How to Finish the Septic Pumping Job in My Winter Car

If you need quick cash in My Winter Car, the septic pumping job becomes one of the most reliable ways to earn it. The work feels messy, but the process stays simple once you understand how the Gifu works and how each step fits together. You also gain access to a vehicle that many players never touch until they need money fast. This guide walks you through the entire job from the first phone call to the moment you dump the waste at the treatment plant. You complete the job without confusion, bugs, or wasted fuel.

Start the Job When the Call Arrives

The septic job begins the moment a homeowner rings you and begs for help with a full sewage well. The call comes at random, so you only need to wait for it and answer it. Let the caller finish the conversation. If you hang up too early, the request fails and nothing appears on the map. When the dialogue ends, you gain a new location marker that points to the tank that needs pumping.

This marker guides you to the property, and your next step is simple. Get the Gifu.

Prepare the Gifu Before You Leave

The Gifu sits at the sewage plant in Perรคjรคrvi. You own the keys from the start, but the truck demands a little warm up. Cycle the glow plugs. Let the heater work. Drivers who rush often struggle to start it, and that wastes time when the call already waits.

Once the engine runs smoothly, follow the map marker to the client. Keep a short stopping distance in mind. You want the front of the Gifu near the septic tank, not directly on top of it. Two or three meters gives you enough space to work with the hose.

Set Up the Septic Tank for Pumping

When you arrive, look for a square grey lid on the ground. That lid covers the tank. Lift it and place it aside. Walk to the rear side of the Gifu and grab the hose. Feed it fully into the opening until you feel it rest against the tank floor. A shallow placement sometimes triggers bugs where the pump refuses to start, so push it in completely.

When the hose sits in place, head back into the cabin. Even if you accidentally drop the hose into the tank, you can return to the last saved game and get to the task again.

Start the Pump and Watch the Tank Empty

You trigger the cleaning process inside the truck. Turn on the hydraulics. Adjust the hand throttle or give the engine a little rev to support the suction. If your character coughs at the smell, the pump works correctly. Some players recommend switching the pump on before putting the hose in to avoid a common bug. If the waste level doesnโ€™t move, pull the hose partway out while the pump runs. This resets the suction flow and fixes the issue almost every time.

Stay in the area until the homeowner speaks to you. When they let you know the job is complete, the tank is empty.

Secure the Hose and Collect Your Payment

Walk back to the septic tank and remove the hose. Coil it back onto the Gifu. If the hose falls into the tank, reload your save because fishing it out by hand rarely works.

Speak to the homeowner or look for the marked payment spot. You receive 1200 mk for every tank you clean, which makes this one of the most profitable early jobs.

Dispose of Waste at the Treatment Plant

The Gifu holds ten thousand liters of sewage, which equals four homes on average. When the tank fills, drive back to the Wastewater Treatment Plant in Perรคjรคrvi during operating hours. The plant stays open Monday through Friday from 08:00 to 16:00. Dumping waste outside that facility triggers a fine, so always unload there.

You pay a small fee per liter, but the profit still outweighs the cost by a large margin.

Is the Septic Tank Emptying Job Worth Taking?

The septic job offers repeatable income and teaches you how to control one of the heaviest vehicles in the game. It also runs without the risk of being fired, so you can treat it as a steady fallback whenever money feels tight.

Once you finish a few jobs, the process becomes second nature. The Gifu becomes another familiar tool in your routine, and the money you earn opens the way for upgrades, repairs, and long term goals.
