Rotarycraft Extract Jet Fuel from engines

[Sniper061]

As the question asks, do any of you guys have good ways to remove jet fuel from your engines? I know that I can remove it by right clicking with a bucket but is there another way besides loading up on empty buckets?

So far, I have tried fluiducts, BC liquid pipes, and Ender IO pressurized pipes. I've tried attaching them to both the ECU and the engine separately with no luck. And yes, I know jet fuel is relatively easy to make but I don't like wasting any and like moving my microturbines around to different worksites.

Can't do it, any fuel inside an engine is as good as spent.

I had no idea you could remove it with buckets, neat. I wonder if you could remove a lot of it with a fuel drum.

I'm half-surprised ender io didn't work; I've seen it remove liquids from adjacent blocks that I didn't even think were attached. Argh.

Tried transfer nodes?

I think you're most likely stuck. I try to be very careful about how much fuel I place in an engine when I'm in the early jetfuel phase and the stuff is valuable.

As to when you move the microturbines around i recommend using a tesseract and a fluiduct and using a wrench to only turn it on when you need it.

Tried the nodes. No go.

What you are trying to do is impossible.

Well, I guess that settles it then! Thank Reika!

While I have a minor bit of your attention, can I ask why you have it setup this way? Why allow removing fuel with a bucket but not some other method?

Because pipes only interact with the bottom, and it makes no sense for the side to function as both an input and an output, especially seeing as that will cause liquid to move back and forth.

I also believe you can pipe fuel into an ECB underneath the engine, but I've never tried to extract that way.

 

[Reika]

I've never tried to extract that way.

You cannot.

Worth noting that this isn't really specific to RoC.

I can't think of any other mods' engines offhand that allow you to pump liquid fuel out once its in. (Granted, It would be neat, and reasonably realistic)

 

[Demosthenex]

I think pumping out with a loss would be fine (ie: only whole buckets, you can't get everything). I understand its hard to accomplish.

Just from monitoring Reika's posts, I think V25 has...14 million changes in it? Maybe wait till that's released to pester him about it

I really like that idea http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/by-request-rotarycraft-suggestions.46206/
