| — In-game description |
The Liquid Container is a shippable structure designed to store and transport large quantities of liquid resources. Additionally, it can refuel nearby vehicles and structures with them.
Uses
Liquid Storage
It can store up to 100 canisters of any liquid in its stockpile, but it can only store one type of liquid at a time.
Canisters and crates of them can be directly submitted into the stockpile.
Diesel canisters can also be transfered directly into the container at a Refinery by placing it on the loading area.
Since its stockpile contains items and not crates its content cannot be directly transfered into a Seaport or Storage Depot by being placed on their loading area. But you can do direct transfers at a Liquid Transfer Station.
When unpackaged, the liquid container's content can be accessed directly on foot or from logistics vehicles (Trucks, Fuel Tanker, LUV, Small Train Locomotive, etc...) by pressing E.
Refueling Station
When unpackaged it can refuel nearby vehicles and structures using the canisters in its stockpile.
Transport
As a small shippable, it can be packaged if its two inventory slots are empty, then lifted by a Crane and placed on any Shipping Vehicle for transport. While on a vehicle you cannot interact with it. You will require another crane at your destination to lift the container from the vehicle.
When empty it can be stored at a Storage Depot or Seaport.

Tips
- You can use the two inventory slots to place liquids (including incomplete cans) and refuel any nearby vehicle or structure, even with a different liquid than inside the stockpile
- You can chose from one of 8 colors to paint a liquid container by selecting a colour in its menu
Trivia
- When the Liquid Container was introduced in Update 1.50 ('Inferno'), it was originally called the "Fuel Container". It was renamed to the Liquid Container in Update 1.52 in order to reduce naming confusion
