Sorry, I forgot about that. This is my first time uploading a mod anywhere.

No worries, thanks for resolving it so quickly.

Is this a continuation/fork of  Porkjet's Stock Fuel Switch, or is it built from scratch?

[TesserWreck]

This is built for scratch using Interstellar Fuel Switch. I didn't realize that Porkjet made a similar mod. Either way I feel more options for the player is a good thing. I'll change the name so people don't confuse the two.

Might wanna double check the tank cfgs, I don't think you have one set up for the Orange Jumbo tank

Thanks for this config TesserWreck! I've been messing around a lot with the 1.1 pre-release and this config is exactly what I was looking for! I figured I should let you know that I ran into an odd bug immediately after I installed this config where if I was in the VAB, and I had a craft that consisted entirely of a single FL-T100 or any of the other fuel tanks, the mass readouts from Kerbal Engineer would jump between two different values. I'm not sure what exactly caused it, but I figured out how to fix the problem adding "@mass *= 0" to every .cfg so they would look like this for example:

@PART[fuelTankSmallFlat]
{
    @mass *= 0
    MODULE
    {
        name = InterstellarFuelSwitch
        resourceGui = RocketFuel;LiquidFuel;Oxidizer;Nothing
        resourceNames = LiquidFuel,Oxidizer;LiquidFuel;Oxidizer;Structural
        resourceAmounts = 45,55;100;100;0
        basePartMass = 0.0625
        tankMass = 0;0;0;0
    }
}

Once I made these changes everything worked perfectly!

 

Edit: Of course this issue could be unique to me, I have a lot of mods installed and a lot of custom .cfgs and of course 1.1 is in pre-release, but if any one else has this problem, here is a possible solution.

Any plans to update to 1.1? Porkjet's version is MIA with the loss of Kerbalstuff and there seems to be a lot of demand for a replacement.

I would strongly advice against including IFS in your mod, as it is regularly updated. It would result in people overriding their IFS with old versions, which might contain bugs that are already fixed, and new features which would no longer work if you override them.

Btw I did  a little inspection of you config files and noticed you include tankmass but always set it on 0;0;0;0  this is no nessisary. In fact with the latest version, you can also remove basePartMass as it is taken over by the mass of the part.

Unfortunately IFS is just the tool... It allows others to write a mod to make stock tanks tweakable but doesn't take that step itself. Porkjet's version is no longer available which means those of us who like to play close-to-stock have very limited options for powering our nuclear engines. Integrating stock switching directly into IFS would help a lot of people out at this juncture.
