Map of all possible Fuel Container Spawn Locations
There are 23 possible fuel container spawn points in total.

Fuel containers will always spawn near or next to a green metal lantern. This makes it easier to spot them, especially when you're being pursued by insta-kill mole miners with a bad attitude.
If you panic or lose your way, remember that the Drill is always located either to the east or south, depending on the section of the tunnels you're in. Take a moment to check your HUD, find either South or East, and then head in that direction.
The first few times you run a raid, when you enter the room for Stage 2, don’t press the Drill Fuel Pump Button right away. Instead, take some time to scout the fuel storage tunnels using the directions below. Even though the fuel containers won’t appear until the button is pressed, this will help you get familiar with the layout, know where the containers will spawn, and plan your route. This way, you won’t be scrambling once the timer starts.
Doors
Indicated by yellow lines on the map, there are four doors that lead to the Fuel Storage area.
Door 1
Stand at the Start Button (Drill Fuel Pump Button) and face west, with your back to the button. Walk straight ahead, past the ramp, and stop at the first room on your left. Turn left to enter the room, and Door 1 will be immediately to your right.
Door 2
Return to the Start Button (Drill Fuel Pump Button) and face west with your back to it. Walk straight until you reach a cement wall. Veer right, and you’ll see the door directly ahead.
Door 3
From the Start Button (Drill Fuel Pump Button), face west with your back to it. Turn slightly northwest, jump over the rail, and continue forward until you reach a large red storage tank. Turn to face west and enter the room in front of you. Door 3 will be in front of you, on your right.
Door 4
From the Start Button (Drill Fuel Pump Button), face west with your back to it. Turn to face north, and you should see Door 4 ahead, across the rails, and next to the drill.
Section A
Note: This is a relatively safe section, making it ideal for the drill defender to collect the three fuel containers within the first 2 minutes and 4 seconds before the Mole Miners start increasing their damage on the drill.
A1
Head to Door 1 and stand in the doorway.
Turn right, then left, and walk straight until you reach the cart tracks.
The fuel container should spawn in the shed ahead of you, slightly to the right, on a wooden crate.
A2
From the fuel container in the shed, walk back to the cart tracks and face north.
Follow the tracks past the door on your left and the Ultracite on your left.
Stop at the white generator on your left, next to a red pole. The fuel container will spawn on the white generator.
A3
From the fuel container on the white generator, walk back to the cart tracks and face north.
Continue following the tracks past the cart until you reach the yellow track vehicle.
The fuel container will spawn on the side of the yellow track vehicle.
Section B
Note from Coffee888: Section B is an ideal area for collecting fuel containers, as there is only one Ultragenetic Mole Miner Stalker. You can easily avoid him by circling through the tunnels.
B1
Head to Door 4 and stand in the doorway.
Face north and walk straight ahead until you reach the cart tracks, then continue forward until you hit the rock wall.
Turn right and walk forward until you see a doorway on your left.
Turn left, then right, and follow the tunnel. The fuel container will spawn on one of the metal shelves in front of you.
B2
From the fuel container on the shelf, turn to face north. Walk straight until you hit the rock wall.
Turn right, and the fuel container will be on the metal shelf next to the corpse. Be cautious when grabbing this one, as the Stalker Mole Miner can corner you, resulting in an insta-kill.
B3 & B4
From the previous fuel container, turn to face west and follow the tunnel for a few steps.
You’ll see a small storage room on your right. Both fuel containers will spawn on top of the metal barrels.
Section C
Note from Coffee888: It's best to avoid the C1 fuel container spawn, as this area poses a high risk of a pincer attack with two Ultragenetic Mole Miner Stalkers potentially spawning at either end of the tunnel.
C1
Head to Door 4 and stand in the doorway.
Face north and walk forward until you reach the cart tracks, then continue straight until you hit the rock wall.
Turn right and walk forward until you see a doorway on your left.
Turn left, then left again.
Follow the tunnel straight, then turn right, left, right, left, and right.
Continue through the tunnel until you see a small room on your right.
The fuel container will spawn on the metal shelf inside.
C2
From the fuel container in the small room, exit (heading south) and turn left.
Turn left again and follow the tunnel to the end.
The fuel container will spawn on a metal shelf on the ground floor of the room in front of you.
C3
From the fuel container on the ground floor, turn west and follow the stairs up to the top floor. Alternatively, you can use a jet pack to reach the top from the outside.
The fuel container will spawn on top of the metal barrels in the southwest corner of the platform/top floor.
Section D
Note: This section can be rewarding but comes with increased risk. It's recommended to familiarize yourself with the layout before attempting it during a live run. There's an additional path and a ledge that connects Section C to Section D, which can be used to outrun or avoid the Ultragenetic Mole Miner Stalkers.
D1
Head to Door 2 and stand in the doorway.
Face west and walk straight until you reach the cart tracks, then continue forward until you hit the rock wall.
Turn right and walk forward, passing the destroyed yellow miner robot, until you see a doorway on your left.
Turn left, then turn right, and follow the tunnel straight.
Turn left and follow the tunnel into the room.
Walk forward a few steps and turn south.

The fuel container will spawn on the metal barrel in front of you, slightly to the right in the corner.

E1
Head to Door 2 and stand in the doorway.
Face west and walk straight until you reach the cart tracks, then continue forward until you hit the rock wall.
Turn right and walk forward, passing the destroyed yellow miner robot, until you see a doorway on your left.
