The Rockomax Jumbo 64 Fuel Tank provides fuel to attached liquid fuel engines, and is the largest fuel tank available for now.
As of 0.18.2, this tank does not transfer heat effectively. Engines attached directly to it and running at full throttle (especially Mainsails) will overheat. Throttling down, or placing a fuel tank or structural component in between the engines and the Jumbo 64 fuel tank will fix this. Another workaround for this problem is to stack two Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tanks in place of a Jumbo-64. Together they have exactly the same mass, fuel capacity and dimensions.
