How much Kethane is equivalent to Fuel/MonoPropellant?

[lyndonguitar]

The code says

{
    name = KethaneConverter
    TargetResource = LiquidFuel
    ConversionEfficiency = 0.99
    KethaneConsumption = 13.5
    PowerConsumption = 12
    HeatProduction = 600
}

How do you actually compute the conversion? is 13.5 Kethane = 1 Liquid Fuel? how about the Efficiency? what does that mean?

The reason I'm asking is because I am trying to get the best fuel consumption/kethane gain design ratio, I tried to make Mining ships, mining kethane and then transporting them but to an orbital refinery, however I end up losing fuel than gaining

The most efficient way to do it is to Only fly the refined fuels up to orbit. Mine it, refine it, move it to your tanker as fuel not kethane then fly it to orbit and refuel whatever it is you need to refuel.

The exception may be if you are using the kethane powered engines, and don't plan on converting it at all. They have extremely low ISP and you will 100% certainly get a better ISP by carrying a converter and an LVN instead of it..

Well I need pure kethane because I edited it a bit to convert it to spare parts(for the Orbital Construction Mod), so I can produce ships at the station itself.

Still a good idea, I still need fuel. I will just build two variants, the fuel miner and the pure kethane miner
