If you are asking a question to answer whether you can use a Lava Fabricator to bucket lava. The answer is yes; if set up correctly.

Since you can't take a functioning Lava Fabricator on the go, you can--however--set up a Lava Fabricator at your home, or within somewhere of comfort.

The concept is rather easy to replicate, as it only consumes EU and outputs Lava.

Just connect a Lava Fabricator to an EU line, and connect a Tank to the Lava Fabricator via Waterproof Pipes; no Wooden Waterproof Pipes are needed. Bucket the lava by right clicking the tank with an empty bucket as you would with an active lava source. Right click the tank with a lava bucket if you want to pour it back in; as long as the tank isnt full, it will accept the inserted lava.

It takes quite the amount of EU to generate 1 bucket of lava at 55,000EU.

Running 1 Lava Fabricator at a max input of 250EU/t, it will generate 1 bucket of lava per 11 seconds (220ticks). For faster operation, it's best to just up the amount of Lava Fabricators so you get faster output, faster results.
