The Mk3 Rocket Fuel Fuselage Short is a Mk3 fuselage containing liquid fuel and oxidizer mixture.
It is the small size Mk3 rocket fuel tank, half the size of the Mk3 Rocket Fuel Fuselage. The similar Mk3 Liquid Fuel Fuselage Short carries the same amount of propellant, but in liquid fuel only.

Usage
The Mk3 Rocket Fuel Fuselage Short is a rocket fuel tank containing liquid fuel and oxidizer. It can be used to power liquid fuel rocket engines, like the RE-L10 "Poodle" Liquid Fuel Engine. It is mainly used for spaceplanes. For rockets, the Kerbodyne S3 3.75m tanks (like the Kerbodyne S3-7200 Tank) are better; the Mk3 fuselages not only have a worse mass ratio, but they also hold much less fuel (only about half of the S3 tanks) in the same length of fuel tank.
As an aircraft fuselage, it comes with two flat sides, which work well as attachment points for wings, fins, and landing gear. However, like other Mk2 and Mk3 parts, its mass ratio (8) is inferior to that of normal liquid fuel tanks (9), reducing delta-V.
When full, one tank can power a single RE-L10 "Poodle" Liquid Fuel Engine for up to 171.6 seconds at full thrust, or a single closed-cycle CR-7 R.A.P.I.E.R. Engine for up to 207.7 seconds at full thrust.
Like many Mk3 parts, it has a high heat tolerance of 2700K to assist in spaceplane reentry.
