Be warned, this thing blew up a large part of my setup -twice-, because of the strange way water works.

First: Having a 2x2 infinite water source for the pump bugged it out for some reason, causing the pump to stop and the engine to explode, and my machines and pipes to break (the explosion is very big). This was not due to chunk loading as I had a World Anchor near the pump.

Second: I moved my pump to my quarries which were chockful of water. Then I found out the water apparently got drained all the way down to bedrock in a manner of minutes; I did not act quick enough as I thought it would stabilize, but it didn't and the engine blew again. It was really strange seeing all the water get out of my quarry so fast, probably something to do with a lack of source blocks.

Anyway it's now sitting in a reinforced stone encasing with just exits for pipes. Means I can't actually look at the engine, but who cares - if my water tanks are empty the engine needs to be shut down, and fuel can just be fed to the pump as it won't overflow anyway.

I REALLY hope this will work.
