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

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.
