Overview

The Hydrogen Tank is a block used to store and distribute Hydrogen. Its main use however is in conjunction with the Large and Small Hydrogen Thrusters, where it is used as fuel.

It can also be used to refill Hydrogen Bottles by placing it into the tank's inventory and clicking on Refill Bottles, assuming that auto-refill isn't checked.

Usage

The hydrogen can be produced from Ice much the same as Oxygen inside H2/O2 Generators. The hydrogen tank must be directly connected via Conveyor blocks in order to receive hydrogen from the generator, and also to send the fuel to the hydrogen thrusters.

Indicator

The colored indicators on the tank show at a glance the current hydrogen level inside the tank.

Normal Operation
	100% full.
	Over 75% full.
	Over 50% full.
	Over 25% full.
(Unlit)	Less than 25% full.
Stockpiling
	Tank will siphon H2 from other tanks and will not allow emptying. Hydrogen Thrusters and Engines will not be receiving H2 from this tank.
Offline
	Tank will neither fill nor empty. It has been turned off or has insufficient power.

Hydrogen Tank

The large version of the hydrogen tank holds a massive 15,000,000 L

1,500,000 hL
15,000 m³

(Small-block: 500,000 L

50,000 hL
500 m³

) of H₂ gas. Both sizes feature 6 conveyor ports, one on each side. The small version has two large ports on either end and 4 small on its sides.

Small Hydrogen Tank

The small version of the hydrogen tank holds a smaller total of gas (1,000,000 L

100,000 hL
1,000 m³

/ 15,000 L

1,500 hL
15 m³

), but makes up for it with a higher capacity per volume in a smaller package. Both sizes have 2 ports.

Tips

• Using a Connector block, you can vent the hydrogen out of the tanks by switching it to Throw Out mode much the same way you can with oxygen tanks.

Media

Programming

Programming in the program block.

Interface name: IMyGasTank

Known Issues

• Unlike cargo containers the actual cargo of the hydrogen tank does not in any way influence its mass. Therefore the large block tank will ALWAYS have a mass of 8,161.6 kg
  8,161,600 g
  8,161,600,000 mg
  8.162 t
  tons whether it's completely full of hydrogen or not.

Update History

Update 1.194	Small Hydrogen Tanks introduced
Update 01.105	Hydrogen Tanks introduced
Update 01.106	Hydrogen Tank capacity increased.
