question about a waste oil burner

(1/8) > >>

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:
Greetings Coldblooded!

Will you be going forced air or a boiler?  Yes, Beckett burners are easy to convert, especially with CKburners kits:

The CK kit will require an air source (siphon system versus pressure system) so yes, using an air compressor will be required.

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.

Russ:
Sounds like you are on the right track for sure.

Not a forced air project, but otherwise going to be pretty similar to what you are looking at doing, check out my build here:

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?
