We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Nick" saying something like: Does anyone know of an economical way of either using this waste for heating purposes or a more economical method of disposal. Waste oil heaters have been available for years. I don't mean the workshop heaters, I mean pressure jet /syphon burners that use waste oil. They're not cheap - around the £2K mark, but with that amount of waste oil to burn in one, it would pay for itself quickly. Looking here http://www.wasteoilheaters.co.uk/was...il-heater.html it would seem that burning 2 litres an hour generates 60,000btu. So running it 40 hours a week gives the OP 2 years free heating just from the oil he already has. Not bad for a £1000 outlay on a heater. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |
