Who uses one pipe for multiple liquids?

That's not the point, it's being able to divert one liquid supply to multiple sources, plus, the only reason you can't do that is because of the lack of sorters.

Nope, the reason you can't do that is that liquid transport and storage is not meant and is not coded to transport/handle multiple types of liquids at the same time. Liquids are not Items.

Ok, but I still think that the current stuff we have is underwhelming, maybe if it gets different logic, like a smart tank that can detect what's in it for logic purposes?

Can't you already do that?

I don't, think so, though I could be wrong.

Everything but the sorters makes sense.

Actually, leave in the sorters, I'm sure some logic madperson will use them somehow.

The main one is the overflow and underflow gates, for when using the item turrets, (can't remember their name) as it could lead to an inconsistent liquid source, which is why I created this request in the first place.
