Hi there!

I made a few tanks to keep my oil in, and I'm now converting it to fuel with the refinery.

I was just wondering how I can link all my tanks together? Right now the refinery is only using 1 tank, but I have 10+ tanks :-/

Thanks!

Stack them. Use any tank to fill from pipes, the bottom one to empty with a wooden waterproof pipe and engine. Oh, and don't sign your posts.

A screenshot of your setup, but I think balance pipes would do exactly what you want, if you don't want to have one ridiculously high tank.

Just split the pipes coming out of the pump/refinery. They'll balance themselves while it's pumping, and overflow will go to a different tank. You will still need a wooden pipe out of the bottom of each tank stack, though.

Build on height, at least 4 or 5 tanks high - preferably about 6-8. That way, you really don't need more than 3-4 of them (and if you do, getting a redstone engine or five extra shouldn't be an issue ;)

Yeah thats what i wanted to avoid. My tanks are filling up nicely with new oil, but I wanted to avoid having wooden pipes on all tanks going out to the refinery.. Thanks for your help though!
