'''Oxidizer''' is a [[resource]] that fuels [[liquid fuel]]led [[rocket engine]]s. An [[liquid fuel engine]] burns 11 parts oxidizer for every 9 parts liquid fuel. It was newly added with 0.18 and is prohibiting rocket engine to be fuelled by jet fuselages alone. It is stored in [[liquid fuel tank]]s together with the usually correct amount of liquid fuel. Planes using [[jet engine]]s don't need oxidizer, because the [[intake air]] is the substitution for the oxidizer, but [[air intake]]s work on [[Kerbin]] and [[Laythe]].

Oxidizer is a resource that fuels liquid fuelled rocket engines. A liquid fuel engine burns 11 units of oxidizer per 9 units of liquid fuel. It was added with version 0.18, prohibiting rocket engines being fuelled by jet fuselages alone.

It is stored in rocket fuel tanks together with the usually correct amount of liquid fuel. During construction in the VAB or SPH, the amount of oxidizer and liquid fuel in a tank can be altered independently of each other. Oxidizer can also be transferred between tanks independently of transferring liquid fuel, so ratios can be thrown off if not done carefully.

Since 1.9, oxidizer can also be drained from tanks using the FTE-1 Drain Valve.

Planes using jet engines don't need, and can't, use oxidizer as they are made to use intake air instead. Note that only Kerbin and Laythe have oxygenated atmospheres, which is necessary for the jet engines to function.
