+
It is twice the size of the [[Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank]].
Before [[0.23.5]], it was the heaviest part, when fueled, and the largest tank. Both records go the [[Kerbodyne S3-14400 Tank]] with its release. Additionally the [[LFB KR-1x2 "Twin-Boar" Liquid Fuel Engine|LFB KR-1x2]] was released in 0.23.5 which can store the same amount of fuel and provide additional engines. So even between all tanks with a large radius or smaller, the Jumbo-64 tank is not the heaviest part and shares the record of the largest tank of that radius with the LFB KR-1x2. Of the tanks introduced in 0.23.5, it's only larger than [[Kerbodyne S3-3600 Tank]] which is the smallest of the new tanks.

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.

Rockomax Conglomerate

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.
