An oil power plant is being built near the oil industry, but it runs out of fuel.

[yykk0532]

I built an oil power plant near the oil industry, but the oil is not supplied and it is empty.
When I checked with the Building Vehicle Monitor, it seems that the supply is from a distant freight station and it can not be supplied due to traffic jams because it is far away.
How can I get it from the oil industry?

Are you using the Industries DLC?

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

IIRC, you'd need to plonk down a warehouse next to your Oil Power Plant, same with Coal Power, so your Oil extractors have a place to store the resource next to your power plant.

[Ripp]

Warehouses son, lots of warehouses. Although I actually prefer to use the Fusion Power Plant myself.

[Marlinspike]

When placing the warehouse, what options should be selected?

[Marlinspike]

Oil power plants don’t indicate what they consume.

Do they consume generic goods in absence of specialized oil industry?

With the DLC, do they consume raw oil? Or intermediate petroleum? Or unique fuel?

Place a petroleum warehouse and oil storage tank near your power plant and don't sweat it.

I mean, the name "Oil Power Plant" Kinda gives it away, but I get where you are coming from. They only consume oil resources to produce power, whether the source is oil industries, recycling plants, or out of city deliveries. With industries DLC the power plant will only use unprocessed oil, not their refined versions (plastic/petroleum).

As for the warehouse, I'd probably suggest setting it to "Fill" and the stored resource set to "Oil" (obviously)

Well it's not all the "obviously" because there isn't an entry in the dropdown called "Oil" the way there is for "Flour" or "Glass" -- there's just "Zoned Industry - Oil Products".

Not to mention that a "Small Log Yard" and a "Saw Dust Storage" store the same thing, so the approach of "look at the name" doesn't really help.

Basically to store the basic goods for an industry (Farming, ore, oil or forestry) the general warehouses will usually not handle them in all the cases.
What do you do? Well if you check the industries and click under the various categories of Oil, farming, ore or forestry they all have their respective warehouses.
Farming industries have the barn / grain silos for "crops"
Ore related have their pits.
Forestry have their own
Oil finally, have their tank farms.
You plonk down these to get the storage of the raw products.

Unless they've changed it power plant fuel is an import. You can't make the stuff. There are better plants than oil that don't use anything fuel, like coal or oil.

Just for my own education, are you specifically talking about an industries DLC? I aks because I'm playing around with forestry districts and I haven't seen any warehouses for them

[John]

I believe CMDR Sweeper is talking about storage not warehouses. While they are similar warehouses and storage facilities are not the same thing. In forestry i think you'd be looking at dust and or chips.

Extractors from either Specialized Zoned Industry or the Industries DLC send their “raw resources” to Specialized or Industries Processors, sometimes directly to Unique Factories (Industry DLC), or directly to Export.

"Power plants: An exception to this supply chain are the coal and oil power plants which consume, respectively, unprocessed ore and oil."

(and)

"Coal and Oil based power … plants require their fuel supplies to be regularly replenished, so if there is traffic congestion in the city these buildings will cease production when fuel supplies run out. They should be placed very close to a good highway access point to mitigate this problem."

Then place a small crude oil storage tank farm nearby.
