Fuel

Fuel is a unique item needed to operate vehicles in FarmVille. Vehicles use 1 fuel unit for each plot on which they operate. A full tank of fuel is 150 units. If a Farmer does not own a vehicle, fuel cannot be placed into the farm's supply tank. When a farmer runs out of fuel, their vehicles cannot operate.

Each use of the Harvester, Tractor or Seeder vehicles operates on a 2x2 plot area (4 plots). The Hot Rod Tractor operates on a 3x3 plot area (9 plots) with each use.

One tank of fuel is represented as the orange gage along side of the fuel icon. The level will change by 1/150th increments as fuel is consumed or added. Additional full tanks are shown as a +(number) value in the green area at the bottom of the icon.

More Fuel


The user can increase his or her fuel in three ways:
 * 1) A partially filled tank will automatically regenerates at the rate of 1 Fuel for every 2.5 minutes (full 150 in 6 hours and 15 minutes). Regeneration stops when the tank reaches full capacity. A completely emptied tank will regenerate to full after several hours.
 * 2) The user can purchase fuel from the Market with Cash.png FarmVille Cash.
 * 3) Farmers can find fuel refills inside some Mystery Boxes and Mystery Eggs
 * 4) (Discontinued January 15, 2010) Fuel may be sent as a Gift in an allotment of a one-fifth tank. Gifted fuel may be sold from the gift pop up however it's value is zero coins when sold (no matter what the amount is).

Costs for Fuel

Sometimes a message appears, telling the farmer about a promotion of costs of fuel refills. Instead of normal fuel costs, they can purchase the following:


 * The discounted fuel prices shown above have not been occurred since the free fuel week event and most likely are not accurate costs.

Free Fuel Week
On 1st January, it was announced that Free Fuel Week would start on the 4th January. By visiting your farm you can share fuel with your neighbors.

At this time, fuel was also introduced as a Gift item in a one-fifth tank allotment. Following the conclusion of Free Fuel Week the fuel gift item remained available for an extra day.
