The FL-R25 RCS Fuel Tank stores monopropellant for a spaceship's RCS.
Contents
Usage
The fuel tank provides fuel for all RCS thrusters of the ship. There is no need to place the thrusters directly on the tank. If there are several RCS fuel tanks the lowest will be used first to avoid jettisoning full tanks while preserving empty ones. Similarly, RCS tanks are emptied radially from the outside in. Within a stage, radial position takes precedence over vertical.
Description
| “ | These fuel tanks monopropellant for RCS thrusters. New advances in plumbing technology made it possible to route RCS lines to any point in the ship. So unlike liquid fuel tanks, RCS Fuel tanks can be placed anywhere. — Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spaceship Parts Co. |

Comparison
Somewhat counter-intuitively, two FL-R10 RCS Fuel Tank contain the same amount of monopropellant as a single FL-R25, yet save 0.05 units of dry mass. The smaller tanks can also be placed radially, making them the better choice for nearly all applications.
Changes
- Capacity increased to 100, description changed.
- Retextured, capacity decreased to 25
- Due to part rebalancing, mass reduced from 0.9 to 0.5, empty mass from 0.15 to 0.1, fuel units from 250 to 200 (This does make the name slightly less meaningful)
- RCS Fuel Tanks now drain symmetrically if placed using symmetry.
- Part introduced
