If you open up the interaction menu on a vehicle and select the “Mechanics” option, your character will pop the hood of the car and take a loot at the vehicles’ parts. This skill makes it possible to perform different mechanical operations on your vehicle. One of the many different skills that can be leveled and used in Project Zomboid is the Mechanics skill. There is only one type of gas in the game. This gas can then be used to fill up other cars. Once you select this option you character will move over to the gas tank on the chosen vehicle and begin transferring the gas from the car into the container. You should see an option to ‘Siphon Gasoline’. To siphon a vehicle and take the gas from it’s gas tank, equip the gasoline container in the primary or secondary hand and right-click a vehicle with gas in it. Even if the other car does not switch on due to damage, you may be able to take that gasoline from it. You can add gasoline to your car straight from a gas canĪnother way to fill up your empty gas cans is by siphoning the gas from other cars. I recommend moving it straight onto your key ring so the inventory doe s not get too cluttered. If there is a key in there, double click it or drag it to your character’s inventory to take it with you. There’s a rare chance that the key will be in there. Gain entry to the car and check the loot tab and change over to the glove box icon to check it out.

You can sometimes find a key for a car inside the glove box of the vehicle. There are generally two places to find car keys near the car.

Be aware that smashing a window of the car will destroy it, meaning if you destroy the drivers window, there nothing stopping enemies from reaching into the car and biting or scratching you.

If this is the case you will have two options to get into the car either find a key for the car or break the window.

If the door is locked the player will try to grab the handle and unsuccessfully enter the car. If the door of the vehicle is unlocked then congratulations! You will have your character enter the car.
