As a fuel
Combustion Generator
Diesel is rated at 160 FE/t. The Combustion Generator burns 250 mB at a time for 1,600 ticks, so a bucket lasts 6,400 ticks. The oxidizer multiplies the output:
| Oxidizer | FE/t | FE per bucket of Diesel |
|---|---|---|
| Compressed Air (uses 250 mB per burn) | 160 | 1,024,000 |
| Oxygen (uses 125 mB per burn) | 320 | 2,048,000 |
| Dinitrogen Tetroxide (uses 25 mB per burn) | 640 | 4,096,000 |
Gas Furnace
In the Gas Furnace, 250 mB of Diesel lasts 16,000 ticks, enough to smelt 80 items (320 items per bucket) without an upgrade.
