====Fluids====
[[File:Input disable pipe.png|thumb|Steam can only flow towards the machines.]]Railcraft Water Tanks auto-pump from any side except the top. Railcraft Multi-Block Tanks auto-output from valves only, which must touch one of the bottom layer empty spaces inside the tank. Tinker's Construct Seared Faucets work on other liquid containers, not just the Smeltery. A redstone clock, either vanilla style with torches/dust, OpenBlocks Redstone Clock can be used to pulse a faucet. Bibliocraft's Clocks can be configured with shift right-click and are useful for slower actions in half-hour intervals or greater.
GT Pipes do NOT work on their own. They require a pump or a block that auto-outputs fluids, like Boilers. Fluid pipes can be broken with a Wrench; hold down left-click. The throughput of a pipe is half its capacity. Fluids will slosh back and forth inside pipes. While holding a Wrench and looking at a pipe, shift right-click on the rectangular 'x' areas to disable input for that side of the pipe. This stops fluids from flowing back into that section of pipe.
