Waste Oil Heater > Fuel Oil Furnaces

Do all waste oil furnaces use compressed air?

(1/1)

coldblooded:
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.

Russ:
No, not all require air, but siphon is superior to a pressure system.  My first system used pressure using the same oil pump that the burner came with.  Pressure works great with clean fuel oil, but not so well for waste oil.  I believe most commercial waste oil burners will have a siphon system.  I'd definitely look into the CK conversion kit.  Makes the burner into a siphon system with ease.
