This sounds like the problem I had. The solution was to hack the track database file. Here's what I did:First I had to find the fuel pumps in the world files and then search the UID number in tdb.Change This linePickupTrItemData ( 1000 00000000 )to PickupTrItemData ( 1000 00000380 )After that they workYou may also have faulty or missing intake points in your eng file.
