Best Places to Get Diesel in Rust

Looking to fuel your Rust ambitions with a healthy dose of Diesel? Well, buckle up, because we're about to take a deep dive into the best places to get this precious commodity without losing your sanity (or your base). Whether you're operating the Giant Excavator or just trying to keep your Quarry running, Diesel is your ticket to the big leagues.

Where to Find Diesel in Rust:

1. Junkyard (3 Units)If you’re feeling particularly daring, the Junkyard offers up to 3 units of Diesel. It’s a decent spot if you’re already scavenging for parts, but expect a bit of resistance from your fellow Rust players who probably have the same idea. Enjoy the chaos.
2. Water Treatment Plant (3 Units)Head over to the Water Treatment Plant for another 3 units. It’s a bit of a hotspot for action, so expect to get shot at by at least 10 different groups before you even get close to the Diesel. But hey, at least you get some fuel for your trouble.
3. The Dome (2 Units)Ah, The Dome. A true fan favourite. Here you’ll find 2 units of Diesel, but you’ll probably be too busy fighting off the other players lurking around to appreciate the fuel. Still, it’s a good option if you’re in the area and can survive the inevitable shootout.
4. Power Plant (2 Units)Another location with 2 units of Diesel. The Power Plant is a bit more out of the way, but that means fewer people… right? Maybe. If you're lucky, you'll be able to grab the fuel without too much trouble.
5. Small Oil RigDiesel is available here, but the drop rate is a bit unpredictable. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a nice stash; if not, you’re just wasting your time.
6. Large Oil RigSame deal as the Small Oil Rig, but expect a bit more competition. If you’re feeling particularly brave, go for it. Otherwise, stay away unless you're well-equipped to handle the inevitable PvP madness.

Buying Diesel at the Outpost:

Don’t feel like leaving the safety of your base? No problem. You can always head to the Outpost and grab some Diesel for a cool 300 Low Grade Fuel per unit. Just don’t expect to get it for cheap. Because Rust.

Using Diesel in Rust:

Once you’ve managed to gather your Diesel (or purchased it at the Outpost), you can use it to power up your Quarry, Giant Excavator, or Pump Jack.

• The Giant Excavator is the real star of the show, running for 2 minutes per unit of Diesel and spitting out either:
  • 100 HQM
  • 2000 Sulfur Ore
  • 10,000 Stone
  • 5000 Metal Fragments
• The Pump Jack is another great option, using 1 unit of Diesel to produce:
  • 60 Crude Oil
  • 170 Low Grade Fuel

In short, Diesel makes you rich—if you survive long enough to collect the rewards.

TL;DR: Grab Diesel from places like Junkyard, Water Treatment Plant, and Outpost, then use it for the Giant Excavator or Pump Jack to rake in HQM, ore, stone, and more.
