Refinery (BuildCraft)

The Refinery is an advanced machine in BuildCraft that converts oil into fuel using Redstone Flux (RF). Fuel provides more energy than oil when used in certain engines.

Recipe
The Refinery can be crafted with two Redstone Torches, three Tanks, and one Diamond Gear.

Usage
The refinery requires at least 40 RF/t to begin processing, though 80 RF/t or greater is optimal. The speed at which the refinery is processing is indicated by two colored pistons on the side. Red is the slowest speed, followed by purple, teal blue, and then green being maximum speed.

Oil can be pumped in and fuel can be extracted using Fluid Pipes. Two internal tanks hold eight buckets of oil total, while the third tank holds four buckets of fuel. Take care that water does not get into the internal tanks, as it can cause the refinery to stop functioning.

Biomass from Forestry can also be used in the Refinery to create Ethanol though it is more efficient to use a Still
