Steam stored in tanks. Now only if their was a way to condense it and store huge quantities of steam in a sort of liquid form?!?!!?!?

You can irl. Depending on how flexible your definitions of 'empty' and 'ground' are.
There is actually a difference between liquids and gasses. Both can be transported by pipes/liquiducts and stored in any (so far) kind of tank, but pipes have much higher throughput when transporting gasses. Steam is a gas, as are several of the GregTech gasses (I am not absolutely sure which ones).
another point - steam is produced and used very quickly. A 36H boiler outputs 720 buckets of steam a tick. That's 14400 buckets steam a second. Every unit of a railcraft tank or of a normal BC tank is 16 buckets. even for a 9x9x8 railcraft tank, that's only 10368 buckets.A single industrial steam engine takes 40 steam a tick or 800 steam a second. A single industrial steam engine would empty a max size railcraft tank in 13 seconds.
Trying to store steam in any useful amount is absurd unless you just want it for decoration or if you want to complete a set.

You can't empty a bucket of milk, biomass or fuel on the ground either but those are very much liquids
Too bad really. I wish I could make a sea of biofuel and then set fire to it...

I think that may be coming when the liquidAPI updates, not every liquid will have source blocks, but a few more can be placed in the world.
I think Gregtech has liquid Wolfram somewhere- personally I think a moat of molten tungsten is better than a moat of lava.
yeah, the LiquidAPI will make liquids placeable, from that I know, modmakers will be able to choose how fast/far it moves, if it is easy/hard to move in it, what happens when it touches other liquid, what effects gives if you touch it, etc.
honey sea FTW!
or dna pool... or maybe a new liquid "nuclear goo" that gets created if you dont control your reactor properly...

Aside from that it makes even less sense from a physics perspective
But hey, we have floating blocks. If gravity doesn't always apply then neither should thermodynamics I guess I'm afraid you were beaten to the joke about a week ago.
