Diesel Fuel System v1.0.0.0

Diesel Fuel System: Diesel Is No Longer Just a Number in Your Tank ⛽
Does your machine run forever on any diesel, even fuel stored for months with water at the bottom and a filter never changed? No real diesel engine works that way. This mod brings real diesel management to the game: fuel degrades, water gets in, filters clog, and the engine lets you know.

How to get it
🔹 10,000 L farm tank ($13,900): order regular (Grade 2) or premium (Grade 3) diesel, delivered with freight. Prices change daily. 🔹 32,000 L diesel tanker ($90,000): the MKS 32 with pump, hose, 3" Camlock coupling, earth lug, valve, litre meter and ADR plates. 🔹 Fuel terminal ($5,000): a loading island to fill the tanker like at a real depot. 🔹 Tool shop: band filter wrench, water-finding paste dipstick, OEM or aftermarket filters.

What it does
🔹 Every litre has its own condition: quality, age, water, sediment and microbes. Machines refuelled from your tank inherit it; base-game stations still give fresh diesel. 🔹 Refuel by hand with the nozzle: 8.5 m hose, 2 L/s. Hold the trigger at the filler, or leave it latched and it shuts off when full. Pick it back up with K. 🔹 Premium is not a power bonus: higher cetane, detergents, demulsifier and stabiliser. Better cold starts, cleaner injectors, longer storage. Regular is fine in old mechanical engines; in a common rail it fouls the injectors. 🔹 Stored diesel ages and collects water. Test it with the dipstick in the sample jar, drain the bottom, treat it with stabiliser and biocide, or order fuel polishing. 🔹 Clogged filter: it restricts flow. Fine with no load, weak uphill, then it surges and finally won't start. Real service life: 350–500 h on tractors, 400 h on combines, scaled to your calendar: at 1 day per month, a machine working daily needs a filter every 4–5 in-game days. 🔹 Sediment bowl on every machine: if water reaches the injection pump, the engine misfires and stalls. 🔹 Step-by-step filter change with the band wrench. The dirty old filter stays in your hand and sells as scrap. 🔹 Air in the lines: hand primer on mechanical engines, ignition on for the electric lift pump on common rail. 🔹 Won't start? The starter cranks while you hold the key and the real cause is shown: air, clogged or missing filter, gelled or degraded fuel. 🔹 Engine off to refuel: at stations, with the nozzle and at the terminal. 🔹 Loading island: earth clamp, hose to the outlet, valves, START, automatic cut-off and a receipt with the metered litres. Emergency stop included.
