The Diesel Generator has great potential, as its efficiency depends on the type of fuel used. This generator is compatible with many of the combustible fuels in the mod. Here is a list of a few of those fuels:
Crafting
Usage
Use a Fluid ID to designate your fuel of choice and then pump it in with a Universal Fluid Duct or by putting a barrel/tank inside, it will start functioning immediately.
It has rather small internal power storage compared to the energy production of even just a single bucket of diesel. Attach it to something like an Energy Storage Block or another machine with decent internal power storage so no fuel/power is wasted.
Power Generation
Here is a table showing how much energy different fuels produce per second. The BF Rocket Fuel seems to be producing less energy than it should since the entire capacity of the diesel generator gets filled instantaneously, but only produces 1 MHe/s.
| Fuel Used | Energy Produced/s |
|---|---|
| Diesel | 27.4 kHe/s |
| High-Octane Diesel | 68.6 kHe/s |
| Cracked Diesel | 25.6 kHe/s |
| High-Octane Cracked Diesel | 64.2 kHe/s |
| Gasoline | 30.2 kHe/s |
| Leaded Gasoline | 45.2 kHe/s |
| Coal Gasoline | 171.36 kHe/s |
| Leaded Coal Gasoline | 255.6 kHe/s |
| NITAN© 100 Octane Super Fuel | 3.2 MHe/s |
| BF Rocket Fuel | 1.0 MHe/s |
