Another Newbee

Good day.
I currently burn #2 oil in a thermo pride home forced air furnace to warm up the shop.
Would like to start burning used motor oil for heat.
I have a second furnace to do a conversion. It is also a thermo pride forced air furnace. Rated for 106k btu input. The label states .75 gph.
 It has a beckett burner
. The blast tube is 9 inches long from the mount flange  and the distance to the back of the burn chamber is another 9 inches.
Will this furnace be a good candidate to convert or is there a better one to be looking for?
Also I am leery of using a float tank. Can a metering pump be set up to feed a siphon nozzle?

Have a good day

Hi Al, will have alot of impingement problems with those small furnaces. Waste oil flames need room.

I use a metering pump with a siphon nozzle. I don't like the idea of a float tank either.

I dont have much experience on the blast tube distance, but I agree with Doug on the metering pump.  I had a CL tank make a mess once and thats all it took to convince me.
