All boilers need water. They use fuel to produce steam - except the simple solar boiler, which needs access to the sky and resetting every few hours instead. Different boilers have different production rates and generally use more fuel the more advanced they are. For most GT boilers 1L of water equals 150L160L of steam.
 
Non-solar boiler sides can be used for both steam or water. The bottom side only accepts water and the top only outputs steam - these are the recommended faces to use since it avoids the possibility of getting water or steam in the wrong pipe. A steady water supply, such as a [[Water Tank]], must be provided to boilers to avoid [[explosion]]s. If a boiler is allowed to heat up dry or runs out of water while heated, and water is then added to the hot boiler it will explode, potentially taking out other nearby machines.
