Oil can be heated up with a boiler, then piped into a steam engine to make electricity.

I would say this is not considered to be a bug for now, rather an obscure feature. It might change in the future but for now I am moving this to not a bug section.

You don't even have to heat the oil if you just want to dispose of it. Steam engines will happily dispose of 25C oil for you.

Idea: make the steam engine a more generic "fluid+electricity" building, but it USES electricity to dispose of oil instead of producing electricity from hot water.
