Liquid Fuel is a fuel type commonly used by rocket engines. Liquid fuel is stored in a liquid fuel tank.

Other fuel types in the game are Jet Fuel, RCS Fuel and Solid Fuel.


Fuel Containers

Liquid fuel can be pumped from a fuel tank to another fuel tank or engine connected via an FTX-2 External Fuel Duct.
The following tanks contain Liquid Fuel.

Liquid fuel and oxidizer density are both 5 kg/unit Mass

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 The Engine Nacelle, Engine Pre-cooler, and Mk1 Diverterless Supersonic Intake are a combination of air intake and liquid fuel tank. Only the tank properties are shown. They are located in the "Aerodynamic" category in the game.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 The FAT-455 Aeroplane Main Wing, Big-S Wing Strake, and Big-S Delta Wing are a combination of lifting surface and liquid fuel tank. Only the tank properties are shown. They are located in the "Aerodynamic" category in the game.


Note that in future updates fuselages might contain Jet Fuel which might become a separate fuel type from Liquid Fuel.
