I think that a kind of robot that can transport liquids in an internal tank would be very nice.

In my opinion they need something like a bottle/can/barrel for that.

Yes, you should craft it with one normal logistic robot and one barrel.

All fluids needs a possibility to be transported in barrels. That enables logistic robots to transport fluids.

it should have a requestertank and providertank and maybe a storage tank but you could make that with a requestertank, normal tank and providertank

you can already do this with an assembler 2, a tank. two inserters and two chests. this is in regards to curde oil.

i would love being able to put petroleum, light oil and heavy oil into barrels. lubricant and sulphuric acid would be cool too, but less important.

for water i think making bottles out of plastic would be pretty cool (or just barrel it up like the rest.)

this way you can make pump stations all over the place and use trains, logistics or even belts to move the liquids closer, and use pipes on the short scale.
