How do I refuel?

You can refuel by going to the Fuel Station. You can refuel once a per day.
The current day ends at midnight Eastern Time, not your local time zone if you are in a different time zone.

As of MAY 2020 you can refuel without losing what is unused. The Fuel will now be added instead of replacing what was left.


To get to the Fuel Station via the MAP icon, click on the MAP icon which is located bottom right of your game screen.
Then click on the Fuel Station.





OR If you already have fuel you can can click the Fuel Icon top left of your game screen.

If you still have fuel left to use, there will be a number next to the Fuel Icon like this:


If you use this method when you click on the Icon you will see a popup with information:



Click the green check mark to proceed, click the red X to cancel.


The FARMTOWN FUEL menu will load and show you how much Fuel you will get for several factors:
  • 10 Gallons for each Level you have reached.
  • 20 Gallons for each Neighbour you have.
  • 10 Gallons for each friend you help that day (Help Given).
  • 20 Gallons for each Active Neighbour in the last 24 hours.
  • 300 Gallons for each Fuel Tank you have in your Harvests & Products storage (from refinery) and each Fuel Tank in your Gift Box that you have not stored yet ( ... gifts from friends).

This is an example of what you could see:

Beneath Fuel Tanks you will see two figures in brackets.
  • (xx gifts from friends) is the amount of Fuel Tanks you have in your gift box that you have not stored yet.
  • (xx from refinery) is the Fuel Tanks you have stored from your oil refinery, gained from working friends Gas Stations that have Fuel Tanks loaded into them PLUS the Fuel Tanks you have already stored from your Gift box on previous occasions.

The total amount of Fuel for this section is both of those figures added together then multiplied by 300.
In the above example there are no Fuel Tanks in the gift box, there are over 10 million Fuel Tanks in the Harvests & Products storage.
10068927 x 300 = 3,020,678,100 which displays as 3020M. The counter cannot display the full figure as there are too many digits. The M represents million.

If you change your mind and do not want to refuel you can click the red x top right of the menu to cancel.


To Fuel up, click on

You will then see a pop up with information like this:

The information contains the Fuel you still have (if any) and what your Fuel Total will be after you refuel.
  • So for the example in this post the user had:
  • 628,760,843 fuel left before refuelling
  • The Fuel station showed they would get and additional 3,020M which consists of:
    • 11,500 for Game Level
    • 2,280 for Neighbours
    • 10,000 for Help Given
    • 2,100 for Active Neighbours
    • 10068927 Fuel Tanks x 300 = 3,020,678,100
  • After Refuelling 628,760,843 + 3,202,703,980 = 3,649,438,943 (over 3.6 Billion Fuel)


Click the green check mark and your Fuel will be added. Example:


Once you have refuelled if you were to try again the time showing to you when you can next refuel is the the time remaining until midnight EST. After midnight EST you will be able to refuel again.


March 2020 - The Fuel limit was raised above 4 billion. At this time there is no known upper limit. However the in the section just above Refuel Now the counter is limited to how many digits it will show.
