Liquid fuel

Liquid Fuel is a resource used to power various engines. It is commonly stored in a liquid fuel tank.

Fuel Containers

Liquid fuel can be pumped from a fuel tank to another fuel tank or engine connected via an FTX-2 External Fuel Duct.
The following fuselages contain Liquid Fuel only.
