Could just use gravity to filter the oil. Used oil container about table height, hose through the bottom of the container, with the filter below that and a filtered oil container at ground level. It’ll be slow filtering. But you won’t have to worry about charging batteries or pumps failing.
I will be trying the oven cleaner on my next clean out. I got so frustrated with the Vevor that I purchased a whole spare unit off Ebay for $89.00 delivered :) That one works so much better, and when I look at the combustion chamber I noticed that the no name unit had bigger slots in the combustion chamber that the one that came with the Vevor. I am going to find a way to get more air into the unit some how as I think that is major issue with the fouling out and building up of the nasty carbon. Thank you for the video's and all your hard work.
Low temperature cause lots of black build up in your heater core. Im burning it on max temp and its help to prevent cloging. Burned 15 liters of 70/30 mix with gasoline and it works fine
If I recall you cant adjust the factory settings in this setup. Guy burning hydraulic fluid found that it seemed to burn best (highest heat, most stable combustion chamber temp) at a setting towards max, and well above minimum. But it wasn't at max. Different fuels will likely find similar stability at different settings. ua-cam.com/video/2kGnxkeiGWI/v-deo.html Also, "filter bags" for biodiesel manufacturing are relatively cheap and MUCH better micron (from 1 micron up) filtering than most all automotive oil filters. I expect getting as much crud as possible out of the waste oil will help prevent crud building up as it burns.
The burner tube is stainless steel. The oil filter, if automobile, will be about 5-10 microns, so won’t remove much more than the larger particles and not much of any carbon that has been carried in suspension by the detergent oil. In old engines, which used non-detergent oils, the larger particles often collected as sludge in the crank case etc. many engines relied on that separation, hoping that most sludge was removed at regular oil changes.
wow thats really hot, and interesting what the controller says. just measured mine same way, only 350F, seems to be chooching along quite well though. takes a few tries to start when cold, im blocking the hot air outlet to try and keep some heat in the unit, then ill disconnect the power when the glow plug turns off and start fresh with a bit more heat in the unit, keep the outlet blocked til 200C then switch to waste all day, the mix right now is about 40/40/20 waste/diesel/gas. when time comes to take it apart i want to figure out a way to put a second glow plug i can manually control, or maybe the afterburner has that kind of control. also gonna dilute my diesel with gas, maybe up to 50/50, the gas does make a different noise because it burns different but i think itll help with viscosity/gelling. if it werent for the trying to get rid of all this waste oil i'd probably just run 50/50 gas/diesel, seems like it may be one of the cleaner burns.
Would pre-heat the waste oil help cleaner burning? Suggest use a metalmesh protected fueltube, and let align it next to the exhaust-tube back and fort. this should heat it up to 60-80 degree.
Try to point the heater down. May help the contamination build up from collecting at lower section of burner and let it go out the end of the burner and out the exhaust.
I actually think the temp sensor sends a lower temperature to the board and allows my unit to burn hotter. It only happens on one of my units . The regular diesel burn unit hardly gets over 425 F . My question to you is , what KW is your unit ?
Filtering the oil will help but not as much as you would think most of the stuff you see in the burner is metals put into the oil to reduce engine wear and are so small they won't come out with standard filtration
And Arthur, this engine isn’t a heat pump like a true diesel engine . There is no compression chamber ignition it’s only basically a flame torch with diesel poured through an atomizing screen. But I will try it anyway 👍
Glad it worked fine, Storm. It was the other side/big chamber that i was worried about the reaction with the cleaner. Thanks for the video.

Your burner chambers are all made out of Stainless Steel. Keep up the good work!👍

Very interesting. Nice video sir!
Helpful Video. Thanks!

30 gasoline and 70 waste oil? What kind of waste oil do you use
Isn't that to much gasoline??
Loving the experimentation on this channel.
Any idea yet what the Advanced Settings code is for the blue controller?

Hey why won't you put the Exhaust in a 55 gallon barrel to capture more heat before existing that out?

Hey Storm what if u added seaform to oil mix
Any word yet on that 3 digit code to access pump and fan settings?
for filtering the oil instead of using a pump put the oil into a old gas bottle or similar and use comprest air to push it through the filter
Try to point the heater down. May help the contamination build up from collecting at lower section of burner and let it go out the end of the burner and out the exhaust.
thats a good idea!
Have you done any with veg oil mixture?
Does this burn used synthetic oils??
Where do u get spare parts for those?
@15:05 Looking good. Keep it hot.
after filtering ,with the oil in a centrifuge. then you can change the mixture to diesel 25/75 waste oil (Black Diesel)!!!😉
Hvor kan man købe den del hvor du kan sætte oliefilter på? Og hvad kaldes den?
Filter head . Local tractor store or industrial supply store.
Does oil burn better when you heat it up also are you burning sythatic oil?
Yes and yes
Were did you buy the new parts
Amazon and eBay
I've always used brake or carb cleaner to clean the diesel heater.
Do you burn waste oil, too?
How you make it to burn that hot ? Mine doesn't pass 300F I see yours its pass 500F
I actually think the temp sensor sends a lower temperature to the board and allows my unit to burn hotter. It only happens on one of my units . The regular diesel burn unit hardly gets over 425 F . My question to you is , what KW is your unit ?
@Storm Norm Leduc it supposed to be 8kw
My intention/hope is that i can run 25% waste oil with 75% kerosene as i have plenty of both free. Thanks for the testing.
Kerosene reportedly keeps these heaters clean internally. Lower heat energy, though.
Why don't you run it on full desiel to get it up to temp the switch to the black deseil you get less build up?
You haven’t watched all my videos ? I do get it up to temp on diesel
Just get a water filter to polish the oil.
Filtering the oil will help but not as much as you would think most of the stuff you see in the burner is metals put into the oil to reduce engine wear and are so small they won't come out with standard filtration
I bought a cheap fuel pump off eBay and ran it through a fuel filter like what you have to polish the fuel in my boat
The heater is basically a diesel engine.
Why not just use Sea Foam in the fuel and let it clean itself as it runs?
I will try even though I don’t have that much faith in Sea foam I am willing to try
And Arthur, this engine isn’t a heat pump like a true diesel engine . There is no compression chamber ignition it’s only basically a flame torch with diesel poured through an atomizing screen. But I will try it anyway 👍
@@Storman77 It's passive; just have it in your fuel and it self-cleans. No mess, no fuss ;-)
