In Response to Sven2
I don't know what the original reasons were. But the problem I see with direct pumping is that ExtractMaterial returns the extracted material and has then already done its job. I.e. the liquid is removed from the input. If the following InsertMaterial fails, there's no reliable way to put it back.
So if you wanted to avoid the storage, you would have to do an extra check before pumping, which makes the script more complicated.
Also, I think it's not totally unrealistic for the pump to store a few pixels of liquid internally as being "in the pump".
