Piping anything other than water into the sink voids it

If you pipe any liquid that's not water into CFB's sink that liquid will be voided. I only tested it with "infinite water" disabled, so I have to pipe water into it.

No reason, it's just unexpected, it took me some time before I realised it was what was voiding my fluids. Maybe a tooltip or something then, make it a config option? or an in-game option?
That's intended behaviour, the sink acts both as a water provider but also as a liquid nullifier. You can empty out any bucket (and even potions, I think) in it.
Is there any reason it shouldn't? I feel you could probably avoid unwanted voiding through pipe management.
Why not allow other fluids to be piped into and drawn from the sink for easy crafting?
That would be unclear and confusing and is not what a sink is.
You're thinking of some kind of fluid tank, which is already planned for 1.13, see #277
A bit off topic but what would be nice is to have the sink have some visual representation of the water when it's not set to be an infinite source.
Along a similar vein, it'd be nice to have a config option to specify which liquid the sink is expecting when the option "sink requires water to be piped in" is on. I have Tough as Nails installed, that makes regular water be treated as "dirty" and adds its own "purified water". I'd like the sink to be expecting that purified water rather than the regular dirty water.
