Wow. That's elaborate! Thanks for letting me know; I forgot to check tiny piles of dust because they don't appear in the NEI search when you type the ore name...
What tier of GT are you at and what do you want to use the oil for? Mainly power or something else, "best" is kinda hard to interpret on its own.
As long as the mod in question does not affect worldgen or add new blocks and items which might cause ItemID conflicts, you should be fine adding additional mods to your server. For example, on the Official Public Server we have added MyTown2 (for some basic grief protection), ServerTools (for granular player permission control) and Morpheus (for sleep voting), plus a mod or two that helps us analyze lag. Of course the only way to be sure is to set up your server with World Edit and try it out.

on the tab for Low tech power systems there is a calculation for making nitro-diesel for non-dist. tower setups, it's more or less applicable to your querry, but it's a worthy point of reference for any power system imo.
It's currently set up for using oilsand as a oilsource but the processes needed for heavy oil isn't too different.... mostly because the nitro part the larger part of processing oil->nitrodiesel.
Hope it goes well, if not just give the thread another holler why don't you
Is there a bee hive there by any chance? I believe some special hives spawn naturally with redstone. This would be a modded bee mechanic rather than vanilla.
I haven't looked that closely at those recipes... have you compared the energy cost of the different paths? Just because it's more light fuel doesn't mean it's better to produce it that way unless you get more power from the end-result.Thanks for the help. But one last question, i have a heavy oil source. And according to the recipes, you get more light fuel by distilling the heavy oil to regular oil first. rather than making heavy oil straight to light fuel. is this correct?
Most of the time using one fuel-type to produce another is generally a good idea... especially where margins on energy cost and energy output are slim. That isn't the case for nitro diesel most of the time... so it's easy to run on nitro diesel itself. Most setups I've seen use the sulfuric acid to run the sulfur-cleaning part of this kind of setup but otherwise use nitro-diesel for the rest of the machines.
