How to obtain

Make this item using the crafting or processing recipes below.

Using it

Use exactly one outward-facing controller in a sealed multiblock tank. Mining retains all stored liquid and capacity in the recovered controller. Recovery Out allows red Output pipe ends on its exposed faces to drain even a breached tank; a blue Input end never fills a recovery controller. Select a Wrench to configure the pipe end. See Pipes.

Opening its controls shows a matching illustration and name in the left panel. See Machine interfaces.

Accepts any registered liquid, including lava, one type at a time. Mining keeps its exact liquid; filled items each use one slot and empty ones stack normally. Shift-left-click with one in hand to discard its liquid. See tank recovery and controls.
