Alternative fuels, like SVO,(straight veg oil, waste veg oil) waste motor oil and biodiesel are being successfully burned in adapted residential oil-fired gun-style furnace burners such as Aero, Arco, Bock, R.W.Beckett, Carlin, Ducane, International, Riello, Slant Finn, Wayne and others. (This forum is for gun-style oil burners ONLY - no Babbington.)
PURPOSE OF THIS FORUM
The forum is a meeting place to exchange information and ideas for adapting/building a residential gun-style oil burner that uses HHO(home heating oil)to burn alternative fuels. This would include info on other devices; pre-heaters, heat-exchangers, heat-retention units, thermocouples, filters, temperature controllers, relay devices, etc. The main thrust of this forum is to build an alternative-fueled oil burner.Please feel free to contribute anything which you feel might push us in this direction.
Read prior posts for project information and check out the photo gallery for ongoing projects, information, links, etc.
**SAFETY DISCLAIMER**
Please DO NOT attempt to adjust or change to your furnace if you are not mechanically inclined and/or have no idea of what you are doing. This forum or members are in no way responsible for any results that occur from changes made to your furnace or recommendations to any others that make changes to your furnace who appear competent but in the end are not.
ALL questions are welcome here, so please feel free to ask them, if you have doubts before plunging ahead.
