Propellant Tanks are used to store propellant, which is required by Engines, RCS, and Turbines. When launching for a dive, propellant can be bought in batches of 1000kg for an average cost of 100 E$, though this price will fluctuate with the market.

Available propellant tanks
Name Storage Price Exclusive to
Short-range propellant tank 15,000 kg 6,000 E$
Standard propellant tank 30,000 kg 12,000 E$
Extended propellant tank 50,000 kg 20,000 E$
Long-range propellant tank 80,000 kg 32,000 E$
