View of the stage's RP-1 (fuel) tank.

Picture 4 of 4.

The fuel tank held approximately 203,000 gallons (1,359,000 lbs) of RP-1, a kerosene-like fuel. The tank's wall is smooth, and its bulkhead extended into the thrust structure at aft. The tank wall incorporated a Y-ring at aft, allowing attachment of the thrust structure.
