One Aqueous Accumulator not supplying enough water for one combustion engine.

[zorn]

I put one accumulator on each engine, just to be safe. Ive read that one accumulator can easily supply two combustion engines, but I wanted overkill.

I had setup a refinery a few times with no problems, now after relocating it, it overheats every time. It will run fine up to 4900-C temp, and then immediately the accumulator will run out of water, then the engine. As soon as I turn the engine on, the accumulator fills up, and then the engine again.

I even added gold waterproof pipe, just in case it was the problem, but i still have hte issue. Im at a loss, as ive had two combustion engines running on a quarry with no problems. Any ideas?

You know, I REALLY didn't think you could just plug a gold waterproof pipe into an aqueous accumulator. Maybe I'm crazy, but I REALLY think that a wooden waterproof pipe + a redstone engine to pump it is the right solution.

CanVox, A.A's automatically eject water.

OP, does this happen when the refinery doesn't have anything to do? Is there an energy buildup inside the engine which is often the cause for fast overheating of BC engines?

How many water source blocks is it adjacent to? TE more it has, the faster it creates water. If you put one on all but one side it'll generate water pretty fast, and should definitely be able to cool an engine provided that all the power in that engine is used up fast enough.

@Canvox, ive just used waterproof pipe so far with no problems. You can just put the engine right on the accumulator, but then you cant walk by and see the pipe being low on water, which was a habit of mine when usingg pumps to get water to engines.

@Miner: the refinery is full of oil, and producing fuel while the engine heats up. I thought one combustion engine would not fully power a refinery (which is fine) so i felt i was safe in not just wasting/building up energy.

@proIo: read that you needed at least two water blocks adjacent to the accumulator, so I put 3. This has worked perfect so far. I even added another block of water on the other side of the accumulator, still no luck. I could try adding more water, but with 3 other combustion engines, this setup has worked fine. I even set up another engine to run a few other machines, and it runs fine, with just 3 adjacent water blocks.

Also, I ran this exact setup (other than placed in different spots, like that I had the engine behind the refinery, not under it) and it worked just fine. Im thinking its a glitch or something.
