Has anyone here ever had any success running a standard oil furness burner on waste oil???
Through experimentation I've proved to my satisfaction that 10W-30 will definately NOT work at room temperature, just makes a sputtering mess coming outta the nozzle. After doing some research it looks like if I heat lubricating oil to around the boiling point of water the viscosity will drop to about the same as #2 furness oil, which should take care of the spray pattern, but I'm not sure if the igniter will light it off. I'd experiment a bit more but I can't figure a way to keep the oil hot as it goes through the pump/nozzle- from the experiments I've found that they really don't get all that hot while running.
Has anyone here tried running their furness on used cooking oil? Thats juat a WAG on my part that it might work but I know some people manage to run diesels on the the stuff.
All replies before either The Freeze sets in and/or I Blow Myself Up appreaciated.
