Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time do these. When MrNjersey stopped making content it really left a hole in the Stormworks world. Its nice to have someone filling it! I've done a lot of testing myself as I am sub builder mostly. The hardest thing I used to find was pumping out at depth, the pseudo pressure made it so the deeper you went the harder it was to pump out when eventually you couldnt pump at all. Its all changed now and depth makes little difference so that has made testing a lot easier. All these videos are contributing to my subs so am super happy you're doing them, thanks!
@@454ss_gaming yea I find it very interesting as I do all engineering. I'm currently experimenting with using pressure to transfer faster, repressurising tanks and relieving pressure while filling. It's quite a complex thing as it has loads of variables which can change over time as it builds. It's good fun though
Thank you for doing these tests, and with such professionalism! In my setups I've been using flow valves after the gas relief valve to prevent gas from entering back into my pipes before entering the liquid filter, which is before the pump. I've also been cycling the gas back into the tank rather than releasing it into the atmosphere. I would love to see some tests as to how using flow valves and releasing the gas back into the tank will compare to the other setups. Thanks!
Can you take the winner and then modify it so that the gas is pumped back into the main tank? It would also be good if you could compare the pumps with impellers or replace the gas tanks with them because they build up pressure?
Even tho I try not to watch stormworks content as I am a new player and I like the problem solving but... I'm glad you are doing these. You are saving a lot of tedious testing for me.
@454ss_gaming One thing new I found is that 8 ports in the full tank, with a liquid only filter on each one, routed into one pipe then into a single large pump is faster than anything else. I did have 2 output pumps sucking filtered air out of the receiving tank though. Its more piping and not exactly ergonomic BUT if you must have filtered water this is the way to speed up the process to go faster than just two unfiltered pumps.
@@454ss_gaming just make sure you let it run, the 8 filtered ports into one pump will catch the 1 unfiltered into one pump after a short while. I am venting out the receiving containers for more speed though via a pump. You may be able to get away with a few manual bleed valves though on the receiving container.
Can't tell exactly what your readouts are, but guessing on your dial readouts that's total contents? Might be interesting to pull only the diesel number from the liquid meter for the comparisons. Betting the "slower" but good filtered setups would compare much better.
So, which system is best for a custom fuel tank into an engine? I currently have a gas relief valve in my custom tank, liquid vale into a pump which goes into the engine and after a while the engine goes to like half power before eventually dying. In a pain in the arse.
Also, I would think that if the pressure is being released from the output tanks it should match the external air pressure (1 vs 2); is there something going on preventing them from dropping below 2 atmospheres?
The thing on top is just a port, that would allow both liquid and gas through! The gas relief valve is in fact a gas filter aka only allows gas through!
ope, my bad. Have you tried pumping air into the input tank (more than the passive flow from the much smaller air tank)? In theory, the fluid would be more willing to pass from the input tank into the output tank with a higher difference in pressure, and as far as I can tell the input tank can only drop in pressure as it empties while the output tank either increases or stays the same.
I just want to ask. Is it valuable to pump liquid from the tank with one pipe and a filter and to pump the opposite way air from the receiving tank to the first tank? And also: can we interconnect these systems? Can air release from first pump go to the second pipe and liquid from second pump go to first pipe? Do we really need a gas tank or just two pumps?
There is one thing that did not get tested. Pure liquid from tank. Why pull air/gas into the pumps when you can prevent it from the getgo ? Which in turn would not make the pressure in the tank you are emptying go too low. You are also pushing gas into it from the gas tanks and you would not want that to bleed into the pumps and out of the tank ? Maybe i'm not thinking straight.

Thank you for the very nice comment :) I am glad my videos help! I find pumping very interesting since it is practical and vital for most creations!

Thank you for the comment and idea! From people on my discord, I read that doesn't speed things up, but I would love to test that for myself!
Gonna have to call you the Stormworks scientist 👨🔬 troubleshooting and testing 👌 thank you for the content, very helpful and entertaining
hahah thats a good catchphrase :)

Thank you for re-testing these. I did so much testing back before 1.0 and just had no time to work all these changes in the pipe network phyics.
My pleasure! Thank you for the comment!

Godspeed. The longer you play, the more complex it gets haha. (More complex = more fun though)

Incredible findings! Will have to try this! Thank you!

Don't the gas relief valves have a filter built in? Do you need the filter leading into it? Removing that extra filter might improve flow.
Also, I would think that if the pressure is being released from the output tanks it should match the external air pressure (1 vs 2); is there something going on preventing them from dropping below 2 atmospheres?

They would eventually fall in pressure, but it is not happening quickly@@trevans1

Why not return air into a tank you drain from with release finter?
