So, for example, one piece of charcoal (1600 burn time) in a solid-fueled firebox with 3x3x3 low-pressure boiler tanks lasts <math>1600/13.66875 \approx 117</math> ticks, and a bucket of creosote (6400 burn time<ref>ThePrior itemto version 2.5.0 "Creosote Bucket"Buckets hashad a burn time of 6400, but a bucket1000L of the same fluid "Creosote Oil" [https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/Railcraft/blob/master/src/main/java/mods/railcraft/common/modules/ModuleCore.java#L103 used to havehad a lower burn time of 4800].

Note that this math refers to the consumption at maximum heat. The fuel consumption increases with heat, but not linearly. The fuel efficiency (amount of steam generated for each unit of fuel consumed) significantly increases with heat. For example, a max-heat boiler with 3x4x3 high-pressure tanks produces twice as much steam as a similar boiler at half-heat, but it consumes only 5% more fuel. This ratio depends on the type and amount of steam tanks.

Railcraft provides a boiler multiblock. The bottom layer can be made of either solid fueled fireboxes or liquid fueled fireboxes, and the top layers can be made of either low pressure boiler tanks or high pressure boiler tanks. Solid fueledFueled fireboxesFireboxes can burn any furnace fuel. Liquid fueledFueled fireboxesFireboxes can only burn a limited number of fuels listed below.
