So I have 10 sets of purebread Refined bees pumping out oily and refined combs. I am steadily filling a 9x8x9 steel tank of Fuel. I decided WONDERFUL I can finally get off of Lava. However I am having trouble with 20 Combustion engines cooled. I have 8 Accumulators pumping water into a tank which is going into the engines, I have 2 sets of liquiducts so one pipe feeds 10 each.

It drains water like a black hole. On top of that, 20 combustion engines cant keep my old array of redstone energy cubes charged at all. Should I perhaps move to steam and a liquid fuel box? or should I try something different? I need a good way to get large amounts of MJ and I have an infinite supply of fuel.

Mod pack? Version of MC? Any particular dislikes for certain mods so we know what to not recommend?

If you are on 1.6.4, replace all those combustion engines for TE3's Compression Dynamo maybe?
Or maybe RailCraft's Liquid Fueled Steam Boiler?
DartCraft's Force Engines can run on Fuel too IIRC.

Unleashed mod pack as it states in the title. (I miss Gregtech)

As for the force engines those require force. Something I cannot just make indefinitely.

Unleashed pack?
You could make a SC tree cutter cart with Exotic module on it to make a Force Tree farm, the logs can be ran through Forestry's Squeezer to get liquid force. Carpenter can take in liquid force and infuse metal ingots to net you Force Ingots.
If your fuel production can keep up, a 36HP Liquid Fueled Steam Boiler would probably suit your need.

Just make more Aqueous Accumulators? They are dirt cheap. I usually make this array of 24 of them just for normal water supplies to random things:

Replace the golden pipes with Fluiducts though. The pipes work as a bottleneck.

Worth pointing out that I don't think water is classed as a compressible fluid (like steam), and so there is a finite amount of it that can pass through each section of pipe. Put the accumulators closer to the engines, and have 1 per 3 engines, closed off from the rest, and there should be no issues with cooling.
