substantially the combustion of oil in the cylinders leaves a glaze which eventually lead to the motor consuming its own oil. Also mechanics dump a lot of other crap in the oil which needs to be removed for example coolant crud etc. Stick with the biodiesel. late

Are there any WVO designs that are passive heaters of sizable BTU output? There are kerosene heaters that by the amount of wick can be of sufficient size to be the equivalent of an average house furnace (50-100K BTU). The oil fired boilers and furances use various pumps/fans/etc. to create

Wick heaters work great with KeroseneI ruined a wick trying biodiesel with one though. Worse yet with SVO. A new wick configuration (perhaps using metal microtubes instead) would be required I think. BTW-The coleman stoves are vapor atomizing---i.e. vaporizing, burners. Vaporizing burners

I think I still think that recycling is better, but burning is better than dumping. I am also thinking that someone living in costa rica might not have a way to recycle it. I once saw a conplete oil burning unit in a surplus catalog with a pump, nozzle, fan and electric ignitor for about $150 US.
