== Usage ==
 
The FL-T32 Fuel Tank is the only [[Liquid Fuel]] tank in the demo, and the only way to power the LV-series Liquid Fuel Engines. It provides thrust for a short duration that may be extended by stacking multiple fuel tanks on top of each other.
 
 
With a fuel reserve of 3200 liters, it is currently the largest fuel tank in the game
 
 
Unlike the [[Rockomax BACC Solid Fuel Booster|RT-B20 Solid Fuel Booster]], the amount of thrust can be dictated by the user, with varying severity in and out of the atmosphere of [[Kerbin]]. One can use full thrust, with a higher chance of overheat during atmospheric burning, and optimal thrust during low earth orbit, and minimal thrust for course corrections during high earth orbit.
 
 
Used correctly, an inordinate amount of fuel tanks are not necessary for orbit, as you cannot generate enough thrust in atmosphere with the liquid engine to make up for their weight.

The Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank, formerly known as FL-T32 Fuel Tank, provides fuel to attached liquid fuel engines.

Description

The FL series was received as a substantial upgrade over previous fuel containers used in the Space Program, generally due to it's ability to keep the fuel unexploded more often than not. Fuel tanks are useless if there isn't a Liquid Engine attached under it. They can also be stacked with other fuel tanks to increase the amount of fuel for the engine below.
