What's even more disturbing is that it's used in Chef foods.

No it is not.
SOLID Petro Fuel is basically good for AS.
Liquid Petro Fuel is good for CM and WS.
Class 4 Liquid Petro Fuel is for Medic ACRDMs.
Use lube oil in making your harvestors. The stats do not carry across at all.

Wouldn't if be nice to see a new structure - some sort of refining complex to take petro fuels and make them power...
hmm...

Thats a great idea. I was starting to think the same.

Correct me (again) if I am wrong here, but I have previously used Liquid Petro Fuelin the chemical slot for harvesters, It is accepted in the slot and does not have the stats, so is just as good as Lube Oil.

I have always used solar and radioactive sources of power for my harvesters. Just recently i found a great concentration of a good Liquid Petrochem Fuel near my house. I setup harvesters and began extracting the stuff. I took a small amount of it to see if my total available power # went up when i opened the Deposit Power tab, but the # did not change. So is Liquid Petrochem Fuel, or even Solid Petro Fuel (cause thats near me too), really a fuel for harvesters? Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That confused me early on, too.
While it may be "fuel," it isn't "power."
Only Wind, Solar, or Radioactive will power your harvesters.
Everything else is just a resource.

Thanks for clearin that up.Dammit they shouldchange that name. When u hear the word "Fuel", what else could people possibly think it is?
Now i gotta stop my harvesters from wastin their time. I dont think i need so much of it now.

You may be able to use the liquid petchem as a replacement for lube oil in harvester production. It can be used in the chemical slot, and as with lube oil it has none of the required attributes (HR/SR/UT) so it is not completely wasted.

My thoughts is that perhaps it will actually be used for fuel in starships... which would make abit more sence.

Old Rumor: Petro Fuel will be a necessary component to build/repair vehicles when they are released.
New Rumor: Petro Fuel will be a necessary component to build/repair starships when they are released.
Whatever the possible truth, the various fuels slipped thru the cracks along the way (possibly because refueling vehicles was deemed cumbersome) and have very little dedicated use now.
