Best way to remove liquids from a multi-tank?

[Tyken132]

Long story short, I managed to pump a lot of lava into my multi tank using just an ender tank set to output and it filled up perfectly fine.

However, I can't seem to draw it out with the same method(but switching to draw mode) Even with or without a pipe it doesn't seem to draw directly from the tank without any engines to pump it back into the tank. Am I doing something wrong? or are multi-tanks just a bit wonky?

put a liquiduct on it, whack it with a wrench and give it a redstone signal.

Thanks, I'll try that out. Any idea why the draw mode from ender tanks won't work, though? The output mode worked fine.

it works in 1.5 (according to Soaryn on Dire's latest SMP episode)

It doesn't seem to be working for me for some odd reason. Also, neither is the liquiduct. Could it just be a glitch on my end? Also, I have 4 12x12 tanks hooked together, maybe thats it?

have you wrenched the liquiduct that way that the little arrow faces out ? then it is on the output mode

 

[Lambert2191]

if the liquid in the tank hasn't reached the height of the valve yet, then nothing will extract liquid from that valve. It's unlikely that it's a glitch on your end. Could you provide images of your setup?

 

[Tyken132]

Well, I checked the tank and none of the numbers are changing so I assume nothing its happening.
Tried your setup with the liquiduct but it doesn't seem to be working, either. Even with a completely different tank
Also, here's a picture:

try putting another liquiduct on there. The liquiduct in in output mode, so it won't put stuff IN the endertank.

And suddenly...that works. stupid mistake on my part I suppose! either way, thank you very much for all of your help.
