Re: Pipes and Pumps

you can use them to move liquids in storage reservoirs to other places, and flush all liquids out of a system without rebuilding everything. Ahh, so I can't just connect a storage tank to another storage tank and the incoming flow to the first one also fill the second one? I have to add a pump some...
