Is there a way to automatically pump liquids into buckets?

As the title says, is there a way? Using the tekkit multiplayer version technic pack.

IC2 pump next to a chest will fill empty buckets. Just place it over an infinite water source block or on top of a BC tank.

IC2 pump simulates an empty bucket right clicking on whatever is directly below it.

Well, I've placed a chest next to the pump filled with buckets but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

By the way, I'm trying this with oil. Does that change the procedure?

[Neowulf]

Use a BC pump to move it into a a tank, then try the IC2 pump.

Oil is BC, so IC2 might not work. If it doesn't work use a deployer to fill the buckets from the tank and a filter to pull full buckets from the deployer. Use whatever setup you want to send empty buckets back.

Also, oil may act like water but it doesn't create infinite source blocks. And you can't fill a bucket from flowing liquids, just the source blocks.

A redpower pump will do this if you pump to a 1x1x1 hole and use a deployer with buckets to it. Think it works for oil too.
