Global Fuel System
The Global Fuel System is an open-use fuel system maintained by the NTBI Group.
System Outline
GFS is designed to act as a roleplay tool. For 7+ years, drivers have roleplayed filling up at nonfunctional fuel stations without any sense of activity or realism, or tried to work with lazy fuel systems that were impossible to understand.
With GFS, vehicles have an extra layer of realism, and drivers no longer have to pretend when they're pumping gas - GFS makes it visibly and audibly clear.
Implementing GFS into vehicles is very easy. You will need to contact us to get a GFS toolkit, but after that setup is simple and requires no oversight from us.
GFS is in development and is not ready yet. Please don't contact us at this time.
Open-Use & Usage Agreement
GFS is not open-source. Manufacturers are given access to the pump API; nothing more. To retain control over the system, and in case we wish to upgrade it in the future for more features, NTBI Group retains all rights over the pump and its code. You may not reverse-engineer or otherwise copy the design of the pump or its API to make your own. We distribute the pump freely and allow access to this API freely as a service to roleplayers and drivers in general - please don't fragment the market and create your own. If you have any features or suggestions you wish to add to the system, feel free to contact us and we will consider them.
Vehicle Setup
Setting up your vehicle is easy:
- First, position and rotate the nozzle in your toolkit so that it is inserted fully into the fuel filler.
- Link it to the vehicle and click the nozzle. It will give you a line of code in local chat, which you must put in the script where it says "PUT NOZZLE COORDINATES LINE HERE".
- Set up the tank capacity, fuel type, etc. in the variables at the top.
- Integrate the script into the vehicle however you like. Note that the script does not use fuel; you will need to gauge fuel consumption yourself.
That's it. We recommend having some sort of gauge or indicator for the fuel level, as well as shutting off the engine when the fuel is empty.
Pump Usage
The GFS pump operates in the following manner:
- Park vehicle directly in front of the pump with fuel filler door on the same side as the pump (maximum 3m away)
- Click pump and select "Start Fueling" (nozzle will be inserted)
- Click nozzle to start/stop the pump (nozzle will automatically shut off when tank is full)
- Click pump and select "Finish" (nozzle will be removed and fueling is completed)
