Thats Awsome. Let us know how clean your tips are after a few hour heating! Any other pics??

Well Im trying a new way. Here is what I have so far.
Its a old fire extinguisher with a 3" heater band and thermocouple.
3" heaterband 240v 1300W streched a little to fit the 3.25" jug.
The 1" heaterband or nozzel heater 120V 100W with aluminum spacer.
Assembled and waiting for the 1/8" pipeing return to be installed.
More of the same.

What kind of anti dirp nozzle are you using? Sounds like a good idea to prevent dripping.

It just comes with the screen and valve only, not the tip, just unscrew your old screen thing and screw this one in.

Anyone seen anything like this before? Its a nozzel heater. I will try and get more info on it but it looks like the tip will screw right in. just add wiring and maybe a thermocouple or maybe its built in?
Just a update I'm making a preheat container now and reworking a stock type nozzel, a idea Koolkris gave me was to put a heaterband around the stock tip holder! I am going to try that! if the heater band can't keep up I can just up the temperature from the preheat. Also Im running a return like kyles from the tip back instead of from the pump like I was originally doing.
The biggest thing I need to know from Kyle is what do you use to recirculate the oil from the preheat tank to the nozzel tip?? Are you using the burner pump to recirculate or something else?? Thanks
Hey kyle thanks for the correction on the wattage I should have noticed that, being that I'm a Electrican. LOL

Very nice block! Dose it still fit inside the stock tube and burner retentioner? or are you making it longer? I was lookin at the one from ckburners and they make it so long you have to extend the pipe and install a new flange. But that kit is for siphon setup.

Ok I changed a few things, I moved the thermocouple to unside the burner on the 90* fitting just b4 the nozzel.
What a differance that made!!! I got it up to 180* started it up and with a little help lots of flame!!! so I added the anti drip nozzel and that helped some with the oil spitting all over the ground after shut down.
It has some trouble with startup. I'm thinking its because the oil between the nozzel and the heater is colder.
It has to run for about a min to get the hot oil to start spraying out and then it will light and run pretty good.
When I startup the burner the nozzel will be at 180* after a bit it goes down to 130-140* because the fan is blowing on it cooling it down. I'm going to start designing a newer nozzel heater that will heat the oil right up to the nozzel tip. Something like the one found on ebay for $170 but that one is for a siphon system.

Well I got it to fire somewhat. I put a heater between the oil barrel and the filter to heat the oil, I installed a return line from the pump and added a electric pump to the return line with a valve. It took a long time to heat up basically because Im heating my whole barrel of oil. I got it up to about 100* shut the pump off closed the valve and tryed it, the nozzel was at 190* tryed it and nothing. So I turned the nozzel heat up to 300* and it started but was running kind of speratic and sputtered at times. I tryed adjusting the 2 air settings but have both of them turned down to 0 or all the way closed and it seemed that it needed less air. I will try and tape up some of the openings and see what happens. It was shotting about a 1.5' flame seemed alittle to long??? but Im using a .75 gph nozzel tip and some have said on here to use a .65 gph tip at most??? the forced air furnace im using says with fuel oil I can run up to a 1 gph tip.
I don't think the oil in the nozzel was actually 300* I just have the thermocouple in a bad spot, its right where the heater rod in attached to the pipe. so the pipe might be 300* right there but the oil down by the nozzel is probably alot less. Im going to move the thermocople farther down closer to the tip and see if that gets a better reading?
I have tryed mixing oil and diesel, before I did any modifications it burned a mix of 65% diesel to 35% oil with good results, any higher I went with the oil mixture and it started sputtering and had a bad flame.
I though about dumping some diesel or Kerosene in the oil but did not want to because I want it to run only on waste oil, Adding diesel cost money and I want it to run for free with only the inital cost of conversion and some minor mantinace cost. (Hopefully)

Guess Im the only one on here? Well I tryed it again with clean unused motor oil and it still did not work, but I think I see the problem. the oil can't flow good enough to get to the pump. looks like I will be building a preheater tank with a recirculation pump ect....

I milled down the end on the pump to make it flat
I made this out of aluminum to transfer the heat easyer,
I found this heater band on ebay for $10.00 its 300W at 240V or 150w at 120V
Its starting to go together!
Here it is back together!
I had no luck tonight, I was able to heat the oil well, but the oil would not burn?
It was vaporizing but not lighting? The pump ran good with the added preheat to thin it down,
I was running 125* preheat and 190* nozzel heat. I was going to try some differant oil?
maybe my used oil is bad? If I run diesel through it it burns great turn it back to oil and it
sputters out and dies. I have some new motor oil I was going to try and see what happens.
I have the anti drip things but have not installed it yet, not till after I get this thing figured out.
I was hoping not to have to turn it to a siphon type system but if I have to???
Any help would be great!!! Thanks

This is my current setup.
Beckett burner with lennox forced air furnace.
0.8 GPH nozzel & 1 gph spare nozzel.
I ordered a 100 psi valve to put into the nozzel tip to stop after run drip.
I ordered 2 pid digital controllers to measure and maintain a set temperature for preheat and nozzel heat. pictured below;
Working on a pump heater or a preheat of some sort.
My problems right now are when trying to run 100% waste oil the pump works the motor to hard and trips the motors built it overload. it seems to burn ok with the nozzel heater on but the fire goes out because the pump slows down and overloads the motor. I need a preheater.
I was thinking of buying a 3"x3.25"x.25" heater plate and bolting it to the end of my pump housing, the end of my pump housing holds some oil before it gose into the actual pump so that would possibly eliminate the need for a reirculation pump and electronic valves ect. (I'm trying to do it cheap but effective!)

Welcome Center / need information!!!!
« on: March 19, 2009, 08:39:39 pm »
HI Im new to the forum and am desperatly seeking information!!
My current burner;
I recived the info from donna-mike on ebay and am still trying to make it work correctly.
I have a type of nozzel heater but its kind of crude. its not controlled very well yet, I was planning to get a PID Temperature Controller to keep the oil at a very controlled temperature. but my problem is that on stright engine oil it over loads the pump and kicks off the motor overload (red button on the pump motor. I think I need to build a preheater. The oil is to thick for the pump!!?? Is it better to preheat the oil or actually heat up the pump itself??
I was thinking the between running the oil in the pump would cool and cause problems?? do you have any problem's with that? or dose the preheater work just fine?? how close is your preheater to the furnace??
I just ordered 2 pid type controller's to control my preheat and nozzel heat. so now I just need to figure out a pre heater!!! Any ideas or pictures!!
For those of you using a siphon type of system which one works better?
and why!!!
Thanks for any and all info!!

Hey KYLE nice info!! just wondering on the front of your control panel are you using the AccuRate thing?? or just the temerature controllers??? Also Im guessing one controller is for your preheat and the other the nozzel heater??
For waste engine oil what temperatures are you using??
