Fuel Physics Simulator

Pick a car, pick a track, drag the fuel slider. Watch how every liter changes acceleration, braking, cornering, center of gravity, and tire grip in real time.

Nurburgring Nordschleife - Max Corner Speed at 100% fuel

The Formulas Behind the Numbers

Fuel Weight
W_fuel = V_liters x 0.745 kg/L

Gasoline density is 0.745 kg/L. A 100L tank weighs 74.5 kg full.

Acceleration
a = F / m = P_wheel / (m x v)

Less mass = more acceleration from the same power. Every kg burned increases acceleration.

Cornering Speed
v_max = sqrt(mu x g x r)

mu = grip coefficient, g = 9.81, r = corner radius. Lighter car gets higher effective mu due to tire load sensitivity.

Braking Distance
d = v2 / (2 x mu x g)

In theory mass cancels. In reality, brake fade and tire deformation add weight dependency.

Slosh Severity
S = 4 x f x (1 - f) where f = fill%

Parabola peaking at 50% fill. Half-tank = maximum slosh.

Tire Load Sensitivity
mu(F) = mu_ref x (F_ref / F)^0.1

Tires produce less grip per kg as load increases. Uneven weight distribution always reduces total grip.
