Terrier Engine Problem ??Bug??


Recommended Posts

Good Morning, I have been playing KSP for quite a while and have not seen this before and I would like to determine if it is a bug or an issue with my assembly.

(Ship Module Description)

I created a ship which has a boost stage sufficient to orbit my Mun exploration ship.  The engines on the exploration ship are arranged as follows.  Two Rockomax X200 fuel tanks with a Poodle engine in the center.  Using four TT38K radial de-couplers I have attached four FL-T800 fuel tanks to the top X200 Fuel tank.  Following this I built down with four more FL-T800 Fuel tanks and Four Terrier engines.  This results in one poodle center engine with four terrier engines outboard.  The poodle is a final stage the terriers are staged as a group before the poodle. 

(Problem Statement)

When the four terriers are fired two of the four terriers consume fuel around four times as fast as the other two.  They still use fuel from both the FL-T800 Fuel tanks above them they just use it too quickly.  The other two terrier engines in this stage use fuel at a normal rate. (the rate I have seen them use fuel in the past)

 

Thanks for any help and suggestions you can provide!

First off, welcome to the forums! Lots of helpful and friendly people around who will help you out. 

As for your situation, I just want to get the obvious questions out of the way. You're not using any mods are you? Are you using fuel lines between any of your fuel tanks? There can be some funky fuel flow effects with multiple decouplers and fuel lines. 

Lastly, while your description is fairly good, a picture really is worth a thousand words. Please post a screenshot or two of your ship so we can take a look.
