When you box an electrolyzer in like shown in the first image, and dump a small amount of polluted water and clean water onto it, the electrolyzer will never register max gas pressure has been reached. Furthermore, as soon as it has produced 111.9 grams of hydrogen, this gets stuck in the top left corner, but will never increase in mass, nor wil it ever let any hydrogen flow out the opening. The created hydrogen is just voided.
The fact that is never stops outputting oxygen has led to my entire base being pressurized to above 3000 grams of oxygen per square, and to even higher concentrations close to the electrolyzer (as shown on the image below).
However, as soon as the single opening in the box around the electrolyzer contains any gas other than oxygen, suchs as carbondioxide, it replaces the hydrogen in the top left corner with oxygen, removing the hydrogen entirely and finally stopping with outputting oxygen as it now notices max gas pressure is reached.
I think it is odd that the electrolyzer isn't registered as being flooded when three or even all four of the tiles it occupies contain a liquid, just because the total mass of the liquid is below a certain amount I assume.
To reproduce this bug, simply build tiles around the electrolyzer as shown on the image, drip about 200 grams of polluted water into the box, and top it off with about 200 grams of clean water. Make sure the only open square contains oxygen and then just supply the electrolyzer with water and power.
