External Fuel Tank not feeding fuel to the tank it is attached to

Hi!

I wanted to make my self an external Jet Fuel and Rocket fuel tank from the long, side attached RCS tank.

I have a problem though as the fuel is not being spent from the external tank. I enabled cross feed, but it's not working. How can I fix it?

This precise part already exists as part of the KSPX parts pack. As for your problem, you need to use a fuel line, unfortunately. You can side-surface-attach any of the normal tanks as well and observe the same results. No fuel line means no fuel flow for surface attached tanks. They must be attached via a node, or they need a fuel line run.

Thanks! I was able to fix it by changing the attachment rules of the tank. Now I just have to use fuel lines.
