[0.18.30] Pump won't connect to fluid wagon

The pump at the bottom doesn't connect to the fluid wagon, even tough it is directly next to it and the others also connect.
I have also tried to put the pump one tile lower but that also doesn't work.

That is not a bug, pumps only work with fluid wagons when pump is placed directly next to straight rail. They do not work with curved rails.

The whole fluid wagon has small angle between north direction, why first two pumps are connected?

There is an angle margin for up to 1.4deg to consider fluid wagon to be horizontal or vertical, and pumps are on straight rails.
