7. Gasoline

As long as you have a siphon of some kind, you could use leftover gasoline for your own vehicle. Gas could also be used to get a fire going, as long as you’re very careful. Don’t puncture a fuel tank for gas as even a small spark is enough to make a gas tank explode, even if very little fuel is present.

It cannot be emphasized enough that before you scavenge a vehicle, you must ensure it is truly abandoned.

You also have to understand that if you take a vehicle apart or remove items from it when the survival crisis passes, you may be held liable.

With that said, a vehicle is a repository of survival potential if you know where to look and how to use the items you find; to see a larger list of vehicle survival items, please visit the Urban Survival Site.
