	The '''storage tank''' is a building that can store up to 25,000 units of a [[Fluid system\|fluid]]. It is a passive [[storage]] — it has no input and no output~~, depending on pressure to fill it~~, essentially acting as ~~a large~~ [[pipe]].		The '''storage tank''' is a building that can store up to 25,000 units of a [[Fluid system\|fluid]]. It is a passive [[storage]] — it has no input and no output, essentially acting as volume increase of the [[pipe]] segment it is connected to.

	~~Storage tanks will only be filled~~ to ~~the same percentage of capacity as pipes that lead~~ to it. ~~A pipe that carries about 50 water will fill the tank~~ to ~~about 50% of its capacity.~~ [[~~Pump~~]]s can be ~~used~~ to ~~fill~~ the ~~entire tank from a low pressure source (such as distant~~ [[~~pumpjack~~]]s).		The storage tank is often used to store raw materials and excess products from [[oil processing]], allowing a [[oil refinery\|refinery]] to run without interruptions. It can be used as short term buffer to keep up throughput for high volume recipes such as [[acid neutralisation]]{{SA}} and [[steam condensation]]{{SA}} to avoid the machines getting full or empty. It can also be connected to the [[circuit network]], sending the fluid contents as a signal to the network.

	~~The~~ storage tank is ~~often used~~ to ~~store raw materials and excess products from [[oil processing]]~~, ~~allowing a [[oil refinery\|refinery]] to run without interruptions~~. ~~It can also be~~ connected to the ~~[[circuit network]]~~, ~~sending the fluid contents as a signal to~~ the ~~network~~.		Storage tanks are part of the fluid segment they are connected to, so they are always filled to the same percentage of capacity as the pipes that lead to it. As there is no real flow in the pipes, a storage tank is always filled evenly with the segment it is connected to, regardless of how far away an inflow is. If there are multiple storage tanks connected to the same pipe segment, they all have exactly the same fill state.

	The fluid inside the storage tank can be destroyed by flushing the storage tank or the whole fluid system in the GUI, or by mining and rebuilding the storage tank. The storage tank can be emptied without destroying the contained fluid by draining it with a [[pump]]. Mining a storage tank will send its contents to the next nearest storage tanks, if the fluids match.
