Fuel keeps every trip in My Winter Car alive, and the game treats the process with enough quirks that your first refill can feel confusing. The station works differently than the one in My Summer Car, so you need to understand a few details before the tank fills. Once you know the path, you refuel anywhere in the snow without delay.

Where to Find Fuel in My Winter Car

You find real working pumps only at PSK Peräportti, the station near the highway exit by the construction site. The pumps at the pub may look familiar, but they do not function. From your apartment, drive toward the pub, turn left, and continue straight until the PSK sign comes into view.

Set Your Card PIN Before You Pump Anything

The station links all payments to a PIN you create inside the PSK store.

Walk to the ATM, insert your card, and type a four-digit code you will remember. The first code you enter becomes your permanent PIN for pumps and purchases.

Take your card and head back outside. You are now able to pay for fuel.

How to Pay at the Pump

The pump expects payment before you pick up the nozzle. Follow the steps in order or the system will refuse to activate.

Insert your card into the blue payment panel.
Select the amount you want to spend. This sets your fueling limit.
Enter your PIN.
Remove the card when the screen confirms your input.
Choose the pump on the same side as your car.

After payment, the pump gives you a short window to start fueling. If you wait too long, the panel resets, and you repeat the payment step.

How to Refuel the Sorbett

Stand by the fuel door on the right side of the car.

Open the small flap.
Unscrew the cap with the mouse wheel.
Grab the green nozzle from the pump you selected.
Hold the left mouse button while the nozzle sits in the filler hole.

Keep holding until the tank fills or you hit your paid limit. Releasing the button stops the flow instantly, so stay steady.

Place the nozzle back once your tank reaches the level you want.

If Fuel Will Not Flow

The game blocks the process for a few simple reasons:

You skipped the payment panel

The pump never turns on until you confirm your limit and PIN.

You chose the wrong pump

Only the entrance pumps work right now.

The fuel cap is still on

The game treats it like a sealed tank.

You moved too far from the pump after payment

The connection drops and you must pay again, though the game does not charge twice.

Linux players have reported interaction bugs. If the nozzle refuses to respond, repeat the payment sequence to refresh the pump.

Keep the Engine Warm

Cold hits quickly in My Winter Car. If you shut off the engine for too long, you may struggle to start it again. Keep the choke ready if the motor cools down, or simply leave the engine running during short refueling stops.
