There are two types of fuel, solid fuel and gas mixtures. The only solid fuel available in the game right now is Coal, coal can be used to fuel the [[Solid Fuel Generator]].
In order to use gasses for fuel you need a combustible gas combined with oxygen. The only flammable gas in the game is [[Volatiles]] (labeled as H<sub>2</sub>).

== Mixing Gaseous Fuel == 
You can easily mix fuel by adding O2 and H2 to a pipe network in order to put it into canisters or pump into a furnace.
H2 can be attained by melting the [[Ice (Volatiles)]] that can be found in the world while O2 can be attained by melting the [[Ice (Oxite)]].
You can move gasses from the world atmosphere into a pipe network using a [[passive Vent]] or an [[Active Vent]].
Depending on the proportions of your gas mixture you will be able to attain a more or less efficient burn.
Be warned, though, that fuel mixtures will autoignite at 50°C.
Also, for any mixture to ignite (albeit inefficiently) it must have at least 5% Oxygen and 5% Hydrogen.

==Basic Canister Mixing Setup== 
===Parts required===
* In line pipe canister connector
* 2 [[Tank Connector]] platforms
* Pipes
* [[Pipe Gas Mixer]] valve
* Wires to connect gas mixer to power

===Setup=== 
# Place the 2 Gas connector platforms
# Connect the 2 gas connector platforms to the inputs of the gas mixer
# Connect the gas mixer output to the canister connector
# Connect the gas mixer power input to power.

===Use=== 
# Put a large bottle or scrubber filled with O2 on one platform.
# Put a large bottle or scrubber filled with H2/volatile on the other platform.
# Use a wrench to connect both to their platforms.
# Set gas mixer to desired combination (34% O2 66% H2) Note: as the combination is a floating point number, you can also enter 0.333... or 0.666... with a labeler to get a more precise mix.
# Turn on gas mixer
# Place empty canister in inline connector.
