Waste oil heater: http://youtu.be/NJfco0QHvCk
Fired it up today. Got the burner to 1000° without the oil pooling up in the pan. It was burning instantly. Seemed to have good draft but the smoke was still a Lil dark I think. It was so cold out that I had to heat the oil line with my map gas torch to get it to flow so the heater would take off.

The primary burner in both videos has on 3 half inch holes and the half inch pipe thread hole that the oil drips in. One is with the secondary burner with hole and another without. Looks I got less smoke out of the tube without the holes.
Those videos look the same(have the same address also:)).
Yeah it is. Her is the other one. Waste oil burner test: http://youtu.be/H2i0gkhDwBo

They are 1/2" holes. I could try blocking some off and see what that does. I did notice when I slid the rotor off the pan to get more air the smoke good t darker.

Here's a video. I have to keep the rotor slid off the pot a little for it to get this hot when its inside the tank.

I think I got it resize enough. Does the height of the secondary matter? This one is 12" tall

Yeah kinda. I've watched all his videos. Mine don't have the steel plate at the top of the burner that seperates the burner from the heat chamber. That might be what I need. I was looking into the roger sanders version with the blower motor too. I would post pics but all my pics are too large of a file. I need to make them smaller.

Does the exhaust have to be larger than the secondary burner tube? My exhaust is a hair smaller.

« on: December 16, 2014, 05:10:58 pm »I am building my own waste oil burning heater. I have done a lot of research and I am using ideas from all different designs. I have an 80 gal air compressor tank. I have built an Ozzirt style burner and placed it inside the tank. I know the ozzirt burner isn't made to be inside the tank but I was going to ad a blower fan. The burner isn't burning as clean as have seen others burn clean. I left the vents in the rotor open and drilled 6 holes in the rotor. Should I weld the vents closed and keep just the drilled holes? Should I drill more holes in the secondary burn tube? Or should I scrap my idea and mount the burner on the bottom of the tank so it is outside the tank like the original ozzirt hetaer? Any help is appreciated.
