The FL-T32 Fuel Tank provides fuel to liquid fuel engines, like the LV-T30, attached beneath it.
Usage
The FL-T32 Fuel Tank is the only Liquid Fuel tank in the demo, and the only way to power the LV-series Liquid Fuel Engines. It provides thrust for a short duration that may be extended by stacking multiple fuel tanks on top of each other.
With a fuel reserve of 3200 units, one tank can power a single LV-T30 engine for ??? seconds on full thrust.
Unlike the RT-B20 Solid Fuel Booster, the amount of thrust can be dictated by the user, with varying severity in and out of the atmosphere of Kerbin. One can use full thrust, with a higher chance of overheat during atmospheric burning, and optimal thrust during low earth orbit, and minimal thrust for course corrections during high earth orbit.
Used correctly, an inordinate amount of fuel tanks are not necessary for orbit, as you cannot generate enough thrust in atmosphere with the liquid engine to make up for their weight.
Description
| “ | The FL series was received as a substantial upgrade over previous fuel containers used in the Space Program, generally due to it's ability to keep the fuel unexploded more often than not. Fuel tanks are useless if there isn't a Liquid Engine attached under it. They can also be stacked with other fuel tanks to increase the amount of fuel for the engine below. — Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spaceship Parts Co. |
