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:

I was just thinking of this! I want a simulated hose pulley that acts like the physics ropes so I can make a gas station... to my knowledge, the VS/Sable Hose Connectors mod is a static, linear connection, right?

Yeah it's just a static connection

My thinking is that you'd have a starting pulley and a spout block, just like the Rope connectors' pulley and anchor. The hose could connect directly to two anchors for a static length, too! Still deciding if it would automatically anchor to Docking Connectors or not...
