The '''FL-T800 Fuel Tank''' is the largest size 1 (1.25 m diameter) [[liquid fuel tank]], at 3.05 m tall. As per the name, it contains 800 units of propellant for [[liquid fuel engine]]s. Aside from the different dimensions and weaker connections, this tank is identical to the [[Rockomax X200-8 Fuel Tank|X200-8]]. It is slightly cheaper to use a FL-T800 in place of the equivalent mass of FL-T100/200/400 tanks, though performance is identical.

== Product description ==
The FL-T800 Fuel Tank is the only [[Liquid Fuel]] tank in the demo, and the only way to power the LV-series Liquid Fuel Engines. It provides thrust for a short duration that may be extended by stacking multiple fuel tanks on top of each other. Since 0.13 it can be attached to radial decouplers and the sides of other fuel tanks.  Since 0.15, fuel will flow between radially attached tanks without fuel lines.

Unlike the [[RT-10 Solid Fuel Booster]], the amount of thrust can be dictated by the user, with varying severity in and out of the atmosphere of [[Kerbin]]. One can use full thrust, with a higher chance of overheat during atmospheric burning, and optimal thrust during low earth orbit, and minimal thrust for course corrections during high earth orbit.

Used correctly, an inordinate amount of fuel tanks are not necessary for orbit, as you cannot generate enough thrust in atmosphere with the liquid engine to make up for their weight.

{{Quote|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.

The FL-T800 Fuel Tank is the largest size 1 (1.25 m diameter) liquid fuel tank, at 3.05 m tall. As per the name, it contains 800 units of propellant for liquid fuel engines. Aside from the different dimensions and weaker connections, this tank is identical to the X200-8.

Product description

A stretched variant of the FL-T400, the FL-T800 holds twice the fuel in a slightly stronger container. The black stripes along the side make the rocket go faster, our engineers tell us.
