What do you guys generally do with your creosote oil? I like to push a coke oven early on for coal coke, but I always fill it up with creosote and I don't really seem to make a lot of rails. I know it no longer burns in forestry engines, but have heard it will work with the railcraft steam boiler. How much creosote does it take to keep a boiler running indefinitely? Is there anything I can do with it besides making rails and putting it into a liquid fueled firebox? The iron tank is an option but I tend to be chronically short of iron, especially in the early game.

I tend to use creosote for rails, but if I can't, I'll just set up a few regular BuildCraft tanks. Another thing you can do is send it to a TE liquid transposer and dump it into bottles or cans or something and stick it all in a chest. Your cheapest bet would be BuildCraft tanks, though. It's just glass after all 
The only useful thing I know of is rails. If you want to dispose of creosote oil without using a void pipe, use a liquid firebox steam boiler; you'll be out of creosote in no time. Look at the burn values on the railcraft wiki; 10 times worse than forestry biofuel, 25 times worse than buildcraft fuel.

One bucket of creosote oil equals one unit of charcoal in terms of fuel value. If you know how long a boiler lasts with that kind of fuel, you can calculate how much you need to produce to keep it running.
Example: a 8 LP boiler will run 55.555... seconds with one bucket of creosote oil. One coke oven takes 180 seconds to process something. If you're making charcoal it neess four cycles to make a bucket, or just two if you're making coke. So let's say you're making charcoal. Twelve coke oven will produce one bucket every 60 seconds, which is just shy of being enough. So with 13 ovens you can fuel an 8 LP boiler indefinitely.

You can make wood rail ties into wooden posts; they work like fences on the ground, but look fancier when theirs air under them. (aesthetic wooden bridges are a good start)
Rails/Tracks also fit on top.

Nay nay, my friend: fill it because you can!Maximum size railcraft tank. Try filling it for no particular reason
I just use bottles, they are just glass as well and they can be filled directly in the Coke oven, I just store it all because sooner or later I will make a load of rails and being short on creosote blows much donkey nuts. (all the other resources for rails can be gathered fairly easily when you decided to make a few hundred, the only sources of creosote are the coke oven and finding it in chests)I tend to use creosote for rails, but if I can't, I'll just set up a few regular BuildCraft tanks.

If you want to use 12544 coal to do that, then good for you.Maximum size railcraft tank. Try filling it for no particular reason

I know, but this was the fist thing that came up in a google search about creosote, so I thought I would add that to the discussion.
