Ok. I'm going to get a steel drum and weld a 3/8 nipple on it and attach a shutoff and line.

What is a good size line to use between my steel drum oil storage tank and the ammo box? Can I go with 1/4 inch, or is a different size better? Thanks

OK, sounds good. Somebody else also said it's a fiber liner and I shouldn't scrape it off.
What can you tell me about the air supply that is needed? What's the PSI and cfm? Is it better to have a little on board compressor to supply the air? I don't know what would work.
Thanks.

I bought a used Thermaflow fuel oil furnace to convert to waste oil. What's that white stuff in the burn chamber? Should I scrape it out? Thanks.

OK. I found one for $75. I think he said it worked for a while, but it got so he had to keep resetting something to get it to fire and he gave up. I'll re-read your post about your boiler project, and as time goes on, probably be asking more questions. Thanks for your reply!

I’m looking to buy a used Thermaflow fuel oil furnace with a round burn chamber that is 17" in diameter. Is this suitable for a waste oil conversion? I heard that the burn chamber should be at least 12". Is that 12" in front of where the flame starts? How far does the burner stick into the burn chamber? Thanks.

I'm looking to buy a used Williamson fuel oil furnace in very good condition with an AF burner for $200 to convert to waste oil. 119,000 BTU I think. Do you think I'll be able to measure the combustion chamber when I go look at it? Any suggestions? Should I buy it?

Hi Russ,
Yes, it would be a forced air system. I'm shopping around for a used fuel oil furnace on Facebook to convert to waste oil. I've looked into the CK kits. It looks like they currently have a kit for $320 and a better one for $650. I understand I should look for a fuel oil furnace with a Beckett AFG or AF burner, and the combustion chamber should be at least 12 inches deep.
Thanks for your reply and any advise would be appreciated.

Hello, I'm new to waste oil burners. I'm shopping around for an oil furnace to convert to waste oil. Can I get some advise on what to look for? Would one with a Beckett BF3 be a good choice? Also, will I be hooking up my compressor to it? Thanks.
