cool, I've been working with engines and generators.
I'm going to build some nodes later. I need to make the smelter as well.

I'm still using sterling engines as a primary source of power. The nearest oil well to me is 900m and I just realized i can't move a full drum, even with a diamond dolly.

Look up crucibles and magmatic dynamos. This is a seriously easy way to get a very high powered energy setup that costs nothing and is completely automated after it is built. Plus it's seriously cheap. Invar is the most expensive part.

I have 1 cobblestone generator feeding 12 crucibles that are feeding 8 magmatic dynamos and I can add more magmatic dynamos because I haven't hit my lava production limit yet. The cobblestone generator has plenty of room for more crucibles as well.

setup is lava/water creating cobble. Use item transfer node with world interaction on the cobble creation point to transport pipes that dump cobble into the top of all the crucibles. Power the crucibles with netherrack lit on fire underneath it with flint/steel. Liquid transfer node out the side of the crucibles to feed transport pipes to the magmatic dynamos and then pull your energy off the dynamos.

Have you tried shift+right-clicking with a wrench? I've picked up a full lava drum with the blue handled wrench from NEI. Just make sure you have a spot in your inventory for it as it will pop it into an item to be picked up.

Drums can be picked up with a wrench or broken with a pick. Dollys are only used to move containers with items in them such as chests and barrels as well as mob spawners.
