Fluid pipes will not connect to fluid handlers with no tanks.

If an IFluidHandler returns an empty array from getTankInfo, fluid pipes will not connect to it.

Even if a fluid handler has no internal tanks, it might still need to connect to pipes. It should not have to return dummy info from getTankInfo.

Couldn't he simply override the pipe connection?

What about canFill and canDrain? And PR Forge to update the documentation so that null means "any fluid"

canFill/canDrain are being removed in 1.7

Who is updating the fluid API in 1.7 - still KingLemming?

Edit: Yes. KingLemming says he is adding a canInterface method specifically to solve this problem. Thanks KingLemming!
