How to Fill Your Car With Gas in My Winter Car

By newsgame


Filling up your car with gas in My Winter Car is naturally one of the most important tasks, as without fuel, you can’t make it to the nearest garage, shops, or home. It also happens to be rather tricky, with players required to unscrew the fuel cap and manage to work a Finnish petrol pump, most likely without understanding the language. This guide will walk players through each step of refueling in My Winter Car.​

How the Problem Bar Works in My Winter Car

The Problem Bar is a tricky new mechanic in My Winter Car. Here’s how it works and how you can fix it.

Your car’s fuel level can be seen on the dashboard to the right of the speedometer. If it’s to the left near the red line, it’s low on gas.

Where To Find A Gas Station In My Winter Car

My Winter Car - PSK Supermarket & Gas Station

To find the gas station in My Winter Car, head right from the player’s apartment once you’ve defrosted the car and gotten the engine going. Keep driving on this road around the bend, but at the four-way junction, turn left. Eventually, you’ll see Pub Nappo on the right. Carry on and across the main road is a large orange supermarket, which has gas pumps in the car park. The shop’s name is PSK.

There are gas pumps at Pub Nappo and possibly other locations, but these aren’t functional at launch.

My Winter Car - Gas Pump - Park Next To

Once at the supermarket, park your car next to the gas pump closest to the shop, so that the right side of the car is next to them. Get out and open the fuel flap at the back right by using LMB. Then, scroll down with the Scroll Wheel to unscrew the cap. With the car ready to be refueled, players can now use the machine.

Make sure you do this before getting the fuel nozzle, as you cannot undo the fuel cap with the nozzle in hand.

Only the gas pump closest to the shop works currently, but either side of it can be used.

Paying For Fuel With A Card

If players have set their card up with a PIN using the ATM inside the store, then they can use it to pay for fuel.

The PIN will also be set by using it here, but be careful to remember it, as the first PIN you type will be saved.

At the machine, insert your card, then select the maximum amount of money you wish to spend, for example, 50 or 1200 MK. Use the buttons on either side of the screen, as it is not a touchscreen, with the game being set in 1999.

Now it will ask you to enter your four-digit PIN, and once done, press the green button.

If that is correct, you can pick up your card, and it will ask you to choose a side, 1 or 2, depending on whether you’re on the left or right of the gas pump. It will then say you have 2 minutes to fill your car, up to the maximum cost you chose earlier.

Paying For Fuel With Cash

My Winter Car - Gas Pump - Insert Bill

Paying with cash is even simpler. Enter a 100 MK bill lower in the machine, and then, when this has been accepted, click the bottom right button. This says “ALOITA”, which means start.

Players will then need to choose which pump they are at, left or right, and then they will have 2 minutes to fill their car up, spending a maximum of 100 MK.

When inserting the bill, it might say “VIRHE”; this means error. Try inserting the bill again.

It doesn’t seem like you can get change if you don’t use up all 100 MK, so it’s better to use your card.

Filling The Car

Once you’ve been given 2 minutes to fill the car, click on the green nozzle to pick it up, and then hover over the fuel filler neck in your car and hold down with LMB.

The white bar should go up, and you can turn around to see how much money you’ve spent so far. The top number is the amount spent, and the bottom number is the amount of fuel put in.

After filling the car and putting the nozzle down, make sure to screw the fuel cap back on with the Scroll Wheel and shut the flap.

If you put the nozzle down, you cannot pick it or another one up again. You will have to start again.

Which Fuel To Use In My Winter Car?

  • The starter Sorbet car uses petrol, not diesel, so players should use the green nozzle, marked 98.
  • However, other cars in the game may use diesel, which is the black nozzle, marked D.
  • The red nozzle, MPO, seems to be for industrial vehicles, such as tractors.
