Fuel

Fuel is a resource used for engine propulsion and for crafting. It is obtained by salvaging fuel canisters which protrude all over islands. Each cannister takes 3 salvage shots to get all the fuel. The first gives 8 fuel and "pops" the cannister out of the cradle, the second gives 8 and the last gives 9. Totalling 25 fuel per cannister.

Occurrence
Although fuel can be found all over islands, it is also an occasional drop from salvaging scrap items. It is also worth noting that in the Badlands islands will not spawn fuel.
