PSA: Fuel Tanks MUST HAVE pressure release in Stormworks

In this video, 454ss shows something that he figured out, probably a little too late. All fuel tanks need pressure relief valves in order to function properly.

I definitely second the request for a pressure relief option on the tank parts. This update has put the realism in an awkward and inconsistent place -- real tanks absolutely need a way to relieve pressure, but needing 2 stormworks blocks or even just one stormworks block makes it vastly more bulky than in reality.

Right! It totally puts a damper on certain micro builds and is a bit clunky

It definetly sucks that every creation needs to be updated now :( And the fun part is, my plane looks really bad because I cant fit the ports into the tank sneakily anymore, since I need them at the front and back, in case im climbing or sinking..

@@Sembel-xh9vq the game doesn't model fluids aligning to gravity or sloshing, so you can have all of your piping coming off one port.

i barely used a relief valve on my creations, just on my last helicopter build, didn't know it made that much of a difference

It's bloody insane that their entire argument for having that retarded pressure build up in tanks on spawn was so that old creations would work without modification. They clearly don't work without modification anyway and even if they did you still wouldn't be able to refuel them. These devs man...

You just solved a heap of my problems! Thank you for this!

After the gas update I thought that can be Problem but wasn't shore about that, I actually build on a ship Hull and thought I should use a Valve, but wasn't shore and focused on the Hull, good to know that the valve is necessary to use a fuel tank correctly, i wanted to build a tanker vessel 😅 And hey, for that kind of build is it not to bad to use more pipes on the Deck, it's good for more details, shore, it's bad for existing builds but for new ones you have to think twice to solve the Valve problem.

It would be nice to havr the relief option

i found using your pumptruck to pressurize the fuel storage trailer, makes unloading it a ton faster

@454ss_gaming Since tanks are pressurized in the start and the fuel manifold is sucking whatever you feed into it, you could try to use just a fluid filter to prevent gas from escaping the tank via the fuel manifold. Keep the gas in the tank so it stays pressurized and you might get to use up all the fuel in it. If you don't then gas and liquid are flowing via the FM. (Worth the test as an alternative fix)

@legogenius1667 2 ай бұрын

That's an interesting idea, and if it works that might be what's needed for creations that don't have room for a relief valve. I'd be interested to know if you find any results!

yeah it works just tried it 👍

@@Stormento2 Are you able to fill the fuel tank up to 100% with diesel, or does the trapped compressed air prevent it?

@ProwlProwler Күн бұрын

@@legogenius1667 if you place both fluid and gas filters on the tank you will be golden. I've found that you can never max out a tank but you can get real close to it by maybe 100L in a 360000L volume tank. Also by using 7 filters in parallel on the fluid lines you bypass bottle-necking on the pumps and max out the flow on the pump itself.

I had an issue with one of my seaplanes not being able to restart the engine after running it for a while, and I think you just solved my problem for me! Thanks! Also, is this relevant to the stock, pre-built vehicles, or only modular engines?

i am actually embarrassed that i have been uploading creations to the workshop not knowing this.

@OmegaF77 2 ай бұрын

Huh, so I my assumption was correct. This is why every diesel tank in my creation has some kind of relief valve next to the hose anchor.

I have been putting air scoops on my fuel tank air valves. idk if it does anything but some drag cars ram air into the tank to ram more fuel into the engine

Yeah I struggle getting a readout of how much fuel is in my vanilla tanks because it only reads the total volume in there, In other words any readouts on fuel will be false. You won't see how much fuel you have left in vanilla tanks as the volume is replaced with air.

@loganschmogan1957 Ай бұрын

The liquid meter gives you two outputs. Total capacity and liquid level(actual liters in the tank). All you do is divide the liquid level by the capacity and the result is a percentage of what your fuel level is. Which you send to a dial obviously.

The devs need to add a built in pressure relief to the prebuilt tanks or at least the smallest one, the relief system is as big as the tank itself! also where are the 2x1 windows, the AI vehicles have XML windows, why cant players have them without hacking the game?

like gee, at least when from the depths do massive changes they dont make thoses changes retroactivelly apply to old construct like they remove deddyblades, old constructs can still keep theirs, they change connection rules, old constructs dont fall appart,, why is it so hard to make the system check if the blueprint is made before x date before ruining it
