You don't have to do an entire pipeline. Just the tanks.
You hook up the heavy oil tanks to the circuits network, and then that to a pump. Link the pump to the light oil tanks, and then you set the heavy oil pump to only pump into cracking when light oil gets below 50% capacity.
Do the same with Light oil and petroleum tank and you have seamless cracking when you actually need it.
now you can save space on tanks. If you're constantly using Petroleum for plastic and sulfur for blue science you'll never back up.
Furthermore, this lets you keep using light oil for solid fuel, rocket fuel, and heavy for lubricant without ever worrying about the balance because it balances itself.
