Gold conductive pipes have a loss rate of 0. Place your refineries down, and connect your pipes to the side of the refinery that has 2 tanks on it. You can connect your conductive pipe to the underside of the refinery and trail off your conductive pipes to where you will be setting up your engines.

Connect a wooden waterproof pipe, and a redstone engine to the end of the refinery that only has one tank, this is where the refined fuel will come out of. Connect that end of the refinery and the wooden waterproof pipe with the tanks that you made to store the refined fuel. Know that gold conductive pipe we laid down earlier? Now we are going to add some power to those lines to start refining some fuel. Lead those lines away from your work-pace, and set up some combustion engines.

Three combustion engines are an adequate enough source of power for two refineries to run at a comfortable pace, but you can add or subtract combustion engines at will. To connect these combustion engines to your gold conductive pipes, place wooden conductive pipes attached to the end of the combustion engine that looks like a wooden tip thing I really cant describe it better, see the pictures to get the right idea.

After that is done, you'll need some water to cool your combustion engines, and you will need a lot of it. You can get water from making a water pool that measure 3 blocks by 3 blocks, and is one block high.

Put your pump anywhere above this pool and you will be supplied with infinite water , as the water taken from the pool will instantly replenish. Have this water pumped into tanks, about 10 tank blocks are adequate enough for cooling three combustion engines. Power this pump the same way you do as for the oilwell pump, with four redstone engines, and have waterproof pipes carry the water back to the tanks mentioned earlier. Two of these water pools is necessary for three combustion engines, unless you want your refinery to blow up because of insufficient cooling for your combustion engines.

Also have a line come from your refineries and towards your engines that will carry refined fuel to power your engines. For the time being you can power your combustion engines off of raw oil, which is not a great long term plan.

Combustion engines running on raw fuel burn hotter, therefore overheating much quicker, and use much more fuel. Major Mods. Other Mods. Nether Ores Power Converters. APIs Lua Tutorials. Explore Wikis Community Central.

This separates the oil from the water efficiently and cheaply. Another item that can by utilized to separate water from oil is the Water Strainer , which destroys the water pumped into it when given a redstone signal, and generate EU when not.

When oil has been found, you can use a bucket to gather it, although using a Pump for medium and large deposits is highly recommended. The pump will allow you to pipe out the oil via waterproof pipes to a tank, refinery, or combustion engine. While you can fuel combustion engines directly with oil, it is less efficient than Fuel.
