I propose a "small tank", holding 1000-5000 mB of liquid/gas, for loops which don't need permanent storage. I'm hoping it could be an easy "copy-paste the tank" to do this.
The Tank is actually pretty useful... but its capacity causes problems when putting it into a loop. For example, using it in a Nuclear Reactor loop means you can possibly have a full tank of either cold coolant or hot coolant in the loop somewhere, at least 24 buckets of coolant wasted. Having a smaller capacity means less material gets stored indefinitely in a loop.
