With a short calculation one may understand that automated Fuel cans production for generator supplying isn't worth setting up in Tekkit :

1 coal = 4000 EU

1 Fuel Can = 76440 EU, needing a macerator, autocracft tables (2x), Compressor, Extractor and a Caning machine plus 6 coals (required to fill 1 Fuel Can) and 2 empty cells.

Using an energy converter, one can use 1 coal to produce 4 charcoals worth 4 x 4000=16 000 EU without further needs than a basic transport pipes setting. Using this way to produce EU, 6 coals (the amount needed to produce one Fuel Can) are worth 6 x 16 000= 96 000 EU, making the Fuel Can production totally useless.
