[0.18.45] Pump not connecting to the fluid wagon

Hello!
As title says, I noticed that sometimes I am unable to make the pump working as intended and transfer fluids into the fluid wagon.
I am using Krastorio 2 mod, as you can see here, I have 3 stations for Petroleum gas/light oil/heavy oil.
The one in the middle refuses to connect to the fluid wagon no matter if i remove and place again the pump.

I guess it has to do with the rail track position and the distance between it and the pump but even that close it still refuses to work.

Make sure the train is automatically driven into the station.

It is, I've done that test too, the train stops on the station and still not connect with the pump

If you send the train around again, does it still not work after it returns? If yes, post a link to the save please.

From far away i can see the train is not properly aligned - pump looks almost across the center of the fluid wagon connector. You may back off the train a little on manual and then set it back to automatic. If you can reliably reproduce this state happening when train arrives on automatic i would like to look at the save file.

I have fixed by rebuilding the station again, probably the rail track was too close to the pumps.
