Try to blend but be aware of stratification in the tank.
that could be a problem if there was no mixing but don't most (or all) commercial waste oil burners recirculate some of the oil pumped to the burner back to the supply tank?

My Lanair when operating,  appears to return more than 50%% of the oil pumped to the low pressure regulator back to the tank resulting in constant mixing

 I've seen in cases that is not enough to take care of stratification. If the tank is in a cold place makes it even worse.

 Shut unit down for the night for instance. Sometimes you must have to burn through that layer in the morning.

Waste oil is liquified tires.  Make it easy and start slicing up some Goodyears.

Chamber to small. These burners need alot of room for the flame.

So it is an old thread. However, never run a waste oil burner in an oil furnace!

Motorcycles use synthetics. The flash point will be higher than the oil from the diesel shop. Try to blend but be aware of stratification in the tank.
