The Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank (previously known as the FL-T32 Fuel Tank) is a liquid fuel tank containing liquid fuel and oxidizer.

It is the largest tank in the 2.5m X200 series, twice the size of the Rockomax X200-16 Fuel Tank. However, it is half the size of the similar 2.5m Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank.

Product description

Developed after one J. Kerman complained that the fuel tanks available were 'way too small', the X200-32 holds a generous amount of fuel, for all your... fueling needs or something like that. Shut up, Rockomax hires rocket scientists, not writers.

Rockomax Conglomerate

Usage

The Rockomax X200-32 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 X200-32 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 219.7 seconds at full thrust, or a single RE-M3 "Mainsail" Liquid Fuel Engine for up to 32.4 seconds at full thrust.

Variants

As of version 1.10 this tank has three textures that can be switched in the editor.
