Refuel struggle

Tech Support [O]

UPDATE: Thanks guys! Thermal rover did the trick, and Valentina is back in Eve Kerbin Orbit after having lots of dV left to spare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiSxGhNWj1M (for those who want to see the launch you made happen in all it's slow paced glory)

Lander (minus heat shield) to the left, thermal rover to the right (lost it's wheels).

Aaand back in orbit with 2k dV remaining.

Back around Kerbin

Hello! I just landed at Eve, with a lander that i know is capable of reaching orbit from the surface. I made one modification. I went with empty fuel tanks, and added full ISRU capabilities. Or so i thought. I forgot radiators.

​

Is there a way to either refill the tanks, or disable the ISRU-units' heat generation? I tried the debug menu but my drills and ore->Lqf+Ox keep overheating.

It will take 5355 IRL-hours at full warp to refuel, which i don't have time for. Valentina needs to get home.

​

PS: Unlimited fuel is not really on the table.
