Louis, No Kidding! I fly a homebuilt too. We looked at the "waste oil" furnaces that were available either as plans or redi-built and decided early on that we wanted a design that was modular, required no outside power source, required minimal filtering,and was as simple as possible. Essentially the design I described in my previous post is a glorified candle. Can't get much simpler. On one of the early tests I simply set up a single burner and used 20' of exhaust pipe to vent it to a metal chimney. I was amazed at how much heat it produced. You can figure how many burners you need to replace an existng heater by extrapolating BTU value of 1/2 cup of WVO per burner. We do use a warerbed heater to keep the WVO at a constant temp. in an insulated tank but I suspect that if the power went out it would be several days before the WVO changed viscosity significantly.
