Exploitable 1.12.2 Fluid Dupe Glitch

Describe the bug

I have accidentally found a method to duplicate any liquid using Fluid Interfaces and Storage Busses in minecraft 1.12.2, [ver. rv6-stable-7]. This works in the current version of Enigmatica 2 (normal), and also worked in previous versions of The 1.12.2 Complete Pack.

How to reproduce the bug

Currently, the smallest reproducible version of this that I have made is as follows:

Set up a small independent system powered by a quartz fiber from another system (this is for actual in-game use, it can just be a normal system for testing). you will need to fill an ME Fluid Interface with any liquid, and have a Fluid Storage Bus attached to any type of machine that consumes said liquid. Once said machine has filled its internal buffer completely, it will cease to drain the Fluid Interface of anymore liquids, yet it will still seemingly gain more from nowhere. This seems to work infinitely and produce unlimited fluid, without any need to add anymore fluid back into the Fluid Interface as long as the system is not stopped.

Expected behavior

What I EXPECTED to happen was the fluids to just instantly travel through the system from one end to the other. This did in fact happen, but it also duplicated them.

Additional details

This discovery arose from earlier tests and attempts to use AE2 cables for instantaneous fluid and item transfer of massive proportions between locations. I was messing with mekanism reactor shenanigans and attempting to transfer the full capacity of an openblocks kitchen sink instantaneously. My idea was to find a way to use cables that statedly had no upper limit of transport potential, unlike the export and import busses, etc.. I discovered that when fluids or items are inserted into a Fluid Interface, they immediately are exported into any blocks connected to a Fluid Storage Bus. I tried to use this for my tests, and while I did achieve massive transfer speeds, I was not able to achieve instantaneous INFINITE transfer, like I was hoping for. However, it DID uncover this accidental dupe glitch with fluids, of which I was able to use to great lengths of resource production and other shenanigans.

We don't support 1.12 anymore unfortunately. Consider using PrototypeTrousers' fork which has likely fixed this bug already.
