Description
I stumbled upon this when I was about to launch a satelite with an SSTO.
Once the Liquid Fuel of the Tank inside the Cargobay is depleted, the Fuel-Requirements of all Engines (Rapier, Juno, Wheesly, Panther, Whiplash) drops to 50% until the drained Liquid Fuel Source in the Cargobay will be locked or jettisoned.
Until then, no more fuel will be drained from the plane itself but the Engines are still generating Thrust.
Important: The Satelite was only attached with a single dockingport to the cargobay (No decoupler)
Betty-Craftfile attached.

This appears to be a duplicate of #5909. However the information on the fuel inhibit (and crossfeed setting) controlling the behaviour is new.
