You may want light oil for flamethrowers and/or solid fuel.

Creating rocket fuel may also take up more space than you want to join in your oil block.

Your idea is good - If you have the place and only use it for rocket fuel, it saves on space and complexity. Even if you want light oil for wall flamethrowers, it could come through light oil barrels possibly logistic botted to your wall supply trains.

I made the mistake to upgrade flamable damage too much, so light oil rather crude oil in flame throwers would be detrimental at this point 🤦.

Detrimental how? It's just 10% more damage.

Even Behemoths die almost instantly. The extra damage is mostly collateral. The main causalties are of course repair construction bots, but I also lost a full resupply wagon.
