The Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank (famously known as The Big Orange Tank for its default appearance prior to version 1.4) is a liquid fuel tank containing liquid fuel and oxidizer.
It is twice the size of the Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank.

Usage
The Rockomax Jumbo-64 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 Jumbo-64 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 439.4 seconds at full thrust, or a single RE-M3 "Mainsail" Liquid Fuel Engine for up to 64.9 seconds at full thrust.
Variants
As of version 1.4 this tank has two textures that can be switched in the editor.
The different variants of the fuel tank
Trivia
- The appearance of the tank, including the old default rust-like orange colour, is inspired by the Space Shuttle external tank. However, unlike the real life counterpart containing liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, the Jumbo-64 contains the unspecified liquid fuel and oxidizer.
- Upon its release in version 0.18, the Jumbo-64 was the largest fuel tank, and the heaviest part. When version 0.23.5 was released, the Jumbo-64 lost these titles, with the Kerbodyne S3-14400 Tank, Kerbodyne S3-7200 Tank, and even the LFB KR-1x2 "Twin-Boar" Liquid Fuel Engine having a larger mass and storing at least as much fuel.
Changes
- New model
- Added color variants
- Initial release
- ↑ This assumes that the flow priority setting has not been adjusted.
