#solved [Railcraft & Ender IO] Fluid Conduits on Iron Tanks

[Skixx]

Hello Guys !

I am playing Infinity right now and there are no Liquiducts.

At the moment I am using Ender IO's Fluid Conduits on the Railcraft Iron Tanks.
How can I control the Conduits via Redstone ? I wanna be able to close/open it at the Iron Tank Valve.
I already tried Redstone Conduits/Levers/Alloy Wire and clicked all possible Icons on the Conduit Plate directed to the Iron Tank Valve, but the Fluids are keeping flowing in no matter what

Any Ideas ?

Could be 1 of 2 things that I know of.

1), is the value on the bottom middle of the iron/steel tank. If so, then its kinda a problem as it auto-outputs on its own (its the only spot that does).

2) either right click on the connection spot of the conduit or use a the ender IO wrench and change the output mode to require a redstone signal.

To clarify (1), (which I believe is the issue): if the "VALVE" is on the bottom face of the iron tank, fluids will get pushed out. If this is a problem for you, you can work around it by putting a buffer such as a BC Tank there and then extracting from the tank.

If you don't want fluids to be forced out, use the bottom "level" of the tank to extract from. So if your tank is, say, 8 blocks tall (including the frame) you want to extract from the second level from the bottom.

Looking at the tank from the side:

I managed to solve the Problem by Placing some things in the following Order:

Iron Tank -> 1x Fluid Conduit with Redstone Conduit and Wireless Reciever -> OpenBlocks Tank -> Fluid Conduit to Ender Tank Source

So now I can control whats beeing extracted after the Open Blocks Tank.

Its not pretty but it works both ways (Filling in/Filling out)

Confused and thankfull

That's the buffer I mentioned, good job

Doesn't need to be pretty so long as it gets the job done. You can beautify it later.
