The Kerbodyne S3-14400 Tank is a extra large (3.75m) liquid fuel tank. It contains 72 t of liquid fuel/oxidizer mixture, which is 125% more compared to the Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank (which contains 32 t).
It is the largest tank available in the base game, containing twice as much fuel as the Kerbodyne S3-7200 Tank. In addition, it holds the impressive title of "heaviest stock part in the entire game."

Product description
| “ | When nobody believed in (or even asked for) an even larger fuel tank than the already enormous S3-7200, Kerbodyne stepped up with the sanity-defying S3-14400 model. Carrying fully twice as much fuel as before, this fuel tank may just pack enough propellant to justify its proportionately enormous cost. — Kerbodyne |

Usage
The S3-14400 is by far the largest tank, best used for supplying the similarly wide Kerbodyne KR-2L+ "Rhino" Liquid Fuel Engine or S3 KS-25x4 "Mammoth" Liquid Fuel Engine. A single tank is approximately the maximum amount of propellant a RE-M3 "Mainsail" Liquid Engine can usefully lift.
When full, one tank can power a Kerbodyne KR-2L+ "Rhino" Liquid Fuel Engine for 120.0 seconds, or a S3 KS-25x4 "Mammoth" Liquid Fuel Engine for 55.6 seconds, while at full thrust.
The S3-3600, S3-7200, and S3-14400 all have the same radius, mass ratio, and cost ratio. This means that the S3-14400 is interchangeable with two stacked S3-7200 tanks or four stacked S3-3600 tanks. However, as a single part, the S3-14400 is more structurally stable than a stack of the smaller tanks.
Trivia
- The product description describes the Kerbodyne S3-7200 Tank as Kerbodyne's signature fuel tank. Prior to version 1.0, the Kerbodyne S3-14400 Tank was described as Kerbodyne's "signature" tank, and this description was used instead:
| “ | Kerbodyne's signature super heavy fuel tank. Designed to be used with their advanced rocket engines. — Kerbodyne |
