There are two types of fuel, solid fuel and gas mixtures. The only solid fuel available in the game right now is Coal, coal can be used to fuel the [[Solid Fuel Generator]].

 +
In order to use gasses for fuel you need a combustible gas combined with oxygen. The only flammable gas in the game is represented by H2 (Hydrogen) also named generically as [[Ice (Volatiles)]].
  
−
In order to use gasses for fuel you need a combustible gas combined with an oxygen source. The only flammable gas in the game is [[Volatiles]] (labeled as H<sub>2</sub>), the two oxygen sources are [[Oxygen]] (2:1 mix simply called fuel) and [[Nitrous Oxide]] (1:1 mix called superfuel).
+
== Mixing Gaseous Fuel == <!--T:2-->
 +
You can easily mix fuel by adding O2 and H2 to a pipe network in order to put it into canisters or pump into a furnace.
 +
H2 can be attained by melting the [[Ice (Volatiles)]] that can be found in the world while O2 can be attained by melting the [[Ice (Oxite)]].
 +
You can move gasses from the world atmosphere into a pipe network using a [[passive Vent]] or an [[Active Vent]].
 +
Depending on the proportions of your gas mixture you will be able to attain a more or less efficient burn.

=== Fuel Combustion ===
+
===Setup=== <!--T:4-->
−
Autoignition Temperature: 300℃<br>
+
# Place the 2 Gas connector platforms
−
2 Volatiles + 1 O<sub>2</sub> -> 3 Pollutant + 6 CO<sub>2</sub> + 572kJ
+
# Connect the 2 gas connector platforms to the inputs of the gas mixer
 +
# Connect the gas mixer output to the canister connector
 +
# Connect the gas mixer power input to power.

=== Fuel Combustion Using a H2 Combustor ===
+
===Use=== <!--T:5-->
−
2 Volatiles + 1 O<sub>2</sub> -> 2 H<sub>2</sub>O + 429kJ
+
# Put a large bottle or scrubber filled with O2 on one platform.
−
 
+
# Put a large bottle or scrubber filled with H2/volatile on the other platform.
−
=== Superfuel Combustion ===
+
# Use a wrench to connect both to their platforms.
−
Autoignition Temperature: 50℃<br>
+
# Set gas mixer to desired combination (33% H2 67% O2)
−
1 Volatiles + 1 N<sub>2</sub>O -> 2 N<sub>2</sub> + 2 CO<sub>2</sub> + 572kJ
+
# Turn on gas mixer
−
 
+
# Place empty canister in inline connector.
−
Note that staying below autoignition temperature means condensation for Nitrous Oxide at more than about 1MPa pressure, making it hard to store the fuel mix in large quantities without liquid management. While this reaction releases the same amount of energy as the classic fuel combustion above, it does so using half the volatiles and heating waste gases with less thermal mass resulting in higher temperatures.

== Mixing Fuel == <!--T:2-->
 
−
You can easily mix fuel by adding O<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub> to a pipe network in order to put it into canisters or pump into a furnace.
 
−
 
 
−
H<sub>2</sub> can be attained by melting the [[Ice (Volatiles)]] that can be found in some worlds while being part of the atmosphere of [[Worlds#Vulcan|Vulcan]]. O<sub>2</sub> can be attained by melting the [[Ice (Oxite)]] or again from some atmospheres. N<sub>2</sub>O is part of [[Ice (Nitrice)]] or can be created by the [[Nitrolyzer]].

Depending on how exact the proportions of your gas mixture are you will end up with different end temperatures and pressures after ignition.

===Basic Canister Mixing Setup=== <!--T:3-->
 
−
====Parts required====
 
−
* 2 x [[Portables Connector]]
 
−
* 2 x [[Portable Gas Tank]]
 
−
* 1 x [[Pipe Gas Mixer]]
 
−
* 1 x [[Gas Tank Storage]]
 
−
* ''n'' x [[Pipes]]
 
−
* ''n'' x [[Cables]]
 
−
* ''n'' x [[Gas Canister]]
 
−
 
 
−
====Setup==== <!--T:4-->
 
−
# Place both Portable Connectors
 
−
# Connect both Portable Connectors to the the inputs of the Pipe Gas Mixer
 
−
# Connect the Pipe Gas Mixer output to the Gas Tank Storage input
 
−
# Connect the Pipe Gas Mixer power input to power source.
 
−
 
 
−
====Use==== <!--T:5-->
 
−
# Put first Portable Gas Tank or scrubber filled with O<sub>2</sub> on one Portables Connector.
 
−
# Put second Portable Gas Tank or scrubber filled with H<sub>2</sub>/volatile on the other Portables Connector.
 
−
# Use a wrench to connect both Portable Gas Tanks to their places.
 
−
# Optional: for a perfect fuel mix, ensure the temperatures of both gases are exactly the same.
 
−
# Set the Pipe Gas Mixer to desired combination (34% O<sub>2</sub> + 66% H<sub>2</sub>) Note: as the combination is a floating point number, you can also enter 0.333... or 0.666... with a labeler to get a more precise mix.
 
−
# Turn on Pipe Gas Mixer
 
−
# Place an empty Gas Canister in Gas Tank Storage.
