The Kerbodyne Engine Cluster Adapter Tank is a multi-coupler adapter arranged in a quincunx. It breaks multiple records in that it has the highest capacity of all adapter-fuel tanks, most parts attachable to the split area of a multi-coupler adapter, and the largest in terms of difference between said part diameters (splitting from the 5m 'Huge' size down to five 1.25m 'Small' size nodes).
