The Kerbodyne S3-14400 Tank is the largest tank containing 72 t of liquid fuel/oxidizer mixture. Compared to the Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank which contains 32 t it holds 2.25x the mass of fuel. It is also slightly taller.

Usage

The S3-14400 is by far the largest tank, best used for supplying the similarly wide KR-2L or KS-25x4. A single tank is approximately the maximum amount of propellant a Mainsail can usefully lift. The mass ratio (8.2) is slightly inferior to that of the smaller tanks (9).
