Can't seem to figure out how to do this. I have a tank, when the fluid level reaches a certain value I want a pump to turno and fill the tank, but I can only get the tank to stay at the selected level. Ex. Tank is full at 2.5 k. Oil is used for production. A red wire is connected from the tank to the pump on the input of the tank to turn the pump on at 1000.
that works fine except that the pump just maintains tank level at 1000. I want the pump to run until the tank is full then shut off. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Thats not very difficult to make, what u need is a S/R latch.
I used the screenshot from GopherAtl from his Combinators 101. Follow his instructions with my changes below.

- U have to replace both of the constant combinators with decider combinators.
- Configure the top one with the activation condition, in your case fluid level is above 1000 and connect it to the tank.
- Configure the bottom one with deactivation condition, in your case fluid level below 10 and also connect it to the tank.
- Connect the wire that should go to the lamp to the pump and set the sames condition on the pump as would on the lamp.

If done correctly it will turn the pump on when fluid level goes above 1000 and continues to pump until the fluid level goes below 10.

Thank you.
