Very nice setup! But is there a risk for producing super toxins such as dioxin while burning used motor oil?

[@dennisfoltz7880]

Put a deflector in the stove a few inches above where the fire enters . The fire goes straight to the top and out the chimney. Deflecting it out towards the sides of the stove will get you more heat.

125,000 Btu/gal in waste oil. a 1,000 square-foot workspace with 8-foot ceiling height means you’ll be heating 8,000 cubic feet of space. If the temperature outside is 30°F and you’d like it to be 70°F in your garage, the desired temperature change is 40°F. Those two numbers multiplied by .133 reveals you’ll need a little more than 42,500 BTUs per hour to keep your workspace at 70 degrees in in moderate USA temperature zones 1-4. One gallon of waste oil provides approx 3 hours of heat - unless the space is airtight and super insulated.

[@DIYJIM]

[@billa3011]

Look into the metering pump for Chinese diesel heaters. I use a PWM to pulse the pump and I run with a filter. It burns super clean no smoke and I run a gallon a day 24hrs. I am running 50-50 diesel waste oil. Filter filter

I suggest adding a ‘gentle’ fan across thewood stove. You’ll get more efficiency out of the stove and more warmth in the garage. Gentle air movement.

[@chrisbrunette9495]

Preferably over an aggressive fan 🤔 👌

[@TiMmMAAaaa]

They got these fans that you set on top of the stove and the heat generates electric current for the fans, google "Thermoelectric Fan for Wood Stove"

[@charvais]

Secondary air suploied to the top of the flame might give a cleanet burn. Your double insulated flu pipe is stopping the heat entering the work shop, it's only really needed at the exit point upwards to stop the flu geting cold outside which would give down draught back wash.

Allowing an open flame from waste oil is going to allow harmful fumes due to the toxic heavy metals in waste oil. Recommend sealing up your burn chamber. Looks like a pretty slick setup. Would agree with other comments about deflecting the flame to retain heat as well. You could also get a fan device that harvests heat from the exhaust vent to maximize heat output. 👍

Maybe a couple of peltier powered fans on top of the stove may increase the dispersal of heated air. I like the forced air but doesn't that depend on the grid for power? Perhaps you could find a way to run one on dc for power outages. Overall, I find your setup very fuel efficient and a great way to heat your garage! Good going, keep up the good work.

[@jeffhines2895]

Very interesting! I'm wondering if you could use a device like a float bowl to control your oil flow? It seems that you have to watch it a lot when the oil warms. Some kind of temp variable flow control but mechanical in nature that matches oil viscosity changes? If I was a fabricator(other than my own stuff) I would send you a metal oil tank with a sight glass built into the side, but its good to see you work with what you have available for sure.

[@DIYJIM]

I probably will only use this about 4-5 times a year just too burn my old oil up and make some heat.

[@urgentcareguy3]

Nice build. There is one thing that I would change. I would not have the oil burner outside of the former wood heater. What you may not realize is that the gases that come off of used motor oil can easily leach into your work space. These gases are likely carcinogenic / cancer causing. Maybe move the burner inside the stove or move stove outside and insulate with glass wool blanket and circulate air or water back to work space.

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for the info, maybe I will try it inside one of these days

[@greatcars4-sale]

Great video. THANK YOU

[@DIYJIM]

You are welcome!

[@EelingStudios]

To regulate oil flow I use a power steering pump driven by a wiper motor [geared right down] with a PWM controller, saves the worry regarding run-away when the oil thins as the ambient temperature rises. That would be easy enough to add a flame failure device and also an over temp thermostat to shut down if it does go out or overheat.

[@DIYJIM]

You should make a video of this explaining how you did that. Sounds like a great setup. Thanks for watching

[@EelingStudios]

@@DIYJIMwill do, give me a couple of weeks!

[@lynheydt3304]

I remember when some of the first waste oil furnaces came out it was on that principle. The idea is nothing new the kerosene heaters from years ago had a carb that regulated the flow and temperature.

[@DIYJIM]

thanks for watching

[@HitAbeUp]

To achieve better efficiency, you can add a pipe to the air intake fan directly to outside the property. This will stop causing a negative pressure in the garage. As you see the fan is sucking air from inside the garage to burn and go outside, that spent air needs to get replaced cold air comes in from cracks of windows and power outlets.

[@DIYJIM]

Agree thanks for watching

[@edp4585]

You could get better circulation of the heat if you put a "wood stove" fan on the top. They are heat powered and do a great job of moving the warm air around the room.

[@DIYJIM]

I did have a fan up by the ceiling. Thanks for the advice

[@pellingt]

Lots of people suggesting a deflector, and obviously you are gonna try it eventually, instead of a metal deflector, something as simple as a arch of bricks would do something, and be easy to test.

Impressive! On a side note, if you take a 50 ft coil of soft wall copper tubing ( 1/2" to 3/4) and wrap it around that stove exhaust pipe, and then blanket that with a special type of insulation, you could heat anti-freeze or water and have another heat exchanger in the system to capture some of that energy loss to the exhaust system. Just like a car engine loses a massive amount of the gasoline BTU's to the radiator in the form of heat energy, your system loses a massive amount of the oil's BTU equivalent straight up that exhaust pipe. It wouldn't surprise me if you could reduce your fuel consumption by 2/3rds. Which would reduce your maintenance. In theory! Lol

[@DIYJIM]

Good idea thanks for watching

[@grandpaseed]

useful info thanks

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching

[@draj124]

I really like what you've done here - one thing I'm seeing is that it seems like you are losing a lot of heat to the exhaust. When you filmed it you can see the air warping because of the high temperature. I think it would be cool if you tried to re-capture some of that waste heat and use it inside, you could burn less fuel for the same performance that way. Look up heat exchangers in traditional oil burning or condensing gas furnaces. You can buy an HVAC radiator for cheap or use a small vehicle radiator (maybe a motorcycle one) put it inside the exhaust flue to capture as much heat as possible from the exhaust gasses. Then have a radiator in the room somewhere with a fan to disperse the heat. Just run copper between the two and then seal the holes in the flue so no gasses enter the room. Would be super interesting if you got a measurement of the exhaust temperature before and after to see how effective the whole thing was.

[@DIYJIM]

Sounds like a real interesting idea. Thanks for watching

[@gulfy09]

That's really good

[@DIYJIM]

[@ted1728]

I've seen some other oil burning stoves that use a metal lattice or a pile of bolts welded together to increase surface area. Have you experimented with that? I've always wanted to build a oil burner. Do you get any fumes?

[@DIYJIM]

No fumes, except a little when I light it. Never tried the bolt thing. Thanks for watching

[@ravenrock541]

Just a thought of advice: keep a close eye on your chimney, and keep it cleaned often. You DO NOT want a chimney fire with that oil soot. Second thought: Create a secondary burn in fire place. By this, I mean introducing heated oxygen into your exhaust to catalyze any unburned fuel. This is simple to do. Create a cold air line that gets heated by the flame then delivers the air just after the combustion process. Super heated oxygen will ignite any unburned fuel. You can experiment with copper tubing. Remember those green mosquito incense coils used in the old days? Install a copper coil to the ceiling of fire place, over the flame. The center of the coil is the outlet, the other end of the coil should draw cold air from outside. There are many options here. Simply leave the end of the copper tube open or cap off and drill small holes into the coil of the copper. Also, since your chimney above the rotor gets red hot, wrap a copper coil around that, then have it deliver the heated air into the center of the flame in the chimney, or at the roof of fireplace where the flame splashes. This will serve two purposes: Getting a complete combustion of all the fuel and by-products will create more heat, and keep your chimney cleaner longer.

[@DIYJIM]

That is some good ideas. I wonder if I should have had my air intake on my stove open fully instead of closed. Thanks for the suggestions and long comment.

[@ravenrock541]

@@DIYJIM If you are getting a complete combustion, there will be no smoke. Your chimney outside the house is telling you something, which is what caught my attention and got me thinking. Yes, open the air intake on stove. You want oxygen, hence the need for a blower on oil burners. Oil can burn just fine without forced air (if hot enough) but it smokes like a burning tire. The extra air from the blower is required to get enough oxygen into the combustion process to reduce the smoke (unburned fuel). Final thought: If you can, create a cold air source for your stove that draws from the outside of the house. If you're not pulling air from the room/garage then you won't be drawing cold air in from outside (drafts). Nice talking with ya, keep the vids coming

[@user-vw2pg5pr5g]

Nice job on video how did you build fire box to stove very nice

[@DIYJIM]

[@kenciphery690]

from what i can see, you need to run a hotter secondary combustion temperature so introduce air into the wood stove and shorten the stainless steel pipe thats turning cherry.....that heat needs to be in the fire brick area...my experiance comes from burning oil in a mosher type steam boiler aboard a 1919 steam yaught....but the brincipals of combustion are the same.

[@bobkelly2447]

I think you need about 2 times the air flow...... an oil fire should ROAR ! or Rumble when burning correctly (no smoke) I think most of those 8 hrs it was burning kind'a slow.... the flame was short most of the time. it's all kind'a relative so if it works the way you like it ...good for you ! I would add a bigger fan myself and seal up the burn pot top so you don't start getting fumes in the place..... good work.... now the problem is finding enough used oil to last the winter time.... a not so easy task ! good luck.

[@DIYJIM]

[@Moonlightshadow-lq4fr]

I couldn't have said it better. Yeh for sure needs more air. Such a refreshing comment from you, unlike the comments idiots make saying you done this wrong or it's a fire risk or do it this way, no just straight honest experienced help.

[@rogerbrandt6678]

Do you think having a cone for the oil to drop on would be better? More surface areas.

[@DIYJIM]

Maybe not sure thanks for watching

[@Moonlightshadow-lq4fr]

I think ALL oil burners are fascinating! It's a shame it smokes a little, I would have thought the secondary burn in the woodstove would have solved that but the burner is begging for more air. The rate of flow must have gone down to a drip though to use so little oil, at the rate you showed the burner would get extremely hot but you need more air to the burn chamber as Bob kelly suggests in the comments it should roar like a freight train for maximum efficiency. Mind you, you did say you didn't want it too hot? You could do away with the brake rotor and have the burner setup inside the stove if you are going to force air into it, that way everything is inside a big steel box and be quieter too. The sooty stuff left after the burn was not that bad though. When it burns decent it should look like that but maybe and a bit more heat will reduce the amount of ash substantially. It all depends on what your needs are though. Everybody has their own desires so every design is a good one if they are happy with it as long as it don't smoke. Just a drop more air will get rid of the smoke too. The big brake rotor is just making it harder to light and longer to warm up, all extra mass does is retain heat when it goes out, same as nuts and bolts. A thin plate would be better and anyway the stove itself will retain a mass of heat because it is big and bulky but won't interfere with the burn. You have a very clean setup too. I find if I use a mix of 10 oil to 1 part kerosene, or diesel, or paraffin, gets rid of most of the ash stuff left over, makes for easy lighting too. Great job by the way and I am sure you will add or take away things which you work out best to suit your own needs.

Old Jungers burners using fuel oil would burn a lot cleaner. You are wasting heat, and not burning everything up. You need more air, and more glowing surface. Might try using stainless steel pot scrubbers down in the fire pot to gasify the motor oil, and turn up the air. The pot scrubbers dipped in the oil need to glow to boil the oil right on the surface of the oil.

This looks so not safe. I've had experience with waist oil burners in the past. They shot the flame into a thick fiberglass mating that lines the back wall of the burner. The mating deteriorated in one and burned a hole through the back of the unit and through the wall of the building.

Holy smokes thanks for the heads up. I don’t plan on burning super hot and maybe only few times a year to burn up my used oil. Thanks for watching

Where can i find free motor oil

[@DIYJIM]

Friends, neighbors, ask a garage

[@jameskerrigan2997]

Neighbors burnt down shop with better setup than that. Flaming oil over filled containment and ran out onto floor.

[@DIYJIM]

I could see that would be bad. I don’t plan on using much and only when I am in my garage. Thanks for watching

[@jameskerrigan2997]

Smaller feed tank than burn tank might help.

I don't mind subscribing to someone who made a heater out of a dog bowl. Looks like some of the rednecky stuff that I do.

Thanks for subscribing

The gas tank is a horrible setup with all respect there's like a gallon if not maybe a gallon and a half that you won't be able to ever use because you have your valve way too high on the tank unless it's playing like that so it can kind of collect the settlement but then eventually you're going to have to take it apart to clean it when you should just filter your used motor oil in the first place

[@DIYJIM]

I kind of want the settlement to go to the bottom. Also I really only burn it when I am in the garage. Thanks for watching

Hope your insurance company never sees that.
