[[File:storagetank.png|thumb|150px|Four storage tanks linked together to form a large storage facility.]]
The Storage Tank is a building that can store up to 2500 units of a fluid. It is a passive storage - it has no input and no output, depending on pressure to fill it, essentially being a large pipe.

== Usage as "Energy-Tank" ==

A completely filled tank with 100 degrees hot water stores 212 Megajoules! This is the equivalent to 42 [[Basic accumulator]]s, but the tanks needs only 3x3 tiles of space.

See [[Liquids/Hot]] to learn more about using stored hot water. See [[Liquids/Pipe physics#Temperature|Pipe physics]] to understand, how this is calculated. Energy-tank is not correct, it is a "work-tank". See [[Energy and Work]] about the difference between work and energy.

== Usage ==

Storage tank will only be filled to the same percentage of capacity as pipes that lead to it. Pipe that always carries about 5 water will fill the tank to about 50% of its capacity. [[Small Pump]]s can be used to fill the entire tank from a low pressure source (such as distant [[Pumpjack]]s).

Storage tank is typically used to store excess oils ([[Crude Oil]], [[Light Oil]] and [[Heavy Oil]]) to ensure that [[Oil refinery]] works smoothly.

Storage tank can also be used as a water-based [[Basic accumulator|Accumulator]]. If hot water consumption by [[Steam engine]]s changes a lot during the day-night cycle (for example because of [[Solar panel]]s or [[Laser turret]]s), storage tanks can be filled with hot water during low power usage and then emptied during night.

You can empty a storage tank either by ''mining and rebuilding'' (you don't get the liquids back!) or if you connect a [[Steam engine#Using other liquids?|steam engine]] on it.
