I was thinking of getting a waste oil burner to get rid of my old oil, and wondered if the waste from parts cleaning, which contains kerosene and Gunk, can be burned?

Hi dennis,

You need to watch what you burn when it comes to cleaning agents (chemicals). I haven't researched Gunk but some of the off gasses from cleaners are very deadly in small amounts when burned.

If in doubt delute at a very high ratio or dispose at the proper waste disposial.

A waste oil burner is great, but your right in thinking NO kerosene, gunk, and the one I had to learn the hard way, NO synthetic oil. They don't really care for 80-90 either, unless you tinker with the flow settings. Motor oil is the easiest way, cause when you get it set you can leave it alone. They require a lot of cleaning but are great heat. I too feed my wood with used oil, works great. Just a drip feed gravity system. Stay warm!

I drip waste oil on the wood fire in my shop wood stove. The wood fire keeps the oil burning good and hot, cleaner burn than jsut oil. There are waste oil burners that don't have this problem I guess but I already had the wood stove and want to be able to burn wood most of the time. This works for me.

Could you describe how you rigged this system up? I've thought about setting up something like this myself, but I've never been very comfortable with using a drip tube. Always been concerned about managing to get a fire going back up the tube or such.

Hi Nolan,

Once saw a wood stove that also was fed with motor oil. he had spot welded the top link of a short section of chain into the top of the stove. then drilled a feed hold through the top of the stove. mounted a threaded steel fitting, "pig tailed" some copper feed tubing. attached the feed tube to the fitting and dripped oil onto the preheated chain. the oil used the chain as a burning grate.

I have another friend that made an atomizing nozzle and uses compressed air to power the burner. BIG flame. he uses it to fire a 1000 gallon water tank. fires it for about 8 hours then shuts it down. has enough hot water to heat his shop and house for a day or so. He's one of these guys that can take nothing and build anything. i sometimes wonder where he would be if he had a chance to go to an engineering school.
