I have the same one in my shop for the last 35years. the heat exchanger finally went so i am getting a new one soon. They saved me thousands over the years in gas bills.
I would still put a simple Carbon monoxide CO Meter on the shop wall next to this furnace and keep an eye on the CO levels just in case of a malfunction..You are combusting pure hydrocarbons here for heating and the biproducts are very dangerous toxic gases.
I don’t think I’ve seen that kind of furnace before. I’ve seen regular oil furnaces that have huge 200-300 gallon tanks underground. It runs in red diesel oil. Not that kind you use with oil filter, used oil and other byproducts fo run that furnace. Basically you’re getting free heat.
@@JimsEquipmentShed more than 20 years 4 sure. If u wanna burn waste oil here, unit must include serious exhaust gas scrubbing, really like an industrial set up
Looks like a great way to burn up used oil and not pay to have it removed. Looks like a great idea! This makes so much sense I bet it's completely illegal in California.
Lisle has a Pad that fits into your drain pan funnel, Lisle NO SPLITTER Pad part # for the round one was 38757, also helps with filtering. I sure like your heating system.
Nice one Work at a garage in the North of UK in 1984 to 87 We had an oil burner had a tank on the side and dripped the oil on a plate with a fan to help it burn. Also, use an oily rag to start it.
I drink your milkshake!! Amazing the cost of the stack more than the unit. I have the same color coded deep sockets inadvertently cameod at the end. Love em even though the color fades
get the oil from a fish and chip shop out of the deep fryers,you will be hungry all day.a guy in australia run it in an old fordson tractor and it smells like fish and chips at the exhaust.
I’m doing the timing belt change on my car right now and it’s been snowing quite a bit. It sucks to say the least. Turning a wrench is hard when you can’t feel your fingers!
I am wondering how many BTUs the furnace rating per hour ?? You said you use one hundred gallons a year. That is just fantastic and cheap. What improvements did you make to the waste oil heater ??? Did you insulate your shop of 3000 square feet ??? One more thing, why did you have to get a permit to use the heater ???? Thanks for you time Sir. Peace vf
Safely dispose of waste oil and keep the shop warm and comfortable...sounds like a win/win. I can't imagine what it would cost to heat that many cubic feet using natural gas or propane for a winter, but I'm sure that heater has paid for itself many times over.
Have you heard about the used oil furnace from 1950's that ran on water? Patent was issued to army service men in Texas for only adding water line to T fitting for used oil burner on used jeep engine oil, to get 50% increase in efficiency. That was not what was written in their application for Patent. SS coil tubing in brick insulated firepot of oil burner hooked to input common water line. Oil furnace started. Oil line has spring operated check one way valve. Temperature gauge monitored for temp up to 1500 degrees F. Then valve opened so as superheated steam is allowed in T fitting with oil to tiny nozzle. Nice burn flame runs constant. Then oil line shut off. Furnace still runs. Shock wave from 90 lbs pressure to zero AMBIENT in fire-pot forms Hydrogen and Oxygen torch flame that also heats heat exchanger. Normally water molecules separate at about 3000-6000 degrees which is too much energy. The vibration shock wave allows for disassociation at lower temperature. Electric motor with dual shafts ran 2 oil pumps at 90lbs. If water shut off, and cooled down, then furnace has to be restarted on oil. A much smaller unit in crate was shown to a US senator in Washington building underground parking , as an open trunk display. This was somewhat similar to the propane operated camping stove with circular pores, vertical round fire brick insulated chimney, and interior SS tubing of water. When steam introduced to T fitting, the fuel used was shut down leaving burning circular torch flames. It probably used minerals free distilled water so as nozzle would not clog. (US Patent office not allow for over unity for public.- Free Energy is eliminated in issued US Patents. US- 2,863,499.
Me too! But mine is gravity fed. No nozzles no fans. It roars and rumbles. Burns through stainless and cast iron combustion chambers. Runs me out of the shop sometimes. I'm going to come up with a ceramic chamber that may last longer.
Does it burn synthetic? And how do you ensure there is no coolant or water in the oil? I know you have your own shop but I would have to supplement with used oil I got from other places and there could be coolant in there
What? It is still legal, just like coal heating. In Poland a huge part of new-build houses still gets coal stoves, even after passed new EU regulations.
That's super neat, I didn't know those existed. I do wonder about its thermal efficiency, though. Seems like a lot of the heat gets wasted just exiting through the exhaust. Also, how much oil do you usually collect in a year? Do you only burn engine oil, or do you mix it with other oils like brake fluid?
He answers this in the video at around 8:25, it will burn anything petroleum based (trans fluid, engine oil, hydraulic oil, gasoline, diesel, brake fluid) except coolant, or coolant contaminated oil.
@@benzlover55 I know he said it'll burn many types of oil, but he never said if he did burn all the waste oil he got, or if he just burned engine oil, not did he mention if he just mixed everything in one big drum, or if he kept all the different oils in their own containers.
@@MrFastFox666 looking at his setup in the video it seems logical that he just pours/mixes everything together, it would not make much sense to separate it.
This is jail time in Europe, pure cancer is coming out of the chimney unless there is a really expensive pm10 particle filter on the top of the chimney, but i highly doubt it
It’s all about burning it cleanly, which is sort of a misnomer when it comes to oil. I’m not an expert on this by any stretch, but from what I’ve gathered over the years, waste oil burnt in a furnace like this is actually much, much cleaner than if it had been burnt in an engine, mostly because the furnace facilitates a much hotter burn of the oil.
@@a.dudeman7715 thanks for your insight, I knew nothing about them as this product is not widespread in my country. In the following report, they say : T o summarize, natural gas has low PM 2.5 emissions but moderate carbon dioxide emissions. Wood pellet fuel has much higher PM 2.5 emission levels (based on current technology) but effectively lower carbon dioxide emissions due the renewable nature of trees that absorb carbon dioxide as they grow.

Does anyone know if you can you burn used hydraulic oil? We have a machine at work that leaks hydraulic oil like crazy. I would love to use it for something besides putting it in a waste container for pickup by pump truck.
His customers contribute a gallon of shop heating oil when they have their oil changed. The problem isn't having enough waste motor oil. More like how to get rid of it. Nice problem to have.
Just tried burning used oil.... NEVER AGAIN. It stinks, creates a lot of smoke, can't get the odor out of my hair or clothes, burn barrel still smoldering 24hrs later. Nope!

Nice! Greetings from SLOVAKIA
Blustery! Here in Saint John, NB, just above Maine, right now it's 17 F
A vintage heater to heat vintage cars! 👍🚗

Yes I have two, The shop heater never makes them beep, but running a car in the shop does
Dangerous toxic gasses which are colorless and odorless. Good thing you have the detectors, you never know
It's best to have CO detectors about eye level

Wait, do you pay to get oil removed in the US?? Here in Brazil you get paid to get waste oil removed of your shop
@@heitorbernardes7977 How much do you get paid per gallon for waste oil? And what is the cost of diesel fuel/heating oil in Brazi?
@@gregorymalchuk272 We are paid R$3,10 per liter. It is about 2 US dolars per galon.. And we do not use space heaters in most of the country.
Cool, it's a similar principle like my Zibro heater which runs on petroleum. In Germany it's pretty common to heat on diesel (Heizöl).
we call it kerosene...

That waste oil furnace is a great idea, despite the greens it was smart to obtain a permit, I’m always an advocate of recycle, reuse, repurpose.
I don't think it would be allowed today like it was 20+ years ago
Another great video to brighten another boring school day.
Despite what some may say, if you look at the total end-to-end picture, burning waste oil is probably the greenest way to dispose of it :)
Thats probably what the companies do that ypu pay to dispose of it
It's really the only way to dispose of it. What is the alternative?
You good sir, have just earned your 153rd like, you also gave me info I will actually need and probably use one day.

Used to collect veggie oil and waste oil for heat way back in the 70s
At a gallon an hour consumption how does 100 gallons last you all season? How long is your season?
You need to get my Buick in for it's oil change.
Me too! But mine is gravity fed. No nozzles no fans. It roars and rumbles. Burns through stainless and cast iron combustion chambers. Runs me out of the shop sometimes. I'm going to come up with a ceramic chamber that may last longer.
I used a ceramic blanket to patch the target wall, works great.
This is recycling at its finest! Turning waste into heat energy. Hoping to convert a residential unit myself to run on waste oil. Cheers
Great and thanks for taking the time to explain good vid cheers
That is a nice idea. Saving money by reusing resources.👍👍

In Europe this is not allowed, due to pollution regulations.
and undoubtedly taxes

No filter. Yes I know the exhaust is totally carcinogenic
Would really like to know what is happening with the green Renault Lecar?
Doesn't burning oil pollute so much it was the reason 2 stroke engines are not on commercial vehicles anymore?

We have one in our joinery workshop but it runs off mains gas
You total legend
I wonder what he is doing now, can't wait until tomorrow's video.
Do you have AC in your shop??
Probably not. It rarely gets hot in Portland.
nope , don't really need it
How much oil does it consume per day
Nevermind you answered it kat the end lol patience is not my strong suit
😁
Did i see a merker in your lot?

Yes, a long time ago
Didn’t mean to sound critical though , I enjoyed seeing it again, I really like the idea just as I like watching all your videos thanks
Slo Joe will put a stop to this if he can.
Bunghole :'DDD
I would get a big diesel generator and power my house on waste oil if i had a free supply of oil
1 gallon an hour ouch. I only got about 3 gallons of old oil

It does not even need much Oil, 100 gallons per season seems economic 👍🏻
Its incredibly efficient

Interesting.
Would never be allowed in Europe!
