-----------------------------------------------------


        - Choose one of the locomotives from the Port Ross engine sheds.
 

(Remember to check your fuel periodically. You may need to stop and service your loco before the session ends)

 

        - Drive the locomotive to the fuel filling wharf at the refinery.

You could use the Driver Assistant COUPLE command.

First you need to know the name of the first tank car. Hold the Ctrl key and right click on the front tank car. Then give the Driver Assistant the instruction.

 

                ***Couple ... (select the name of the first tank car)


        - Couple up the locomotive to the tank cars on the refinery loop.
        - Pull the wagons out of the loop and then shunt them back into the refinery filling station to load.

        (Each tank car knows what it is to be filled with and you will need to stop with every four tank cars in front of the filling station)
        - Once loaded head out for your days deliveries.

 

-----------------------------------------------------

 

The tankcars contain the following:

 

-- 1 Ampol tankcars contain aviation fuel

-- 2 Caltex tankcars contain petrol

-- 9 Shell tankcars contain Diesel

 

The fuel unloading facilities will accept all the fuel that you give them so you will need to carefully decide ,when you get to each facility, the best means of ensuring they get their correct orders. In some cases you may find easiest to uncouple the correct tankcars and shunt them into the unloading facility.

In some yards you may find a shunter that you can employ to assist. Otherwise you will need to use your own locomotive.
