The Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank (famously known as The Big Orange Tank for its default appearance prior to version 1.4) is a liquid fuel tank containing liquid fuel and oxidizer.
It is twice the size of the Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank.
Product description

Usage
The Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank is a liquid fuel tank containing LF/O mix. This allows it to power liquid fuel rocket engines, like the RE-L10 "Poodle" Liquid Fuel Engine. If there are multiple liquid fuel tanks connected to an engine, then they will all be drained equally to power it. [1] The Jumbo-64 can be placed both in-line and radially mounted.
When full, one tank can power a single RE-L10 "Poodle" Liquid Fuel Engine for up to 439.4 seconds at full thrust, or a single RE-M3 "Mainsail" Liquid Fuel Engine for up to 64.9 seconds at full thrust.
Variants
As of version 1.4 this tank has two textures that can be switched in the editor.
Trivia
- The appearance of the tank, including the old default rust-like orange colour, is inspired by the Space Shuttle external tank. However, unlike the real life counterpart containing liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, the Jumbo-64 contains the unspecified liquid fuel and oxidizer.
- Upon its release in version 0.18, the Jumbo-64 was the largest fuel tank, and the heaviest part. When version 0.23.5 was released, the Jumbo-64 lost these titles, with the Kerbodyne S3-14400 Tank, Kerbodyne S3-7200 Tank, and even the LFB KR-1x2 "Twin-Boar" Liquid Fuel Engine having a larger mass and storing at least as much fuel.
