I start building one of these things this year and this was my first idea and now I know I just needed a bigger freakin pipe what does save me hundreds thank you very much.
I love the Spray Gun idea for supplying air and oil. I tried lighting oil burner today, but without luck. Issue with feeding oil and supplying air. I think I'll look into your Spray Gun method. Super-Awesome! Thanks for posting.
Hey, here is a simple way to preheat the oil: mount a 10 watt light bulb just above the reservoir let the oil drip on the light bulb at first then fall into the reservoir. Gravity powered, cheap oil filter probably will be necessary too. Great burner!
@Loonypics Yes, and to make it 3 layer of plates sandwich with inside plate having cut fins with a slit saw it could be really good exchanger. Longer of course with more in/out ports i think
It would be quite good solution, but I think difficult to keep the temperature constant. I would worry it would overheat inside of the tube and deposit some residue. But anyway worth trying
Nice burner. I have been bussy with a babington burner for two years now, but i cant get it stable enough. Well i have a old spraygun :) so iam gonna try your idea.......how big is your air vessel? mine is 50 liter and pumps 320 l/min that must be enough. Keep going
@MrDistilr There is not enough air from air gun only to fully burn an oil. Air stream from an airgun creates air suction into cylinder. There is no dark smoke at all. If there would be that will indicate too little air. The best is to extract fumes out as you can run out of oxygen in a closed garage soon or later. When I ran a burner for longer an air became unpleasant to breathe. As you see flame approaches cylinder under an angle so it cycles inside on a surface of cyliner,
Actually, I started collecting waste oil when I found out how easy it is to obtain at Towns waste recycling center. Mechanics are more than happy to give old engine oil. Word of caution old engine oil contains a lot of energy. Over heating can led to fire or gasification and explosion. Due to accident two years ago I had to join Michael Jackson to wearing a wig.
I abandoned this project because of trouble to get used oil. During the winter I heat my garage using waste wood - mostly old pallets- which otherwise would ended on landfill. Any way of preheating the oil and keep temp within certain limits is very good idea. By feeding hot oil flame burns nicer and cleaner
@scampppp Hi, the tank is 50 liters, but I'm not sure about compressor,but it's cheap compressor you can buy sometimes at supermarket deal( I bet it don't pump a lot of litres). I think to make another stove for wood as I have access to free scrap pallets.
@thierryanna Hi I've build exchanger, but it's fumes-to-air exchanging system, with car radiator fan as a blower. That was only quick solution to heat up my garage last winter. I'm preparing myself to make another one- waste wood (old one-way pallets) burning stove heating up CH water as well. I can make some pics of current exchanger and post them if you interested. Thanks for interest

What about self-heating? An evaporator loop? Something like a coiled tube (2-3 turns) caring fuel from reservoir to the nozzle, coil thru which the flame passes and some of the heat vaporizes the fuel before getting to the nozzle.
Hoopoe hi could you please help me to find out ,,,do i have to have oil pump? ... when i use Hollow NOS nozzle ... if you google it you can see it ,,,thank You
I intentionally used air gun instead of vacuum cleaner: 1. I need heat garage for few hours per day and by using air gun I can greatly control heat output 2. Blower burner generate too much heat output per short period of time 3. Vacuum cleaner generate too much noise and use too much kWh electricity and I don't think It will last or long using it everyday for few hours 4. Compressor starts every 30 min for few minutes, rest time it uses air from a tank
A paint sprayer huh? I toyed with the idea of pumping oil with my airless and doing kinda what you're doing here. There sure is a lot of energy stored in that oil.
Wow we try and try here i europe, to not mess op the planet to much, and then you make such a project. It proberly pollute as much as a small town here. Not saying it is a bad project, recycling is god, but burning waste oil is not the way.

Looks like good progress to me. I want to make a prototype oil burner with my everlast welder.

Really Good Job !
you Are Inventer - Thats For Sure !
...i'm impressed about how few smoke i produces!
Hi Hoopoe, that system looks good and simple. Where can i find out the plans to make one.
@Loonypics Yes, and to make it 3 layer of plates sandwich with inside plate having cut fins with a slit saw it could be really good exchanger. Longer of course with more in/out ports i think
This is some smart thinking.
Have you ever tried a coffee cup stinger to preheat the oil?
It would be quite good solution, but I think difficult to keep the temperature constant. I would worry it would overheat inside of the tube and deposit some residue. But anyway worth trying
for now you have a nice flame thrower :)

Nice work, do you have any idea how much oil does it consumes? It-s not very cheap here...
I'm sorry but i have no idea
How many hours to the gallon?
hi can u tell oil consumption????????????
What is max temp?

hi nice job .. i wonder how much does it bunr oil per an hout ? thank u
soory for my english
I'm sorry, but i never measured it
Hoopoe hi could you please help me to find out ,,,do i have to have oil pump? ... when i use Hollow NOS nozzle ... if you google it you can see it ,,,thank You
you better use vaccum cleaner to blow air. Same concept like in melting furnace.
I intentionally used air gun instead of vacuum cleaner:
1. I need heat garage for few hours per day and by using air gun I can greatly control heat output
2. Blower burner generate too much heat output per short period of time
3. Vacuum cleaner generate too much noise and use too much kWh electricity and I don't think It will last or long using it everyday for few hours

@bhaikhurram1 Sorry, but I never measured

dear measured now..
don't like... too loud, and U need all the time "do something" with it...
Sorry, but I never measured it
itll never catch on lol
