Using Fuel Tanks

I installed an extra fuel tank on a missile pylon and the only instruction was "transfer 3ly of fuel at the touch of a button". Sadly it did not mention which button and I can't find it. My fuel gauge shows +3 but I have no idea how to transfer this to the ships tank?

Any suggestions?

If anything is installed on a missile pylon, you only need to select it like a missile (using the "Y" key), then firing it like a missile (using the "M" key) -- although, full disclosure, I don't use this OXP normally, so I could be completely wrong...

You might need to have the Multi-Targeting System fitted to select the appropriate pylon.

No. Just activate missiles, cycle missile pylons pressing Y, select external fuel tank and fire it like missile. phkb is completely right :D

Thanks, stranger! It's been a long time since I used this OXP, or had anything other than missiles on my pylons.

Thanks, managed to get them working. Didn't help me with the Collector mission though so I have given up on that and gone back to 4 missiles. If I can't do the first task I'm unlikely to be able to do any of the rest and it's just become a waste of time.
