Fusion Reactor/Thermoelectric Boiler water running out

Hi, I've been using the mod for a while and have run into this issue multiple times, once when using a Fusion Reactor, and once recently with a Thermoelectric Boiler. The issue is that no matter how many pumps and valves I add, these machines always seem to run out of water! I've tried passive mode, actively pulling from the pumps and pushing into the machines, everything I can think of, and they always seem to run out! Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

EDIT: The one thing that seems to help is adding more creative tanks full of water. Say I had 3 valves going into my boiler, and 30-ish pumps feeding them. It seems to always run out of water. Now I add one tank full of water, and it will always boil at 6400 mB/tick or more. Add another tank and it goes up to 12800 mB/tick or more, etc.

EDIT #2: I forgot to mention in my first edit that each of these tanks is being directly attached to the feed pipe, not to a pipe attached to the feed pipe.

EDIT #3: It seems that the only way to increase flow is to attach more tanks to the same pipe.

Sorry for the late reply. About the answer, I'll have to go get my mods set back up and find the world I was testing on, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it within a week.
