Do people still make these, and if so is fuel even good for anything besides combustion engines? I always had fun setting up an oil rig. They way I did it requires a TON of iron and combustion engines, but I find it fun. I start with a pump and put 4 engines around it, then tanks on top of it. Once I get 50 tanks of oil I put 4 refineries around the tank and connect them to the fuel tanks. Then I stick as many combustion engines as it can take. After that I repeat this process till I get 5 to 10 levels of refinery floors making fuel. I hook everything up with Redstone so I can control each level with a lever, and add a main circuit to turn the whole rig on at once. The rig is a lot of work, but it looks sweet and makes fuel like a boss. It can also be rigged to feed the engines oil and water to run itself. Any new ideas?

You can also pipe directly (I think) to some generators that accept fuel as a power source for conversion to EU that way, similar to how you'd pipe lava into the geothermals.

IIRC ethanol is better. Also it is Monster, not Monsters
Ethanol I think it, but with the refining process one needs to go through to make it, it might be better for one to at least initially use fuel until they got a stockpile of Ethanol.

Large boilers are more efficient than individual engines, as long as you can use that amount of power.
Otherwise combustion engines are way cooler then dynamos.
Also there's a semifluid/diesel generator if you want Eu.

I was messing around in creative yesterday and realised that oil refines into fuel wayyyy faster then in unleashed. It could also be the fact I rigged fluiducts and an infinite water supply to all the engines. I was getting more fuel then I could keep up with, and that was just with one level consisting of 4 refineries around the oil tank. I built a second level and the speed was ridiculous ^-^
