Flamethrower turrets do not 'spit out' the remaining oil left in them after deconstructing them, even if connected to a pipe network with sufficient volume.

Deconstructing a flamethrower turret with an X amount of oil in them while connected to a pipe network of the appropriate oil type will not add X amount of oil to the network, unlike assemblers or chemical plants.

The expected behavior would be: Upon deconstructing a flamethrower, it should 'return' the oil stored inside back to the pipes.

I have also observed flamethrower turrets using different methods of containing oil values. They utilize a 'bar', while other machines instead use conventional 'inventory slots' such as gun turrets or artillery.

This is persistent behavior, I am unsure if it is a deliberate design choice, but if so, its quite unreasonable.

[Attached video description]:
I have 847 units of crude oil inside the tank. I attach flamethrower turrets until no oil remains within the tank. Deconstructing the turrets in a manner that allows for fluids to be 'returned' to the network, there is no oil returned to the tank, as the tank still remains empty.

Thanks.

The nature of this bug would relate to flame turrets having "twice" the oil they show. There's a fluidbox capacity, and the internal ammo capacity.
