Simple maintenance airlock into high pressure chamber

Caveat is, it's not heat seal. It can't stay there for long but if you just need to do something small it's relatively easy to do and undo. Just remember when closing the chamber, build the tiles in opposite order, don't build them at once or the petroleum might end up inside.

Edit: update and warning: apparently the puddle still slides to the side when a tile is built over it, not upwards. In my case it went to the right and the chamber stayed clean. I believe it will go preferably to the right if it can go there (e.g. the gas has somewhere to go to make room for it). So be careful when closing the chamber and if possible perhaps build one tile on the inside from the puddle first to make sure it will not fall the wrong way.

Handy trick, though I'd probably remove it after each use.

Some petrol or crude oil on the inside is actually just nice to have.

Heat doesn’t transfer diagonally (unless with tempshift), so it can stay.

When the entry is open (last image), the puddle is to the right of a tile of hot steam, that's the point when the heat starts leaking out.

Ah ok. By the way, it’s a lot easier to do this if you just drip petrol on the outer tile and deconstruct diagonally. Reconstructing will never shove petrol into the room by accident this way.

Harder to do with your narrow ladder, though.
