A flatbed mounted system of three 400 liter fuel tanks with built in fuel pump, turning your truck into a mobile gas station of even greater proprtions!
You can now rescue vehicles stranded on the side of the road because they ran out of fuel, become a fuel peddler, or fuel up your fleet of vehicles easily inside your garage, and much more!

This system is designed as a Szym Paladin truck addon! It is not guaranteed to work with anything else!

This product is made with materials, it uses normal (bump) maps and specular (shine) maps and looks best with Advanced Lighting Enabled

Contents:
AT Advanced Refuel Addon ------------------ The main item
Readme ----------------------------------------- The notecard you are reading
Paladin Fuel Addon root script --------------- A nessesary helper script

Installition:
Rez a Szym Paladin truck, any variant that has a bed
Link the AT Refuel Addon object to the truck
Select the truck, go to contents tab, and drag in the "Paladin Fuel Addon root script" from your inventory, into the contents of the truck!

This will only fit into the Long Flatbed, rez Paladin variants that have "L" in their name, like the "Szym Paladin 2DR L"!

Details for nerds about installition:
The helper root script is a nesseesary component to be in the contents of the truck, as it manages the truck's default fuel operation, and forwards GFS API messages, ensuring you are able to refuel your aux fuel tank as needed!

How to use the Refuel Addon:

Stop the engine of your truck before any operation

Click the tiny gas cap on the addon to open the gas cap, this will disable the truck's own refuel capability, allowing the addon to recieve fuel instead, refuel your truck as normal, it'll refuel the addon instead
On this version, all 3 gas caps will be removed when clicked either of them, this is an SL limitation issue about mesh face counts!
Replace the gas cap by clicking on the same spot you did to remove it

There is a guage above the gas cap you can read how much fuel is in each tank!
The maximum fuel is 400 Liters

You can put either Diesel, Gasoline or any other type of fuel in the tank, it'll smartly recognise and use the fuel you put in

To swap fuel types, you have to empty the tank out first! (or reset the script)

Click the fuel nozzle to get a dialog of nearby scripted objects
Select the object you want to attempt to refuel with the PREV and NEXT buttons, click SELECT to refuel the object!

You can click SELF to refuel the truck itself

While fueling you can click the nozzle that is in the vehicle you are fueling, to pause the flow of fuel

Click the switch on the junction valve where all the pipes go into, to select which fuel tank is active!
When refilling the addon and with gas caps removed, that same switch also selects which tank will recieve fuel!

I finally bought the Paladin and I like the idea to have a fuel rescue truck. That AddOn is amazing for that, due to the 3 separate tanks.
It is really easy to install (just follow instructions) and to use too (ok i already have a bit experience on AT fuel system items too, maybe it helps)
Thank you for that product.

Might be good if only it had customer support

I bought this on august 19, 2021. I put of writing the review hoping for some assistance, but did not happen. I sent IM to creator with an issue about pump not turning off automatically, he answered quickly, and told me literally i did not know what I was talking about. He said what I was describing was not possible and that I was making it all up. Needles to say I did no such thing but, he did say he would study my absurd problem and see what could be done. I never heard from him again. Rude is putting his attitude mildly.
