In Nuclear Tech Mod, Diesel is an important fluid, being often used as a great source of power generation at the early-game. Especially by the fact Diesel isn't hard to produce, and it is much better than many other fluids you can have at the early-game stage of the mod.
Diesel is a slightly gray-ish kind of, flammable, combustible, and polluting liquid, providing 550.0kTU and 1.37MHE per bucket. Diesel as stated earlier, is a great source of power generation at the early-game stage because of the amount of energy per bucket Diesel can provide, and at the early-game there really aren't many options to quickly get power for the machinery you might have, of course, you have other options that are perhaps good ones, but a tip is to potentially produce Diesel for some sweet energy at the start before you get to the real deal energy producers.
Production
Diesel has 2 ways of being produced: In a Hydrotreater and in the Fractioning Tower(s). Firstly a look in the Hydrotreater production:
100mB
1,000mB
800mB
300mB
(Note: The Liquid Hydrogen must be at 1 PU, for this, run the fluid through a Compressor at 1 PU).
And to the way of making it in the Fractioning Tower(s), which are 2 ways of producing Diesel:
100mB
40mB60mB
100mB40mB
60mBUses
Diesel has many ways of being used in the mod, let's start by its use in the Catalytic Cracking Tower:
100mB
200mB40mB
30mB
2mB
In the Industrial Solidification Machine:
3,200mB
In a Coker Unit:
590mB
59mB
In a Industrial Mixer:
100mB900mB
1,000mB
Diesel can also be used for a weapon called "Mister Topaz", which is a flamethrower. It requires Diesel Tanks, which are made in the Crafting Table as the following recipe:
(Each tank counts as 100 ammo in Mister Topaz).
Another weapon it can be used on, is the Chainsaw, holding up to 5000mB of many other fluids which you can find out in-game about, including, Diesel.
Another use for Diesel is the infamous armor called the "Diesel-Powered" set. Each piece of the Diesel-Powered armor can hold up to 64000mB of Diesel. The armor only consumes that Diesel if the player takes damage, meaning it does not passively consume the energy like other armors such as the T45 Power Armor.
And lastly, it is used as main fuel in the Diesel Generator, alongside other fuels which can also be used providing different number of energy depending on their fuel grades. Diesel has a high fuel grade, therefore, you get 75% fuel efficiency in the generator.
