I've been having the same problem too, for me it seems to go away for a little while whenever I deconstruct it or when a duplicant releases the backpressure.

Its not a dealbreaker. Its just annoying. Anyone else know a workaround?

Having the same issue. I dont know of a workaround, but it usually briefly works again after a reload. It still fails again after that. Stops my sour gas boiler from working :( So i havent tested it under full load, it might only break after the output gets blocked for a time.

My work around is having it output directly into a liquid reservoir then the reservoir go into the oil pipeline. It seems to work mostly okay since the reservoir get filled from the main pipe being full when everything works

If it's the same issue I had, the problem is in building entering a "output is full" state. Workaround is to disable it with pipe content sensor when it gets full

That sounds like it might be it

I've got this issue too

You can always goto the config file and remove the modifications that make you trouble. In this case look for "OilWellCap".
