empty fuel tanks and my spacedock

[nacoleptic]

hi,

i'd like to ask, if it seems to be possible creating an empty or almost empty (rcs)fuel tank, only by editing the cfg.

empty for example like, it is possible to refill it from other vessels by the fruel transfer mod.

my idea is, using this tank to place it below the cargo module and refiling it via the fuel-transfer part from my Kethane mine powered gas-station. after this i could use the "deliver cargo" function, to pack the fuel back into the spacedock.

i know it's possible to drill for fuel by the drilling-unit, but it would be great (and nice to watch) using my kethane farm for something actualy usefull.

also neccecary for the effect would be for the space-dock to recognize the used fuel by its actual level not by its possible volume, but this is even more impossible to me, to find out without learning by doing.

Not sure if it can be done in the stock RCS, but there are various mods (including the MuMech variable engine stuff, I believe) that have separate "max fuel" and "starting fuel" values in the .cfg files.

nice, after the new solar-mining-plugin was shown, i felt like i realy have to try this... using the drilling unit is to easy, for using it permanent.

sadly i found none of the tanks you mentioned, only hint for "maxfuel"was a post about an fuel-refill-bug, "startingfuel" was written zero times around the internet, except your post. maby you can give me a clue which tank you thought about...
