What's more efficient running biofuel into a biofuel generator or combustion engine?

[Euphoreich]

I can't find any numbers on this. Also on a tangent why is it called a biofuel generator shouldn't it be called the bioreactor since it is reacting the biofuel? And shouldn't the biofuel generator being the one generating biofuel?

Make a single player creative world and test it. If you can post your results and/or add the info to the wiki I'm sure people would be thankful.

It is a generator which runs on biofuel. Hence, a biofuel generator.

After some brief testing it would appear combustion engines don't accept biofuel lol. I assumed it was the same as forestry's, I guess not.

Now you've got your answer and now so does everyone else who was curious. This was good science.

After measuring it, biofuelgenerators seem to create 15.2 MJ/tick 2.5 times quicker than a combustion engine running on fuel. One bucket of biofuel will produce 152000 MJ.

So relative to combustion engines, their fuel is cheaper, they run 2.5 times faster, they don't randomly explode, and don't require constant water. That's makes it tekkits top tier engine I guess.

Combustion engines run a lot longer than that I believe; one bucket of fuel should net you 600,000 MJ at 6 MJ/t. A total of 83.333 minutes of power.

Edit: Given Euphoreich's numbers, a biofuel generator will only give you 8.333 minutes of power - albeit at a much higher MJ/s rate.
