As of {{Check version|0.21.1}}, this tank does not transfer heat effectively. Engines attached directly to it and running at full throttle (especially [[Mainsail]]s or [[LV-N]]s) will overheat. Throttling down, or placing a fuel tank (such as the [[Rockomax X200-8 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, drag and dimensions but different part count which might impact on the performance of the game.

The Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank provides fuel to attached liquid fuel engines, and is the largest liquid fuel tank available for now.

As of 0.21.1[outdated], this tank does not transfer heat effectively. Engines attached directly to it and running at full throttle (especially Mainsails or LV-Ns) will overheat. Throttling down, or placing a fuel tank (such as the Rockomax X200-8 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 Tanks in place of a Jumbo-64. Together they have exactly the same mass, fuel capacity, drag and dimensions but different part count which might impact on the performance of the game.

There is a "01" label near the top lip of the fuel tank.

That's how many fuel tanks can SAFELY go on the same craft.

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.
