The FL-T32 Fuel Tank is the only [[Liquid Fuel]] tank in the demo, and the only way to power the LV-series Liquid Fuel Engines. It provides thrust for a short duration that may be extended by stacking multiple fuel tanks on top of each other. As of 0.13 it can be attached to radial decouplers and the sides of other fuel tanks.

Unlike the [[RT-20 Solid Fuel Booster]], the amount of thrust can be dictated by the user, with varying severity in and out of the atmosphere of [[Kerbin]].

The Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank (previously known as the FL-T32 Fuel Tank) is a liquid fuel tank containing liquid fuel and oxidizer.

It is the largest tank in the 2.5m X200 series, twice the size of the Rockomax X200-16 Fuel Tank. However, it is half the size of the similar 2.5m Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank.

Product description

Developed after one J. Kerman complained that the fuel tanks available were 'way too small', the X200-32 holds a generous amount of fuel, for all your... fueling needs or something like that. Shut up, Rockomax hires rocket scientists, not writers.

Rockomax Conglomerate

Usage

The Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank is a liquid fuel tank containing LF/O mix. This allows it to power liquid fuel rocket engines, like the RE-L10 "Poodle" Liquid Fuel Engine. If there are multiple liquid fuel tanks connected to an engine, then they will all be drained equally to power it. [1] The X200-32 can be placed both in-line and radially mounted.

When full, one tank can power a single RE-L10 "Poodle" Liquid Fuel Engine for up to 219.7 seconds at full thrust, or a single RE-M3 "Mainsail" Liquid Fuel Engine for up to 32.4 seconds at full thrust.

Variants

As of version 1.10 this tank has three textures that can be switched in the editor.
