Re: OT BioDiesel
That would be so dirty, it would be like burning another petroleum
product, tires. Do you know how they scrub it, and if the
environmentalist wackos still allowing them to use oil?

Re: OT BioDiesel
I sold my used oil from my two thousand gallon storage tank for
five cents a gallon, buy twenty years ago it cost me twenty cents, and I
had to beg them to come out, all the time sweating the fire department
which inspected for hazardous waste at the time. Those fines could be
mind boggling.

Re: OT BioDiesel
When I was young and foolish, I bought plans for a home sized used motor oil
furnace, from the Mother Earth News. My eyes bugged out of my head when I
read them. You were supposed to use a manual valve and a home made
"nozzle", to control the drip rate of the oil, as it dropped on pieces of
fire brick, placed on a burner, made out of a frying pan. You got the fire
going with kerosene or barbecue lighter fluid. I am still alive. That
means I must not have made the thing.

I made an oil burner one time. Used gravity to feed old motor oil
through a copper coil wrapped around a can that held a wick. That
sucker could put out some serious heat and smoke. Thing is as it got
hotter the oil vaporized in the tube and eventually the whole thing
melted. :/
