Tec-9 | Fuel Injector

Origin Story

The Tec-9 | Fuel Injector is a high-end sidearm from The Gamma 2 Collection, released on August 19, 2016, as part of the Double Exposure update. Its design features a bright yellow body, a magazine hydrographic resembling a belt engine, and a hand-stitched leather grip. This aesthetic creates a strong visual connection to high-performance engines or race cars, aligning it with other Fuel Injector skins like the AK-47 and AWP variants. It is considered a premium Tec-9 choice for players assembling cohesive yellow or industrial-themed inventories.

Drop Chance

Tec-9 | Fuel Injector is Classified, a Pink-tier skin, rare with strong collector demand. From the Gamma 2 Case: approximately 1.07% per opening (roughly 1 in 94). The 3.2% Classified tier rate is split across 3 Classified skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.11% from the Gamma 2 Case (about 1 in 937). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($82.75): The bright yellow body and detailed engine hydrographic on the magazine are pristine with no visible wear, presenting a vivid and smooth surface.
• Minimal Wear ($18.29): The yellow paint remains highly saturated with only very light edge wear, typically visible as micro-chipping on sharp corners upon close inspection.
• Field-Tested ($15.72): Noticeable chips and scratches begin to appear on the yellow body, especially along the front and top edges, giving the weapon a more used appearance.
• Well-Worn ($14.92): Substantial chipping is present on the yellow body, revealing larger areas of exposed metal, while the engine belt on the magazine shows significant scuffing.
• Battle-Scarred ($13.97): Extensive paint loss on the yellow surfaces and heavy scratch patterns are evident, with the engine graphic appearing washed out or heavily scratched, though still discernible.

Model

Fuel Injector uses the legacy Tec-9 model, introduced with Double Exposure on August 19, 2016. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Gunsmith: The body has been painted yellow and the magazine has been given a belt engine hydrographic. A hand-stitched leather grip completes this Seattle classic. The dominant colors are bright yellow, metallic grey, and brown leather. In first-person view, the yellow upper body and engine-themed magazine are most prominent.

Sticker Compatibility

The Tec-9 | Fuel Injector's bright yellow body and metallic accents make it an excellent canvas for stickers in yellow, gold, orange, black, dark grey, or metallic tones.
