Hey Guys

Just a quick question about pumping lava from the nether.
If my XYCraft Tank is full and not being used and my pump in the nether is still going will it be wasting lava?
Or does it just not pump more until there is space in the tank?
Just wanted to know so i dont have to keep going back and forth when my tank is full so i dont waste any.

Thanks Guys
 
To the best of my knowledge, a Buildcraft pump will not actually suck up any liquid if it doesn't have anywhere to send it to. This also means that it won't be consuming the power you send to it, which is only a problem if you're using a type of engine that can get jammed or explode (or using conductive pipes which could also explode).

If you're using redstone engines, you should be fine. :)
