Most used motor oils are reused in ship engines that use Bunker Fuel.EPA wont let truck owners burn it,but Tugboats can.

 

A buddy of mine that has owns a tranny shop has a "regular" wood stove and mounted to the top about 4 ft above the stove a piece of 8" x prob 2 1/2' long piece of round pipe with the bottom capped and and a removable cap on the top then a piece of 1/4" copper tubing plumbed from the bottom of the pipe to the top of the stove with a valve in between to regulate flow into the stove the set up will hold prob about 4 or 5 gal at a time and not sure how long will take to burn it off but thats how he gets rid of his used oil. Sorry dont have pics of it but seems to work pretty good he has a 60x40 shop and that is what he heats the shop with during the winter. Just a thought

 

So he's just drippin the oil on the wood to burn then if I understand right. I know in the past I've soaked logs in oil when I wanted to make me last longer in the stove and it seems to work ok, just smokes like hell.

 

Wonder if they relabel some of it for heating oil for all the Easterners that burn the Heating oil/Kerosene/Diesel Fuel/Coal oil or whatever else they call it these days to use.

 

Speaking of used motor oils,I plan to purchase a heater for my house.
I will build a dog house large enough to hold it,and channel the hot air into my ductwork.Not legal in a home,no insurance.
I will then apply heater to fuel tank and lines(like a veggie conversion).The Heater is $2000.This would save me $150 a month for 6 months.

 

Years ago my Dad built a waste oil burner on his shop furnace. He took the burner out of a fuel oil furnace and changed the mister, hooked an air line that mixed high pressure air with the fuel mist and it burnt really well. A couple times a week he would have to clean the carbon build up off the ignitor. I currently use my used oil on chains like on my hay elevator or manure spreader web. I will dump a gallon on the entire manure spreader floor when I start hauling manure each day and will dump a gallon on and run the web empty when I park it for an extended period to keep the wood floor sealed. Also I will mix it with fuel oil for fire starter or take a quart bottle and throw it in my outdoor wood furnace when I got a good hot fire going.

 

Castrol is not recycled oil, It accually rates very close to Amzoil.I've been using Castrol for 35 years with very good results.

 

I used to burn mine in a Reznor heater until last summer I had a guy offer me 75¢ a gallon for it, now I just have him come once a month and suck our tank dry and use the money from it to run the natural gas furnace, its less BS

 

I made the mistake of tryin to blend it in with the diesel fuel salamander heater we use, BIG MISTAKE. I only mixed a gallon of filtered oil in with 15 gallons of diesel and it made one hell of a mess of the heater and fried the $50 igniter.

I'd be tickled pink for $.75 a gallon out of it, I got another 30 gallons waitin to go now.

 

We finally got around to hookin up a 10 Micron filter up to run the oil through and I'm burnin it in my old tractor using a 1 gal of oil to 10 gal of diesel mix. No smoke, no power loss and I'm usin the stuff instead of givin it away, I'm a happy camper.

Still not ready to dump it into the 24V yet.
