearing the Fuel System HUD is seated.

Adds some realism and is free
I think this is cool and adds some fun realism, and yes I know there are things it does not do, but it was developed long ago and free. Even for people that have little skills editing prims and dropping in scripts should be able to make good use of this.
Excellent Fuel System
This is a very good fuel system for your vehicles that allow modify permissions. Very detailed and interactive. I would pay for this, but it's free so even better! ^_^ I would give this 5 stars if it weren't for one thing bugging me: no matter if your vehicle is moving or idle, the fuel expends the same amount over time. Whether I'm going fast or slow, still the same amount of fuel expended. It would be more realistic if fuel would expend less when vehicle is in idle, and fuel would expend more when vehicle is moving. The way it is now the vehicle will take forever to run out of fuel, as I could cross a hundred regions and still not be out of gas. lol If you can fix this, the fuel script system would be perfect! I would totally pay for that update. (for reference I've been using these scripts on my motorboats.)
Help me plz!
This is a rate 5 product! Gives more realistic detail to my car. But anyway, how do I turn my "Fuel system off" to "Fuel system on"? Or something? I need help. Please, someone?
And how long does the gas take to run out?
