As of 0.18.2, this tank does not transfer heat effectively. Engines attached directly to it and running at full throttle (especially Mainsails) will overheat. Throttling down, or placing a fuel tank or structural component in between the engines and the Jumbo 64 fuel tank will fix this. Another workaround for this problem is to stack two [[Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank]]s in place of a Jumbo-64. Together they have exactly the same mass, fuel capacity and dimensions.

The Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank (famously known as The Big Orange Tank for its default appearance prior to version 1.4) is a liquid fuel tank containing liquid fuel and oxidizer.

It is twice the size of the Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank.

Product description

The largest tank available from Rockomax, the Jumbo-64 holds a vast amount of fuel in a friendly orange insulated container. Contrary to popular belief, the Jumbo-64 is NOT orange flavored and should NOT be tasted.

Usage

The Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank is a liquid fuel tank containing LF/O mix. This allows it to power liquid fuel rocket engines, like the RE-L10 "Poodle" Liquid Fuel Engine. If there are multiple liquid fuel tanks connected to an engine, then they will all be drained equally to power it. [1] The Jumbo-64 can be placed both in-line and radially mounted.

When full, one tank can power a single RE-L10 "Poodle" Liquid Fuel Engine for up to 439.4 seconds at full thrust, or a single RE-M3 "Mainsail" Liquid Fuel Engine for up to 64.9 seconds at full thrust.

Variants

As of version 1.4 this tank has two textures that can be switched in the editor.
