Fuel/Bitumen bug?

[jspanglet]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.

I have a fuel refinery with 2 lines going to tanks, one set to accept fuel and the other one to accept bitumen. Each tank has one tanker assigned to it to wait until fully loaded and then take it to the customs house to sell.

The problem is when the bitumen tank doesn't have enough to fill the tanker it will take fuel from the bitumen tank. Is this a bug or is this normal?

Screenshot? This sounds unusual but could be that the truck is pulling through the shared pipeline.

That does sound strange, but there are several things you could do to try to avoid this... Allow the fuel truck to load bitumen only by ticking the symbol for it in the line set up. You can also set the fuel tank to allow for bitumen only. Theoretically either one of these should stop it from loading fuel

The fuel tank was set to bitumen only. I'm not sure about the truck. Of course when I reloaded the game the truck stopped taking fuel and only took bitumen

The truck can pull out of the tank itself, and every building that's one hop away. You probably connected the tank directly with the refinery, so that's not a really a bug, that's just how that mechanic works. You could put a pump in the pipeline or say the truck it should only load one thing.

it might be bug in , but make sure u thick only fuel or bitumen and tick those tanks too. hapeened me too and if there was like 0.02 % another stuff thay did not load like happens in storages even u add 100% sometimes there is still something.
bacause I added accidently my truck to load bitumen in fuel tank but that works fine.
I mean they should not be bitumen but trucks load it fine.
