« on: October 05, 2012, 10:47:12 pm »
is anyone using the gast gun-style oil burner compressor on the siphon
system ? Ive heard its noisy and for 300 dollars is it worth it.it
mounts right to the burner and gets driven by blower motor . or does
everybody use stand alone compressors and what type.

Waste Motor Oil / Is it possible? Combustion chamber size?
« on: January 07, 2012, 11:15:01 pm »
I have read enough to know that combustion chamber size is critical
with siphon setups. I wonder, could I make a setup for my Miller
Mobile Home furnace in my workshop? I don't even know what kind of
burner to buy for experimenting.

The other thing that has been crossing my mind is to get a boiler for
out there and run WVO in it. There are lines going back into the
house that used to heat the workshop with the home furnace. Maybe I
could make an outdoor furnace like the wood ones that are advertised.

Then again, I'm FORBIDDEN from starting any new projects until I get
the living room and dining room remodeled. Doesn't stop me from
thinking though.
