The FL-T500 Fuel Tank provides fuel to liquid fuel engines, like the LV-T30, attached beneath it.

Usage

The FL-T500 Fuel Tank is currently the only Liquid Fuel tank and the only way to power the LV-T30 Liquid Fuel Engine. It provides thrust for a short duration that may be extended by stacking multiple fuel tanks on top of each other. It can not be attached to radial decouplers.

With a fuel reserve of 500 units, one tank can power a single LV-T30 engine for 62 seconds on full thrust.

Description

The FL series was received as a substantial upgrade over previous fuel containers used in the Space Program, generally due to it's ability to keep the fuel unexploded more often than not. Fuel tanks are useless if there isn't a Liquid Engine attached under it. They can also be stacked with other fuel tanks to increase the amount of fuel for the engine below.
