Few questions about steam storage tanks : r/factorio

Fluid flow is based on % full, not absolute numbers. The greater the % difference, the faster the flow. A tank with 250 steam flows just as slowly as a pipe with 1 steam (which is pretty darned slowly). There is a fairly significant exception, though: Pumps. Tank to tank pumping is substantially faster than tank to pipe or pipe to pipe pumping.
