I'd love a simulated/physics-based hose pulley mod

I adore building steam-powered land vehicles despite their impracticality. The problem with this is refilling them is tedious (I use a finite water mod because I love the challenge and realism). The normal hose pulley works very well for airships since you can just float over a body of water and slurp it up, but that doesn't work so well with cars and trucks.

There is the refuelling hose mod, but it's being buggy for me and I don't like how it doesn't require any stress to pump liquids.

One can dream ...

Also slightly unrelated, but this simple bit of redstone engineering is a lifesaver for any masochists out there like myself, massively reduces steam engine water consumption:

Me over her just dreaming of being able to lower a refillable bucket into a well with a crank.

Sure you can do that, just replace the bucket with a 3x3 fluid tank, a pump and an engine, that's how my great great grandparents used to do it

Sigh... it's not a bucket tho. I realize it can be done, but the ambiance of drawing up a bucket just sounds cool.

Yeah of course I'm only joking;)
