Engine Clipping issues

[SHaFT7]

so I've seen some designs where you can clip a nuke engine together with a turbojet engine and a rapier, and everything works. I've had it work a few times too, but usually, i'll have it only work with one of the three engines. The rest flameout immediately.

I just tried a rapier and a turbojet on the back of a normal fuel tank, clipped them both in, tried it with one first, then the other, still flameouts on both.

what am i doing wrong?

(see the proton III space plane for example of it working) http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/64159-SSI-Proton-III-(Type-1A-Shuttlecraft)-Mun-Capable-Mini-VTOL-SSTO-Pic-Heavy

Thread moved to gameplay questions, where it is more likely to receive helpful attention.

You may need to enable part clipping in the debug menu.

i've already done that, or it wouldn't let me mount one engine inside the other. Notice on my first post where I said: "clipped them both in,"

Sorry about that, best I can tell you then (At least with out a pic) is that you don't have enough intake air, but I'm assuming you are using adequate intakes. When the flameouts happen try clicking each engine to see if it is deprived of a particular resource. You might need to run fuel lines to the engines.

it's not flameout from intake air, I have like 12 intakes on this jet. it's fuel flameout. and i'm not sure why. I'm sure it's due to clipping, but I don't know how to do it differently.

someone needs to put up an actual "this is how you clip stuff together and have it still work" video

Edit: also, this on the pad that it happens
