The train needs to be on Automatic mode and stopped at a station. Is that the case here?

I wonder if they will get rid of this requirement? I know it can be hard to ensure the animation of hooking up looks right if you are pixels off from normal, but it prevents you from using fluid wagons manually to move stuff.

To be fair, you just have to put a random station where you need to load it and put it to depart on a condition that will never be reached and it will more or less be manual too.

It is automatic.

Then next step is verifying that the tanks are empty or containing the same liquid as what you want to put.

They are all empty. Heavy Oil is the only fluid that I want to store in that wagon.

Have you tried moving them down by one tile each? They look slightly off to me.

The pumps look fine. Is there any oil in the pipe? Press Alt to show icons, please.

[Fel]

The pipes look like they have heavy oil (the "windows" show a rusty-red colour), but are the pump facing the right way (I can never tell without the alt arrows)?

I'ma second this. Train stop-to-pump alignment is the thing I've most frequently found at the root of my pump woes.

[Nellvan]

Nah they're lined up just right. If there are 2 adjacent to one tank only 1 will connect, everything else is fine. Empty pipes should not be an issue either.

Can't think of anything else unfortunately, if an empty pipe doesn't matter, surely extremely low throughput won't be different?

It looks right, blueprint string the whole station from the train stop down to the pumps so we can test it outselves is the only thing left I can think of.

[Fel]

I am out of ideas, everything looks like it should be working, the pump has 200 units so it's not even pipe length only sending 0.1 units or something like that.

Even if the position was wrong, it would still fill 2 of the 3, and as far as I know you can't "filter" the tanks like you can with item slots in wagons.

[Warlord]

Next thing I'd suggest is to show us the train schedule itself. We can verify if it is set to automatic or manual.

Edit: Which I see now was already posted. Um, why is plastics pickup in the list twice? Try removing all stops and re-entering the stop. Make sure it is this stop, and not another. Once you do that, toggle manual then back to automatic.

My last thought is... mods? Maybe if someone is using a liquid wagon mod which is conflicting with the existing game's liquid wagon.
