How to Get Gas in My Winter Car
Fueling a car in My Winter Car does not work like you expect. The pump stays locked until you do one specific thing first. This guide explains the exact way to get gas working.
How to Get Gas in My Winter Car
You must prepay at the gas station terminal before touching the nozzle and fueling up.
If you do not prepay, the pump will only beep and the nozzle will not move.
How the Gas Station System Works
Each gas pump has a card terminal attached to it.
The terminal controls the pump. Until payment is approved, the pump stays locked. This is intentional.
Step by Step Gas Station Instructions
Follow these steps in order. Skipping one breaks the process.
Park your car next to a gas pump
Walk to the card terminal on the pump
Insert your bank card
Enter a PIN, you choose it and must remember it
Enter the maximum amount you want to spend, for example 100 mk
Confirm the amount
Select the pump number you are using
Wait for the terminal to finish
Pick up the gas nozzle
Fill the car with fuel
Put the nozzle back
If the nozzle does not lift, the payment step failed.
Why the Gas Pump Will Not Work
The pump only fails for a few reasons.
You did not prepay
You did not select a pump number
You walked away before confirmation
You tried using the wrong pump
Restart the process at the terminal if this happens.
Which Gas Station to Use
There is a gas station in the city and another outside the city.
Both use the same system. Some players report the outside station works more consistently.
Important Things to Remember
Gas stations are still Early Access.
You must prepay every time
The PIN is player chosen
Forgetting the PIN can cause problems later
Fueling without payment is not possible
Take it slow and follow the order.
Final Blurb
To get gas in My Winter Car, you must pay at the gas station terminal first. Choose an amount, select the pump, then fuel the car. If it beeps, the payment step was missed.
