I have updated the model a little but heres what it does:
First it extract the Lava (And pineapple that was a pretty pineappleing big lava lake and theres still left >.>), then send it to the pipes to some tanks to fuel other BC combustion engines when needed, and the rest its send to a bucket filler (Feed it with Water/Oil/Fuel/Lava and a Bucket and it fills the bucket when powered), then the bucket filler sends the filled lava bucket to a allocator (Its a Redpower2 machine with a 3x3 grid for putting items, and when it receives a Redstone signal it will try to use/place whatever its inside) that uses the lava bucket to place a lava source directly bellow the Industrial Craft pump (A pump that can only suck the Water/Lava block below but can put it on Buckets or more importantly Cells), after it sucks the lava and transform it to a lava cell it expulse the cell on the only open space (To the side, and it expulse it because it doesnt work with BC pipes sadly) then i make use of a obsidian pipe/Transponder to suck up that cell and put it on a nearby Chest for storage.
So far with this little thing i have made about... 960 Lava cells
and can still produce a pineappleing lot more.
Its because these mods are Standalone, ergo they dont have dependency from other mods (Beside modloader and forge ofcourse) since each of these mods are made from different developers.
But that doesnt mean they can interact with other mods, BC its a fine example of this, you just need to find/make new machines to take energy from one of these mods to transform it to energy from another mod (Theres a Industrial Craft Addon called Dynamo that transform mechanical energy from Better than wolves to Industrial Craft energy and viceversa).
If i knew how to code in java and how to mod in minecraft i would make a BC Electrical engine that works with the same potency of a steam engine but uses IC Electricity to work. (I would also make a better Recipe book since i have like 800 recipes in the game >.>)

You know how many of the big mods need some sort of energy to run their stuff, but that each mod has its own kind of energy? Why can't it be universal or something? :/ Something like... take the energy part from IndustrialCraft and make it its own mod, and then have all other mods depend on that in terms of energy distribution and a sole energy unit while letting other mods have their own ways of producing said energy?
Anywho, am enjoying 1.9pre4. And I actually found a way to get out of The End in Creative mode...
