Not sure how to go about this...

    Gday all,

    I'm currently trying to get a working steam engine that can be oil fuelled.

    I've tried PIPE for a one-way oil delivery but it is not quite what I was after.
    Has any one of you got a good solution?

    I'm looking for a one-way oil delivery that drops oil into a tank then pumps it up to a burner that heats the water and turns it into steam.
    What can you suggest?

    Never mind - I'm using BCOL to heat the steam for now. Will look into a solution for OIL sometime.

    EDIT:
    Here's my creation if you want to see how it can be improved:

    To help you out, you need to use the walls that block solids and gasses, but allow liquids underneath an e-wall which in turn is underneath a large tank of oil. Use a spark or something to detonate the oil, allow it to escape through an exaust pipe while also allowing it to heat filter (fastest heat conductor)
    This then heats up a barrel full of water which can be either refilled via any mechanism you choose or simply clone, however water delays and wifi will be used. It's mostly up to you as to how that works however.
