Ok I play on a server and started messing with pumps. I got a water pump going and such.

But when I go to pump oil this happens.

They are at full force and nothing. So I went to single player and started messing with it.

And it worked using the same thing.

So what am I doing wrong? D:<

I would like to start making fuel without moving oil by the bucket.

Any help would be nice.

There's a good chance that's not oil, and is actually sludge. Try using a bucket on it and seeing what the resulting filled bucket is named.

That's not oil, it's sludge. I believe sludge can only be picked up with a bucket. A good rule of thumb is that sludge is transparent while oil is completely opaque.

Yes, it does. Not sure how that's relevant, though.

A much easier alternative to what he is doing? How is that not relevant?

Ah, now I see what you mean. But I'm pretty sure he was trying to pump oil, which it turned out to be sludge.

Honestly, what's the point of oil fabricators anyway? They need energy, and produce oil. What are you going to do with that oil? Produce energy?

I figured he was making fuel for a rocket. Yes a fabricator would not be a good idea if you want oil as the source of your power. Using oil for power is too much of a pain in the arse imo.
