Nicely done mate. If a guy could find a refrigerate storage bottle they already have 2 valves at the top, one goes to the bottom of the bottle, the other goes to the top. Would save a lot of work. For all the internet safety nannys. Go look at how a commercial pneumatic oiler works. It's exactly the same as his system.
When I worked as a mechanic we had a tank with a funnel on top in the pit so when this tank was full a valve was shut off at the funnel and a discharge hose was connected to a outlet on the wall then compressed air was connected to drain that tank of waste oil. I liked the idea so much that I made a copy for my waste oil burner.
@@EitriBrokkr That I have no doubt, but I haven't seen one in the "easily accessible" market, It's kinda a deal breaker if I have to know an HVAC guy that does industrial installs just to get my hands on one.
No they use a steel disk and a set of dies and the steel disk is forced into the dies with a press and drawn into the basic tank shape. Then the top of the tank is heated and spun forcing the top to close down to a size small enough for the valve. There is a video on you tube that shows all this.
You need a venturi vacuum pump, then using compressed air you can create a vacuum on the tank and suck the oil into the tank and when you start getting any oil through the venturi your full
Yes, I do early stage’s still. Plan is to have inserts for different fuel, currently it is just for gas (see: ua-cam.com/users/shortsF3dsfnua7uk?) Yours Today’s vid saved me a lot of time. I had no idea how big container to use for fuel storage -> now I know. 👍👍👍
neat setup, yeah, pure oxygen can dissolve in the oil as well as making peroxides and other sensitive compounds..... bad idea in so many levels another issue with oxygen is pressure, a small mistake in regulator adjustment can overpressure the tank to the point of failure my only concern here would be corrosion at the bottom of the tank, since there really isn't even a drain port, arguably, less dangerous in a vertical tank than a horizontal tank, the cylinder caps are much stronger profile than the body, not as prone to rupture. Personally I'd just avoid the pressure vessels, they just add one too many risks to worry about.... these days it's too easy to get small and cheap oil pumps, and they'd do even more pressure, besides, no need for shop air. My old setup had a 12v electric fuel transfer pump and a simple speed controller with a simple pressure relief/bypass and a cheap filter. did a good job
The trick is to make sure there is no water in the oil which prevents corrosion. Why pay for a electric fuel pump and speed controller when the compressor does all that.
Propane tanks are built for between 120 and 200 psi, so are plenty strong enough for this application.
They sure are.
Thank you for sharing your experience 👍
That is a great idea! Thanks Lucky 👌👍
Remember that idea because maybe you could use that idea in the future.
Interesting and well explained.

@@luckygen1001 they actually sell kits like that for emptying 55 gallon drums.
refrigeration gas tanks are too small
@@LateNightHacks they make very large refrigeration tanks. You need to get out more

Do you have a video detailing your oil burner?
You know!! I don't think I have in memory how oxygen cylinders are made!! but I'm pretty sure they are cast in to a mold.. probably a rotating one!!

Removing the cap and pouring it in seems simple enough.
Neat solution. Do you filter the oil before it goes into the 45kg cylinder?
Always!
Mine goes through a second filter on its way out.
Nice video once again, thankyou.
So can I ask what pressure you run your oil tank at?
350 kpa max and 100 kpa minimum depending on how thick the oil is and how cold the weather is.
@@luckygen1001 thankyou
cool
Lucky, you just prooved that what I am building is right 👍👍👍👍👍👍
So you are building one?
Yes, I do early stage’s still. Plan is to have inserts for different fuel, currently it is just for gas (see: ua-cam.com/users/shortsF3dsfnua7uk?)

excellent idea, excellent vid thanks
Mate...!😊
what do you have at the end of the pipe where the oil goes in to the furnace? a nozzle with small diameter? or just the pipe?
Just the pipe.
