welcome aboard, I have no answers to your questions as I am an oil novice myself. good luck with the steam/oil project.

I have an empty lpg/gas bottle now so I'm in the process of gathering some bits and pieces and going to do a sanders style drip feed heater, as you say 10 x 16 shouldn't be to hard to heat/keep warm.

I was thinking of screening/filtering oil before or as it went in the bucket, this was going to be a belt and braces type extra filter, or do drip feed systems not need any extra filtering after the initial filter into bucket? never thought about the water trap, thanks.

thought I'd pop a question in here as you're on about oils.
does this new fangled synthetic burn well in a furnes/boiler or is mineral oil better?

I like the idea/simplicity of the roger sanders set up, but with only an area of 10 x 16 feet in my w/shop would one of those be to much (better insulation in hand), or would it be easy to scale down into a smaller package say a lpg/calour/propane type gas bottle like people make wood burners out of?
I am new to this, but at 47 and worked on the tools most of my working life I have a modderate to fair skill level, a brother who welds and a knowledge of where to get bits and bobs from and how they can work together, what I don't have is a lot of money. any idea's suggestions most appreciated.

many thanks
tony

hi all, just stumbled across the site after googleing waste oil heaters. looks like my kind of place. I will be asking lots of questions, stealing lots of ideas (why re-invent the wheel), and generally using the info on here to build my first oil burner heater.  ;D
I like the look of the roger sandersdesign but also see there are a few mods/tweeks been developed on here so I'll just have to mix and match a bit of everything see what happens  8)
off to read some more now, catch yer later.
happt easter by the way
