At A Glance
People search how to refuel 594cc i2 in Apocalypter because a small-displacement engine is a common early find — not because SawyerK shipped a unique 594cc minigame. This page is the fuel and engine loop for Steam App 4146760 (SawyerK Games): gas vs diesel, cans into tanks, radiator water vs fuel, overheat, and why a named 594cc i2 still drinks like any other spark engine until a patch says otherwise. Verified September 29, 2026. Steam.
Steam hotfixes Sep 26 and Sep 28, 2026 (save compatible; some fixes need new items / new game). Superchargers on V8/V12 appear in the Sep 26 hotfix notes — that is not a 594cc i2 supercharger tutorial.

How do I refuel a 594cc i2 in Apocalypter?
How to refuel 594cc i2 in Apocalypter in one sentence: put the correct fuel into the tank of the car that engine is installed on, using the same world cans and interact prompt every other gasoline engine uses. This wiki will not invent a 594cc-specific hose, a hidden i2 pump station, or a unique “594cc refill” key. If your HUD label says 594cc, i2, or a local name, you are still doing tank + can.
- Do01Confirm the 594cc i2 (or whatever the live name is) is actually installed — refueling an empty bay does nothing
- Do02Confirm fuel type: spark-ignition vs diesel before you pour
- Do03Find loose fuel in buildings, wrecks, or camps (community: some coyote camps have fuel)
- Do04Interact the can with the vehicle fuel fill — watch the gauge, not a YouTuber overlay
- Do05Stash a spare can in a roof crate so the next basin is not a walk
- Do06Do not pour fuel into the radiator
Why the keyword exists
Search volume landed on a specific displacement. Early cars often wear small inline-twos; players stall and assume the engine is “broken” instead of empty. The fix is logistics: cans, tank, type. If 1.0 renamed the part, still follow the gauge.
Place the engine with the part adjuster so the fill neck is reachable. An engine clipped through a fender can make the interact feel “missing.” That is packaging, not a 594cc puzzle.
If you cannot find the fill
Walk around the body: rear quarter, side, bed. Procedural wrecks hide caps. Holster (0) so the prompt is not covered by a gun. If the car is dry and you have no cans, you do not have an engine problem — you have a loot problem. Hunt wrecks on vehicles.
Merchants sell “various items” with random stock. A fuel can may appear; save-reroll is a community tactic, not a promise. Trading.
Seat it with the part adjuster

What changes between gas and diesel engines?
Official: gas and diesel variants; install better engines. Community: diesel options include inline-3 and a 3.0L inline-5 with claimed 172 Nm / 87 hp — unverified numbers. Diesel vs gas matters for which cans you keep, not for a second refuel minigame.
| Type | What we can say | What we will not invent |
|---|---|---|
| Gasoline (incl. small i2 / 594cc searches) | Spark engines drink petrol cans | Exact L/100km or a 594cc-only pump |
| Diesel i3 / i5 (community) | Separate fuel class if the HUD says diesel | That 87 hp is a patch-proof spec |
| V6 / I4 (community) | Different gearboxes claimed (4-speed vs 5-speed) — unverified | Shift-point charts |
| V8 / V12 + supercharger (hotfix) | Sep 26 news: superchargers on V8/V12 | A 594cc supercharger kit |
Do not mix cans “to see”
If a diesel body is your only runner, petrol in the tank is how you learn the hard way. Keep types in labeled crates if the UI does not color-code. When unsure, read the installed engine tooltip in your build of 1.0.
Towing a dry diesel home with a gas hatch is a valid any-part world — just plan two fuel stocks.
Power is not the first-hour metric
Community DPS on guns is unverified; engine “best” lists are worse. A cool 594cc that you can refuel beats a claimed 87 hp brick you cannot feed. Upgrade when heat and hills demand it, not when a thumbnail ranks engines.
Oil, radiator water, and overheating — what do I watch?
Official customization copy: install better suspension, engine, radiator; oil and water in the radiator are called out in community maintenance notes. Treat radiator water as cooling, fuel as energy. Mixing them is the classic strand.
| Resource | Goes where | Empty means |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel (gas or diesel) | Tank feeding the engine | Stall, no restart |
| Radiator water | Cooling loop | Heat spike, possible part damage (community) |
| Oil | Engine lubrication (watch the gauge if present) | Heat / damage risk — verify 1.0 |
| Repair kits | Damaged parts (community sizes 2/5/8 — meaning TBA) | Cannot patch a missing block |
Heat is a packaging problem too
A legal any-car install can bury the radiator. Use the part adjuster so the core sees air. A 594cc i2 will still overheat if you roof-stack crates over the only intake. Car customization.
Community: wheels wear. Do not diagnose “need a new engine” when you need tires.
Gauges you may see
Community dash list: RPM, speed, oil temp, coolant temp, fuel level. If your 1.0 cluster differs, trust the live HUD. This page will not invent redline numbers.
Which engine families show up in community notes?
Use this as a search legend, not a Steam database dump. Official text does not publish a complete engine table.
| Name (community / search) | Status | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | Community | Early runner |
| 594cc i2 / inline-2 | Search + community gearbox notes | Refuel like any gas engine |
| Inline-4 gas | Community: shorter life claimed | Unverified durability |
| V6 | Community; 5-speed claimed | Unverified |
| Inline-3 diesel | Community | Diesel cans |
| 3.0L inline-5 diesel | Community 172 Nm / 87 hp | Re-dyno in 1.0 before you believe it |
| V8 / V12 | Hotfix: superchargers | Late packaging + fuel burn |
Transmission claims
Players said inline-2/inline-4 pair with a 4-speed and V6 with a 5-speed. Mark unverified. You still refuel the tank, not the gearbox.
Radiator community sizes: small and medium. Match volume to heat, not to the engine’s nickname.
Parts around the engine
Suspension, tires (community: semi-slick, UTC, basics), lights, firewalls, seats — all install-anywhere. None of them replace fuel. When the catalog overwhelms you, return to cans and water.
What fuel mistakes strand you in the desert?
Stranding is almost always logistics or type, not a missing 594cc easter egg.
| Mistake | Result | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Wait for a 594cc-only pump | You never leave the wreck | Use generic cans on the car tank |
| Fuel in the radiator | Overheat with a “full” tank | Water in rad, fuel in tank |
| Diesel cans in a gas i2 | No go or damage — do not test on your only car | Read the engine type |
| No spare can on the roof | Dry 2 km out | Crate a backup |
| Buried fill neck | Interact never appears | Part adjuster pose |
| Demo engine as gospel | Wrong capacity habits | 1.0 gauges |
The desert does not care about displacement
A 594cc i2 that you can refuel and cool will outrun a trophy bumper with an empty tank. Keep survival water in the same trip as fuel so the driver does not die next to a full tank.
Next: hang the engine honestly, then go find another body if this one cannot take a bigger radiator.
What next
Next: seat the engine and move exhaust with the part adjuster.
Need cans and a merchant? Trading. Need a different frame? Vehicles.
FAQ
Is 594cc i2 official?
It is a high-intent search string and fits community inline-2 talk. Trust your 1.0 part name if it differs.
Gas or diesel?
Both exist as engine classes. Match cans to the installed engine. Community diesel specs are unverified.
Why is my engine hot after refuel?
Fuel is not coolant. Top up radiator water, check radiator pose, reduce load. Overheat damage is a community warning — verify in your build.
