I built an atmospheric particle scoop ship for Kerbin and had a very hard time figuring out how to set it up correctly.
The only gas I could collect by trial and error with changing the content type of my IST2501gas tanks was Argon.
Only when reading the source code, I found out, that the scoop mainly collects liquids.
No idea, why collecting Argon works, as the definition in AtmosphereProcessor.cs:198 also references ArgonLqd...
If collecting Liquids is intended, I would suggest adding this to the Part description in the VAB (either in the text or in the function description).
If collecting Liquids is not intended, the rescource names in AtmopsphereProcessor.cs (starting at line 195) should probably be changed to ResourceSettings.Config.*Gas.
