Pumping oil wells help

[Hunter12396]

I tried to hook up a pump to an oil well, and the engine powers it, but the oil wont go through the waterproof pipes. heres a screenshot of my rig

Maybe it's not Oil from BuildCraft, but Oil from Galacticraft.

I don't think that would matter though, pretty sure Buildcraft pumps and pipes should be able to handle anything as long as it's liquid.

sin't there a wooden pipe equivalent to the waterproof pipes that's necessary

Negative, pumps can connect directly to any waterproof pipe without the need for a wooden one, you'd only need the wooden pipe to pump liquids from a tank into an engine or something similar.

Ok, it makes sense that they can auto-eject because they require the power to pump already; I personally use fluiducts from TE primarilly so not too familiar with BC waterproof pipes.

Yeah, Buildcraft was my first mod, followed shortly by IC2 to handle the excessive amounts of dirt and cobble from my quarry, and it's still my go to mod for all my piping needs, I don't know if other pipes are faster or easier or whatever, way I figure it if it's not broke don't fix it.

I changed it a bit, and this picture might be better to understand

Connect the waterproof pipes to the top of the pump.

Sludge from MFR? I don't know. I can't see anything wrong with your setup in the picture.

Try and test it by placing a glass tank right next to the pump. It should be able to output directly to the tank. If not then something is wrong.
And are you sure there is actually any oil left?

 

[Hunter12396]

I tried connecting it to the top too, and it wont pump into the tank either

You sure you made a Pump and not a Mining well?

yep[DOUBLEPOST=1389485129][/DOUBLEPOST]hmm are there any mods buildcraft is dependant on?

Have the pump actually given any oil at all? If you can try and go down the well and see if there is actually any oil downthere.

there is an oil deposit there, there was a geyser but I removed it thinking that wsa the problem

No idea then. Try and break the pump and place it again. Not sure what else to suggest.
Make sure you didn't place anything(like a torch) in the well.

Nah because it will block the pipe from the pump from going down
