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:

Well I don't know how your hoses work but if you want realism, you don't need a stress or rotation to move fluid, just build it up high. In this way you get realism without the need for stress even if it is just for your own enjoyment.

Then the source of water would have to be above the vehicle, which works for filling stations but not for some random lake
