Waste Motor Oil / Re: New and have questions!
« on: April 21, 2018, 08:05:23 am »
a drip stove with oil tank so close as in your picture will be hard to control, as oil gets warmer it will flow faster, i would think you would want oil reservoir further away from heater to try and get more of controllable flow and not affected by rising temps of the heater

do you have all the parts that the break down shows ? they call it a cumbustion ring, what happened to your cabinet? the break down shows a cabinet wit a fan, the fan helps push cumbustion air into your burning pot wich allows a hotter fire

i dont use any supply of kerosene, i dump about a cup into the pot to light and get started and thats all i use, i dont have any fuel going in the carburetor.
my metering pump is a small variable speed motor coupled to a small pump, so you can adjust the flow rate of oil. these are used on commercial  waste oil heaters, i will try to post a picture of my pump soon

have you cleaned out the burn chamber ? my crown boiler has many passages the exhaust travels through to heat the water, maybe your boiler is starting to plug up with white chauky ash????

i agree with doug, muphys selling point with his heater is (no nozzels to plug) does he recommend 80 psi ? that seems high, i have read several post from people that built his heater and never heard of nozzel plugging, i have talked to paul (aka murphy) more than a dozen times on the phone and he has allways been more than happy to answer questions

i have a couple of those old heaters, on mine, the line that comes out of the carb had a tee with a plug, i just took the plug out and hooked in a hose that came from my meter pump, when i started it i put a cup of diesel inside in the pot and lit with newspaper and started feeding oil,after it got going and warmed up it had no smoke just heat wave out of chimney,
 the one i have has a cabinet around burn chamber, and has a fan that blows warm air out as well as provides combustion air
having a metering pump that you can adjust and maintain steady flow of oil is the key! using a needle valve to adjust oil flow does not work well as the oil viscosity changes with the temp of the room
does your heater have some sort of diffuser plate above the burning pot ? mine has one that makes flame swirl to burn better

Waste Oil Filtering / Re: Auto Filters
« on: January 09, 2012, 07:52:19 am »
i use a lenz filter, it has a stainless steal element you can clean, so after you buy it, no more elements to buy, you can get them on ebay, the one i use is a dh750 100,
if you use a large oil tank (200+ gallon) and only draw 6-8 inches from bottom, alot of your oil particles will settle to the bottom of the tank, if you draw directly off the bottom your filter will plug much faster!
