any way to get rid of liquids in tanks

[crusaderkvw]

hey guys,

i've been wanting to clear some water and oil but i don't need either of those liquids. is there any way to get rid of it?(heard about some machine that could do this)

Void pipe, Nullifier, Fluid void.

In case of Portable Tanks, just break them with a pickaxe and they will drop empty. Apart from that, what Kotja said.

ahh thanks guys(and gals for all i could know )

btw: wouldn't that spill the liquid all over my place Curunir?

[Curunir]

I only ever broke Portable Tanks containing water, and it would eliminate the water. I think all Thermal Expansion containers drop empty if you pickaxe-break them, as opposed to shift-wrenching.

alright, so yes that works indeed. but problem is: i'm dealing with a massive body of water at the moment... is a BC pump able to drain it away? since they are all source blocks

[Curunir]

BC pumps may be enough if you run enough of them. But the reliable method to drain large bodies of water is filling them up with Sand or Gravel (BC Filler can help), then removing the filling again (BC Quarry to the rescue). If you don't have enough sand, hook up a cobblestone generator to a Pulverizer, or alternatively pulverize surplus Netherrack for Gravel.

so basically: get more pumps(let's say 5-6) or just fill the shit up? hmm.. might also go with just covering up the top layer haha . it's more like a body of water of 5 deep with a quarry underneath down to level 20 now.

 

anyhow: thanks for the tip
