It is located in the Matrix CAW manual on page 58. TG Refuel: Every TG in the game consumes fuel, except TGs assigned a fuelling mission who are assumed to have sufficient to meet any needs. Fuel usage is very dependent upon steaming speed. In general, TGs steaming at 15kts use 1 fuel unit per day. TGs at 30+ knots use about 8 units of fuel per day. The TG is given a minimum fuel level which will trigger the Refueling action. The TG will head for the first fuelling source listed and begin refueling. If the first fuelling source is not available then the second will be used and so on. Once refueling begins, it continues until the nominated maximum fuel value is reached. In daylight, the refueling task adds four days endurance for every hour spent with the fuelling mission TG. Refueling at night takes four times as long. During the refueling procedure it is possible that the refueling TG will respond to a reaction. If this reaction directs the TG to break off refueling and so something else, it will resume refueling until the minimum fuel value is once again reached. From the CCAW and CAW2 manuals under Other Game Elements / Fueling Target the fueling task group using the Friendly TG button in the Task Group Move screen. The refueling task group will move to the fueling TG and when it reaches the same hex, fueling will automatically start. For every 15 minutes that the 2 TG spend together, one days endurance will be added to the TG taking fuel. You must use the Friendly TG button to rendezvous the TG. Just putting them in the same hex is not enough. Any ship in port will automatically refuel.
