The Oscar-B's mass ratio (5.245) is slightly worse than that of the Round-8 (5.44), and significantly worse than an FL-T or Rockomaxx tank (9). Additionally the liquid fuel volume is about 0.0077 units short thus the ratio between oxidizer and liquid fuel is not exactly matched. Also, it cannot be attached radially.

Despite its vastly smaller size, the Oscar-B has the same mass ratio and attachment properties as the FL-T, Rockomax, and Kerbodyne tanks, making it suitable in most-any case where marginally more propellant is required.

The Oscar-B Fuel Tank provides fuel to attached liquid fuel engines.

It is currently the second smallest liquid fuel tank in the game, containing enough fuel to run the tiny LV-1 at full throttle for 307.7 seconds. It carries 74% of the capacity of the next largest fuel tank (the R-4 'Dumpling' External Tank) and 20% of the capacity of the FL-T200 Fuel Tank.

Despite its vastly smaller size, the Oscar-B has the same mass ratio and attachment properties as the FL-T, Rockomax, and Kerbodyne tanks, making it suitable in most-any case where marginally more propellant is required.
