Fuel or propellant is a very vital part of a rocket. It allows Engines to run, and the rocket to lift off. More Fuel Tanks means more fuel for a stage, but it doesn't mean your rocket would liftoff with tons of fuel. More fuel also means increasing your rocket's weight and lowering its Thrust to Weight Ratio or TWR, making it impossible to liftoff with all this mass in the rocket.
There are lots and lots of varieties of fuel tanks, from the small square fuel tank, the 5t variant, to the heaviest of them all, to the 120t variant, which it is 12 wide. Note that the Fuel Tank's mass is 90% from the fuel and 10% from the tank itself. So a 10t fuel tank actually has 9t of fuel. Fuel indicators are bars or even percentages, but the current version, supports bars instead.
When you run out of fuel in your rocket, a notification called "Out of [liquid/solid] fuel" appears, meaning the fuel tanks had ran out of fuel inside them. If it is a stage of a rocket, you can separate it, using Separators or Docking Ports, then move on into the next one.
If the rocket is low in fuel, get to a refueling station. The other way is to quicksave edit, which means editing a quicksave to edit the amount of fuel it has in the fuel tanks inside, although this is considered cheating.
It is possible to transfer fuel from one tank to the other. To transfer fuel, tap 2 fuel tanks (that are separate from each other), and to stop the transfer, tap one of the fuel tanks. This is explained more at the Fuel Transfer page.
Fuel transfer is a feature where players can transfer fuel from one fuel tank to another. Fuel transfer can occur anywhere as long as it is between two tanks of the same spacecraft, meaning the tanks must be docked via Docking Ports or from the same blueprint structure.
To use the feature, tap on two fuel tanks. The fuel will transfer from the first fuel tank selected to the second one at a rate of about one tonne per second. Time warp will also speed up the transfer accordingly. To cancel refueling, tap on either of the fuel tanks. Thus, only one fuel tank can be refueled at a time. The fuel in either tank can still be used (e.g. by engines) during the refilling process.

The are a huge variety of fuel tanks available in-game, weighing from 5 tons to 120 tons (at full fuel load). Most fuel tanks can only be accessed by the Parts Expansion, and more sizes of fuel tanks fuel tanks can be only accessed by BP editing. They contain liquid fuel and their amount can be adjusted. 90% of the Fuel Tank's mass is from liquid fuel if the tank is full.
Fuel tanks are one of the most vital structures in a rocket. They have a storage container for liquid fuel and oxidiser. At the part where the fuel tank and engine connect, there is a series of complex structure which pump fuel to the engine and ignite it. As the engine continues to burn, fuel drains inside the containers. When fuel is gone, the engine shuts down, because there is no more fuel inside the tanks to keep it burning. The rocket stage then gets separated. The space shuttle's external fuel tank provided thrust for its main engines and has a container for liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
As far as I can tell, the only fuel gauge in the Darkstar is the visualization of the aircraft with the tanks showing in green. The middle tanks (marked red below) are the scramjet tanks and the outer tanks (marked blue) are the conventional jet fuel tanks.
A more useful statistic is that 90% RPM maintains a benign 400 kts at the kind of altitudes you may find yourself if looking for an airport after a speed run, and results in a 14 x 1000 PPH fuel flow, i.e. 233 lbs/min.
This was a useful thing to know - because I found that a typical ascent to the scramjet transition takes a bit less than 50% of turbine fuel, so the other 9,000 lbs actually gives over 30 minutes of powered flight at the other end.
From engines to fuel tanks, every element is meticulously designed to reflect reality. Players must strategize their fuel consumption, considering factors such as travel time and payload weight to ensure a successful mission. Additionally, provisions for landing gear and auxiliary equipment further enhance the gameplay experience, adding layers of depth and realism to space exploration.

On the launch pad, the boosters carry the entire weight of the fueled SLS launch vehicle. After launch, the boosters operate for about two minutes before separating from the core stage and landing in the Atlantic Ocean
