Line 1:
Combustion generators run off flammable liquids. The main fuels for these are creosote oil, light fuel, diesel, bio diesel, cetane-boosted diesel, and gasoline. There are 3

The turbo combustion generator is available at HV. It produces 1 amp of HV power (512 EU/t) at 85% efficiency.
=== Turbo Supercharging Combustion Generator ===
== Combustion Engine Multiblock ==▼
The turbo supercharging combustion generator is available at EV. It produces 1 amp of EV power (2048 EU/t) at 60% efficiency.
=== Ultimate Chemical Energy Releaser ===
The ultimate chemical energy releaser (yes, that's what it's called) is available at IV. It produces 1 amp of IV power (8192 EU/t) at 50% efficiency.

Compared to a regular Large Turbine (Steam, HP Steam, Plasma, Gas), this multiblock does not need fluid regulation into its input hatch. It also does not need a rotor in its GUI. Because of this, the multiblock will '''always''' produce either 2048 EU/t (unboosted) or 6144 EU/t (boosted).
Line 22 ⟶ 28:
Because of this, it's also worth noting that you can redstone control (either with a fluid detector on your supply of fuel, or with an energy detector on your battery buffer/power station) exactly when the multiblock is activated so as to conserve fuel when energy generation is not possible with the current fuel reserves or if energy generation is just not needed yet. Since the engine has a ramp up time, you need to make sure the engine isn't turned on and off at high frequency. Ideally, you want to turn it on when your stored energy is almost empty and turn it off again when it is nearly full. This can be realised with a RS Latch.
The [[Extreme Combustion Engine]] is the IV version of the EV [[Combustion Engine]], however it only takes high octane gasoline and jet fuels (added by Bart and overly complicated). It also needs to be boosted by liquid oxygen.

Line 29 ⟶ 37:
There are 4 type of rocket fuel to run rocket engine. They're mostly semi complex fuels, however currently most are either power negative to produce, or don't make much power compared to their alternatives. Using them is possible, and their eu/t output being the highest any oil based generator makes them almost viable.

=== Oil Distillation ===
The main source of combustion generator fuel is oil. At LV, oil can be distilled into sulfuric light fuel, and then turned into light fuel, which gives a respectable
=== Bio-Diesel ===
An alternative to oil is bio diesel. Bio diesel is produced using seed oil or fish oil (from fluid extracting various seeds and plants, or fluid extracting fish), ethanol or methanol (from fermented biomass or chemical reacting CO2 or CO with hydrogen), and sodium hydroxide, from chemically reacting water and sodium, or from electrolyzing salt water. Bio diesel gives only 256,000 EU per cell, but is fully automatable and renewable. Bio diesel can be turned into cetane-boosted diesel, giving
