Accessing Built-in Fuel Tanks

[Sheiss]

Hey guys,

I have come seeking thy infinite wisdom!

I have a ship with a toroidal fuel tank embedded in between a lander can and a science unit and I need to transfer fuel to it. Is this possible without being able to see the fuel tank? Do any mods allow one to do this?

Thanks!

If you can't right click it, there isn't a way to do the transfer in stock ksp.

You can work your way around by clipping the camera inside of the ship. This doesn't work very well on small ships.

The mod TAC Fuel Balancer Allows you to transfer fuel to any tank anywhere on your vessel, it also allows you to balance fuel between tanks (Useful for spaceplanes)

Thanks Taki, I'll try that!

Tank Buddy, how would I clip the camera inside the ship?

To clip the camera inside the ship you can use the mousewheel (Or arrow keys) to zoom the camera in and then use the RMB (Right Mouse Button) to drag your camera around the center of mass, zooming in or out as necessary until you can see your tank.

I usually do the camera clip. It is also handy in the VAB/SPH.

Just know that if you are zoomed way in, you might have to zoom out after selecting the tank. Sometimes the little fuel window (or any tweakable window for that matter) that pops up will be off screen, but you can zoom out and click on it.

Of course, if you select the hidden tank first, the other tank will likely be easier to work with...

Thanks guys, the camera clipping worked perfectly!
