Default Brake Fluid - Alternative Use?

In article , Bruce L. Bergman
says...

If thy can't get the flue to draw on a waste oil heater, I would be
rather leery about having them fix my car. Heat rises, and cool air
follows it in the draft diverter. If the heat isn't rising, either
the flue or the fresh makeup air is restricted.


LOL. These were the kids who worked there during the day, but they
were allowed to stay on at night and work on their own cars. I
made sure the owner worked on my car. That was a long time ago,
and the proprietor is long gone. He was the last local guy I would
trust to work on a car or truck of mine, so for the time being
I'm doing all my own work now.

Though the 'drip' style waste oil burners seem rather hit-and-miss
to me - gas stations have compressed air, so a Babbington style oil
burner should be trivial to kit-bash.


Apparently not, at least for them. This was the type fed with
compressed air.
