Are there any other fluids we can use in the oil-burning boilers? I'm playing w/Angels, and I'd love to be able to use Butane, natural gas, etc.

If you have tiny bit of lua editing skills you can either make your own tiny mod, or extract for example angels petrochem mod and add something like:
data.raw.fluid["gas-butane"].fuel_value = "2.3MJ"
to the data-final-fixes.lua

2.3MJ is same value as Bob gives to methane gas, and afaik most natural gas variants have pretty similar fuel values so i just left all the same.
My base is running mostly on butane atm since i dont have t3 plastic yet.

I don't know anything about angel's, but I have a mod that introduces burnable natural gas and methane, makes the vanilla fluids burnable, and lets you turn any chemical fuel into syngas and other fluids for burning and making products: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/adamo-carbon
