I know why they dont work, it is simply because they dont transmit enough energy to go in the conductive pipe. Until you get a steam engine just place the redstone engine right next to what needs power. If that doesnt work just skip that and build a steam engine. But what the problem is that redstone engines do not output as much power as the other ones, they're c**p

They dont work right next to refinery's either, because what i just said. So just  use the engines for transport pipes and use a steam engine or combustion engine (even though the combustion engines arent recommended, i havent had ONE that hasnt blown up.) for conductive pipes.
