Waste Motor Oil / Re: I'm struggling with a DIY burner
« on: August 19, 2010, 05:36:09 am »
Harry,
Ive built my heater out of the same style cyclinder, I to have much trouble getting a decent amount of heat from it. It has a 6inch steel plate burner which is dished and sits an inch off the bottom of cyclinder. The vent pipe is approx 1 1/2 inch abve burner, Ive played around with 1/4 & 3/8 copper feed tube at various hights. It will continue to burn all day or night but continues to smoke and fails to produce heat. Ive tried some of your sugestioins but still things are not right. Any tips would be great
