The fluid wagon consists of three tanks which by default are connected as a single unit to hold a total of 75k units of fluid. These tanks can be disconnected from each other to form three separate tanks holding 25k units of fluid each. This way, one fluid wagon can transport three separate fluids without mixing them together. One pump can attach to each of the three tanks. | The fluid wagon consists of three tanks which by default are connected as a single unit to hold a total of 75k units of fluid.

The fluid wagon, also known as the rail tanker, is a recent addition to trains, added in 0.15. It is capable of transporting liquids by rail. Fluids can be pumped in and out of the wagon using a pump. Similar to cargo wagons, a diesel locomotive is required to move the liquid wagon.
The fluid wagon consists of three tanks which by default are connected as a single unit to hold a total of 75k units of fluid. These tanks can be disconnected from each other to form three separate tanks holding 25k units of fluid each. This way, one fluid wagon can transport three separate fluids without mixing them together. One pump can attach to each of the three tanks.
The fluid wagon weighs 3 times as much as a regular cargo wagon, so will need more locomotives pulling it to move at a similar speed/acceleration to non-fluid trains.
