Advanced Fluid Tank
Advanced Fluid Tank holds 16 buckets (16,000 mB) of one fluid, keeps the fill when carried, and does not burn in lava — the second grade of the portable tank.
Description
Advanced Fluid Tank is crafted from the tank it upgrades: place the Portable Fluid Tank in the center of a crafting table, a Reinforced Cupronickel Plate in each corner of the grid and a Silver Plate on each edge, and the shaped recipe returns the new tank, so the old one is never wasted. The item form is fireproof — an Advanced Fluid Tank dropped into lava survives, unlike the first-grade item, which burns. Pumping speed is deliberately identical on both grades, because the tank is passive and has no tick (1/20 of a second of game time) of its own: fluid pipes, pumps and other containers set the pace. The 16-bucket volume finally puts a portable tank above the 10-bucket internal buffers of Ala Industrial machines, which is exactly the reason to build the second grade. Like the whole mod, the Advanced Fluid Tank runs on both Fabric and NeoForge.

Guide
How to craft and fill the Advanced Fluid Tank
-
1
Craft the first-grade tank
Build a Portable Fluid Tank at a crafting table first — the Advanced Fluid Tank recipe consumes exactly one as its central ingredient.
-
2
Collect the upgrade plates
Gather 4 Reinforced Cupronickel Plates for the corners of the recipe and 4 Silver Plates for its edges.
-
3
Assemble the upgrade
Place the Portable Fluid Tank in the center of the 3×3 grid, a Reinforced Cupronickel Plate in every corner and a Silver Plate on every edge; the shaped craft returns 1 Advanced Fluid Tank.
-
4
Fill and drain the tank
Use a full bucket on the placed Advanced Fluid Tank to pour in exactly 1,000 mB, or an empty bucket to draw a whole bucket back out; fluid pipes and pumps can work through any of the six faces.
-
5
Move the tank without losing fluid
Break the filled Advanced Fluid Tank with a pickaxe and carry the item — the stored fluid type and amount survive and return on the next placement.
The Advanced Fluid Tank item does not burn in lava, but the first-grade tank item does. Near lava lakes, carry the upgraded tank and let empty buckets do the fetching.

Frequently asked questions
How much fluid does the Advanced Fluid Tank hold?
Advanced Fluid Tank stores 16,000 mB — 16 buckets — of a single fluid, double the 8,000 mB (8 buckets) of the Portable Fluid Tank.
Does the Advanced Fluid Tank pump fluid on its own?
No. Advanced Fluid Tank is a passive block without a tick of its own, so fluid pipes, pumps and other containers set the flow rate, and both tank grades move fluid at the same speed.
Can the Advanced Fluid Tank store two fluids at once?
No. Exactly one fluid variant fits at a time — while water is inside, lava and other fluids are refused until the Advanced Fluid Tank is emptied.
Do filled tanks stack in the inventory?
An empty Advanced Fluid Tank item stacks to 64, but a filled one never stacks and always takes its own slot, so carry spare tanks empty.
How do I read the fill level without an interface?
The fluid column shows through the glass walls of the tank body, and a comparator next to the Advanced Fluid Tank outputs 0 for empty up to 15 for full.
