Waste Motor Oil / Out of oil for the season?
« on: April 08, 2011, 11:17:04 pm »
Well, temps here are hitting 50 and the waste oil burning season is pretty much over. Did everyone deplete their supply of waste oil over the winter? I think I have about 75 gallons left yet.
Thanks to everyone for keeping the board active over the winter. I'm guessing things will be pretty quiet over the summer here. More chat next year!!

Temp Controllers and Thermocouples / Re: PID help
« on: April 08, 2011, 11:13:28 pm »
Yes, what Dead Eye said. The PID I use has an alarm contact that is normally open and closes at a set temp, turning the burner on. I havent automated my system to this point yet, but the alarm function is there. Although this wont help with the lag time.

Thanks for stopping by. Good luck with your project. The forum is kind of slowing down now for the year. Be sure to stop back again this fall when the activity starts up again.

Welcome Center / Re: What to do when oil heater throws smoke ?
« on: March 26, 2011, 06:10:00 pm »
Smoke in the house isnt good! I would say that your draft isnt pulling the smoke out the stack properly. Or maybe you are producing too much smoke? Does your stack look like a burning tire?

Very interesting. Cant wait to see how it works out for you. Lots of custom stuff out here, but mostly drip style. Thanks for sharing!

I split this into its own topic, as it is probably a good discussion on its own but doesn't necessarily pertain to the building aspect of the sanders heater.

Board Suggestions / Re: new logo

I wasnt sure if anyone would notice, cool! There is a lot of talk out here about drip style heaters, so I thought I better change it from "Shooting oil" which doesnt really apply to all the different ways of burning waste oil, to something more fitting for all the different types. Thanks for noticing!

Waste Oil Filtering / Re: settle or filter
« on: January 13, 2011, 09:33:47 pm »
With a drip system I dont think you need to be nearly as picky when it comes to filtering as you dont have a tip that will get plugged. Keep the big chunks out that could plug your line, but other than that I would think you should be good. Not sure what to tell you about other things mixed with the oil.

Fuel Pre-Heaters / Re: waste oil pre heater thoughts
« on: January 12, 2011, 11:01:37 pm »
I would recommend a 500w heater. A friend recently burnt his 500w out and replaced it with a 300w and he is going to remove it and put a 500w back in. He said it takes a really long time to heat up the block if the garage is cold. Is there a reason you want to go that small?

Yes, welcome. Glad you stopped by. Cold in TN? Hmm.... I didn't thing it got that cold around those parts. Well, the waste oil should definitely help keep you warm, and on the cheap too! Stay safe and have fun.
