Hi, Is there a way to tell your pit crew not to put any fuel in. Now I hit F3 and round up to the next gallon. It seems like there should be something to select like you do with the tires, but I just haven't found it. It makes sense to me that a no fuel pit option should be there. Thanks... ...Ron

After you hit the F3 button, you can only use the "<" ">" keys on your keyboard to increase or decrease the amount of fuel you desire. It will always start at 40 gallons. If you forget to change the amount of fuel you want, you will get 40 gallons. But, for example, if you have 5.85 gallons in the tank and you dont want any fuel, you can only decrease the amount of fuel they put in (using the < and > keys) to 6 gallons. Tom Smith

Does this mean that they'd give you 40 gallons even if it was only 10 to go? Phew, that'd smell.

<<<Does this mean that they'd give you 40 gallons even if it was only 10 to go? Phew, that'd smell.>>> Yes, if you forget to change the amount of fuel,,,you will automatically get 40 gallons.

So I guess there's no way of asking for NO fuel to be added! ...Ron

Ron Davidson wrote Well yes and no... ;-) If you per example have 22gallons of fuel on the lap before you pit, you can choose to fill it to 22gallons. You can't go below. But since your doing a full lap you will have probably like 21.2 gallons, or 20gals left. This means that you need to readjust when you enter the pits if you don't want fuel to be added. If you got 21.2gals you can't make the fuel lower than 22, so they will add 0.8gals of fuel. No time consuming, and it's not a "big" difference ;) Take that extra fuel "just in case" hehe. - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ on the NROS - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--
