Hi @Shane M, if you haven't already, I would suggest going through the basic tutorial in the manual to get an idea of how things work in general. There's also a section on the Fluid library that you may find helpful.

I put together a small model. I connected everything using a-connections. I double clicked on the Mixer to get its properties and in the Steps tab included one step and one ingredient. The mixer will now collect fluid until it reaches 10 units at which point it will send it down the next conveyor to the terminator. When its done sending, it will start collecting another batch again.

I also added some triggers to the Tank so you can see how you can manipulate things like opening and closing inputs / outputs based on different things.

There's also a vertical rectangular bar that provides a visual for how full the Generator, Tank, and Mixer are at any given time. Clicking on an object while the model is running will also show you the content and some other basic stats. fluid mixer.fsm
