The Fuel Tender is a lightweight support car introduced in version v1.0.1 of [[Trains|TRAINS]]. It carries five times as much fuel as a diesel locomotive and automatically refuels any diesel engine directly in front of it. In the [[Trains Urban Update|Urban Update]] it received a height adjustment so it visually matches the newer diesel locomotives.

## Functionality
When placed directly behind a [[Diesel Engine (Locomotive)|Front-cab Diesel Engine]] or a [[Mid-Cab Diesel Engine (Locomotive)|Mid-cab Diesel Engine]], the Fuel Tender continuously supplies fuel to the locomotive, enabling long-distance travel without manual refilling. The tender is filled by using a [[Fuel Bucket|Diesel Fuel Bucket]] on it, and it holds five times the fuel capacity of a diesel engine. Once filled, it automatically transfers fuel to the locomotive as the train moves. The car has a weight of 'one half', making it lighter than most rolling stock and suitable for any consist.

The Fuel Tender can also be dyed with any of the sixteen Minecraft colours.

## Interaction
Players can couple the Fuel Tender behind any diesel locomotive to enable automatic refuelling. The tender’s internal storage provides fuel directly to the engine as it moves.
