Fuel is the refined version of Oil and is produced by putting Oil into a Refinery. It is highly recommended to do so as it is significantly more efficient than oil when burned in a Combustion Engine, and Oil is converted to Fuel in a 1:1 ratio. It will produce 6 MJ /t in a Combustion Engine. Fuel must be transported in Waterproof Pipes.
Usage[]
The main use for Fuel is to power Combustion Engines, which in turn can power many BuildCraft Machines. Fuel is very efficient, creating 6 MJ/t, the most out of any possible fuel. Though, when using Fuel, one must be very careful about the Combustion Engine's heat level.
A Fuel Bucket can be inserted in the Industrial Centrifuge with 3 empty Fuel Cans to create 3 filled Fuel Cans which produce 100,000 EU each in a Generator, or 384,000 EU in a Diesel Generator. This takes 25 seconds in the Centrifuge and requires 2,500 EU. This is an easy way to convert Oil/Fuel into EU. (does not seem to work in the current Mindcrack build)
A very efficient way to convert Fuel into EU is to power a Combustion Engine and then convert that via a Energy Bridge. This way the 600k MJ /bucket get converted into 1'458'600 EU /bucket. Of course there are some losses if you do it with Energy Conduits
