Old Oil Buring
How do I make a burner for using waste vegetable oil? (Or, for that
matter, mineral oil?) Assuming I can find a suitable diesel engine to run on it, what sort of generator could I finagle onto it to get the maximum output, or financially worhtwhile output? TIA. |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Weatherlawyer saying something like: How do I make a burner for using waste vegetable oil? (Or, for that matter, mineral oil?) Assuming I can find a suitable diesel engine to run on it, what sort of generator could I finagle onto it to get the maximum output, or financially worhtwhile output? JFGI. |

Weatherlawyer presented the following explanation :
How do I make a burner for using waste vegetable oil? (Or, for that matter, mineral oil?) If you email me directly, I can provide you with some answers to your first question. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |

TIA. Too vague. If you dont want to buy a diesel gen, ie you'd rather use very cheap parts, its largely a case of what you can find. Even a small gen can put enough heat out the exhaust to make a lot of water. NT |
