Has any body made a waste oil heater. I was thinking a gun from an oil furnace or somthing like that in a double barrel stove setup.

When my grandfather built his shop in Northeast Montana in the 20's, he had a setup to use up waste oil in the shop stove. They burned the local lignite coal in the stove, which was a poor quality fuel, but was cheap and easy to get by digging it out of a hillside. Grampa had a big farm and did all of his own mechanical work, as well as working on neighbors' machines. This generated a lot of dirty waste oil and solvents. To use the oil, he put a couple of barrels in the attic and over the year, filled the barrels with the dirty oil. He had installed piping down to the stove area with a valve near the stove to control oil flow. The oil entered the stove through a steel tube. The oil was turned on after the coal was burning well, and then regulated with the valve so it burned well. It was necessary to remember to turn off the oil when they left the shop for the night.

My cousins still have that farm and use the old shop for some things (kinda small for most of their modern equipment). They still are using the stove and oil system. It will heat the uninsulated shop just fine,even when it is well below zero.

I had (have, I guess IF I could find it!) a paperback entitled "Homemade Power" and it had a couple of gravity fed stove designs in it. One my neighbor built about 10 years ago was the empty barrel scene with a cast iron skillet on short legs (bricks) sitting on the bottom of the barrel. You heated the skillet up with a torch at start-up and the oil dripped into the center of the skillet which he half-filled with pea-gravel to increase the flame size; he still uses it. The other one used an old 100# propane bottle with a stove pipe coming out of the side of the bottle near the base; the tank was set horizontialy on 3ft. or so long legs. The gravitiy fed nozzle was installed in the tanks' valve port and was made up from black pipe-fittings. The nozzle had vanes welded on to it to provide turbulence for the oil-air mix. The oil fed into the outside portion of the nozzle thru a tee; the air entered at the end of the pipe, upstream of the oil tee and tank. The forced-air came from a vacuum cleaner blower connected to the nozzle with a pipe for heat isolation from the tank. This pipe also had a wastegate for air regulation. There was an access door near the nozzle end so that you could pre-heat the nozzle. The guy that built it was quoted as saying that, wide-open, he figured it put out about 5or 600,00 btu! Just sat on the floor and rocked, he said! I will try to find the book but you might give it a try on amazon, too.

I've got a 5 gallon bucket hanging from the ceiling with 1/4" copper tubing and a petcock sweated to it. Just drips onto the wood fire in the barrel stove. Climb up and pour a couple of gallons in every so often.

I just drip it onto a wood fire. The wood fire keeps it hot enough to burn clean, this stretches out my wood supply.
