Here I Am!!!
« on: October 05, 2014, 10:26:05 am »
With winter on its way in, I've been looking at alt. fuels to heat the house and came across waste oil heaters. Peaked my interest as i work as a mechanic and have access to lots of used oil at my shop.  I drew up a few plans on some napkins and might give it a go.

I'm sure I can get a wealth of info from this forum as well and contribute some of my own through my successes and well, most likely my failures but mostly have fun piecing this project together. And trying not to burn down the house while I'm at it.

When I get more of the pieces to my puzzle i'll start a thread.

Hello Mattpar.  Glad you found the site!

Yea, take a look around and figure out what type of waste oil burner you want to go with.  Do you have a direction you were thinking of going?  Drip feed MEN type, or convert a fuel oil furnace or boiler?

That would be cool if you could start a thread and show us what you are working on.

Good luck and be safe!
