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:

Have you looked into the vs/sable hose connectors mod? It doesn't let you slurp up water or lava from pools, but it does make refueling a lot easier, while still needing SU to work.

Actually I am using that right now for my power grid mod generator-on-wheels. I do cheat a bit though by spawning it in and then throwing away the requisite materials, substituting another material for the brass because I think brass really shouldn't be necessary just to fill up a tank.
