How much fuel do you have floating above Kerbin?

I don't have a lot of fuel above KERBIN, but above JOOL I have a heavy tanker with gallons and gallons of fuel and kethane tanks that could hold gallons and gallons of kethane.

Unfortunately, a lot of the fuel has been guzzled by the 21 Novapunch Aerospikes it has.

Here's the tanker:

0 tons in propellant depots. About 450 tons in an interplanetary ship intended for Jool, waiting for the transfer window. I tend to not use fuel depots and just send tankers up on an as-needed basis.

OP, any reason you're not mounting tanks radially to make it more compact? There's no part count penalty for it, and you could fit 21 tanks in the length of 3.

The reason for this is because i want the station to be long on purpose. I want it to be noticeable straight vs the curve of the planet.
