To make gasoline in ARK Mobile, place 6 Oil and 5 Hide into a Refining Forge and wait 30 seconds to produce 5 Gasoline. This fuel powers generators, fabricators, and vehicles, making it essential for advanced base operations and mobility.
What you need to make gasoline in ark mobile
The exact recipe requires two materials: 6 Oil and 5 Hide. Some sources also list Fiber and Sparkpowder as required materials. You must craft or place a Refining Forge (or the faster Industrial Forge) to convert these ingredients. No other items are needed for the gasoline recipe itself.
How to get oil
Oil is harvested from oil rocks found underwater or in certain caves, typically using a pickaxe or a tamed creature like an Ankylosaurus. A Moschops can also gather oil from specific resources. Killing creatures such as Trilobites or Ammonites may also yield oil as loot, though drops are not guaranteed. Supply drops can contain oil as a reward, and oil can be obtained by trading with other players.
How to get hide
Hide is obtained by harvesting animals using a hatchet or pickaxe. Large herbivores like mammoths, brontosaurus, or stegosaurus provide substantial amounts of hide. Fiber can be gathered from structures made of thatch or wood using a pickaxe.
Crafting or placing a refining forge
To craft a Refining Forge, gather stone and wood from the environment. Open your inventory, select the crafting tab, and choose the Refining Forge from the structure category. Once built, place it on flat ground in your base. Some sources claim the Fabricator is the crafting station for gasoline, unlocked at level 50, and crafted using metal ingots, cementing paste, and crystal.
Crafting the gasoline
- Open the Refining Forge inventory.
- Place 6 Oil and 5 Hide into the forge. Some sources state the recipe requires 3 Oil and 5 Hide per unit.
- Wait 30 seconds for the process to complete.
- Collect 5 Gasoline from the forge output.
The Industrial Forge can also produce gasoline at a much faster rate than the regular Refining Forge, making it a superior alternative once unlocked. Gasoline is used to power the Chemistry Bench, Industrial Cooker, and is required to fuel the Motorboat.

Where can I find reliable mobile app guides for ARK?
For the most accurate mobile-specific details, refer to official community forums or trusted mobile app guides that focus on the ARK Mobile version, as general ARK wiki pages may not cover mobile-exclusive features.
Does the Refining Forge need fuel to make gasoline?
Ensure the forge is active (typically fueled by wood, thatch, or sparkpowder) before starting the gasoline process.
