Liquid fuel, or when used by an jet engine also called jet fuel, is a resource used to power various engines. It is commonly stored in liquid fuel tanks or fuselages. Although the name is different is shares properties of the real world fuel RP-1.

Containers

Liquid fuel can be pumped automatically from a fuel tank to another fuel tank or engine connected via an FTX-2 External Fuel Duct. Fuel ducts aren't necessary when the components are directly adjacent or stacked on top of each other. When fuel tanks are not connected, it is still possible to transfer fuel between them manually.

While fuselages contain only liquid fuel the liquid fuel tanks also contain oxidizer. The correct ration is 9 parts liquid fuel and 11 parts oxidizer and all but the Oscar-B Fuel Tank can store the resources in this ratio.

Associated engines

Jet engines need both liquid fuel and intake air to run. Liquid fuelled rocket engines run on a mixture of liquid fuel and oxidizer.
