What is this?
The refuel/release system allows the user to refuel his vehicle with hydrogen in one click, mainly used on some of my models like Le Mans Prototypes, Formula E and other cars to quickly refuel without error.
Link to a refuel station - connector, advanced rotor or hinges?
The following blocks can be used to link the hydrogen tanks of the ship to a refuel station:
  • Connector: a classic 3x3x2 block.
  • Advanced rotor: can still be attached to the station if no more power. Same size of the connector.
  • Hinge: a 1x1x1 block equivalent of the advanced rotor.
Setup
In order, your vehicle must have, at least:
  • 1 connector linked to a grouped small hydrogen tanks.
  • 2 timer blocks renamed "<whateveryouwant> Refuel" and "<whateveryouwant> Release", in a group named "Refuel/Release"

Then, follow the indications on the following picture:
