0010692: Minecart is only filled with magma, when the cart stops
I designed several tracks with rollers and flooded them afterwards with 7/7 Magma.

My dwarves push a cart into the tunnel, the cart is moved to the other side and pushed out, but does not contain any magma.
If i use a lever to power the roller, the cart stops and is filled almost instantly.

Using the lever requires a lot of (micro)management.
I know there are other solutions, but i wanted a solution that feels realistic.

The longest tunnel i build was two medium speed rollers and 10 low speed rollers.

Minecarts won't fill with liquid when moving too fast; to my knowledge this is intentional. Try dropping your carts into your magma channel instead. You can find details on the wiki ( http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Minecart#Loading_liquids [^] ) and functional designs in the forums ( http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=119430.msg3809865#msg3809865 [^] ).
