Diy oil burner Videos

+paul rogers No smoke or exhaust whatsoever down there. The draw created by the hot flue/chimney keeps negative pressure on that whole area. You can tell by the way the flame tapers upwards that it's being mixed with air being drawn in. Thanks for watching!

+Bogie Wheelz I sure want to!! I'll make some build videos too and how it runs when I'm done. I'm currently waiting on my precups to be machined at the machine shop but once that's done I'll have the heads on and drop the motor in! You have a Facebook? I'll add you to the 6.5 secret group, it's only 1000 members or so and very secret >:) haha

+master011CLAN Wow!! Sounds like a very complete build! You should put up some video of that thing running. I'd love to see the intercooler on it.

+Bogie Wheelz my 6.5 has been bored 0.020 over and decked 0.010 of an inch, block has 330K on it, it's a 929. I have Mahle 0.020 over Pistons with it, Scat Crankshaft, DSG Girdle with ARP crank studs, AMG P400 heads with diamond precups installed, ARP Headstuds, Marine 40HP injectors, Kojo tune, HO Water pump, HX35, Diamond Eye 4 inch exhaust and a intercooler :)

+master011CLAN Good eye! The intake manifold is off because the injection pump went on it, but it's being rebuilt with a bored out advance piston. Check out my quick exhaust & spec vid on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqt8i_kWehIWhat have you done to your 6.5?

+Bogie Wheelz Like I say, run a line from your compressor. Wouldn't take much air.

+Wayne Goff Funny you mention that, about 2 weeks ago I bought myself a cheap blower fan from a furnace. Thinking of making a fully contained veg oil burner from it.

+slipery mud thanks , i think its great without any electricity , great way to heat

It depends on a lot of things, such as oil type, oil thickness, cold oil, warm oil. you need to have a valve to adjust the flow. you could just trickle the oil in to just keep it going but would lose optimum heat, to much flow and it will start to smoke. You can add a fan to force air into the burn pot, and this really gets the heat up, but I wanted to use no electricity. I have not tried a certain type of oil only waste oil, and that could of had transmission, brake fluid and engine oil mixed, I get it for free so I didn't really care how much it used, but my burner uses about 4 ltr an hour for optimum heat. I did use vegetable oil a few times and that was great, smelt like a fish and chip shop. but people around my area pay the business owner for it, they obviously are using it for Bio fuel of some sort.

+Paul Eastham I am looking to make something on theses line but only small I am hoping to use the small gas cylinder from my co2 welder, thanks for showing yours, cheers, Pete

+Paul Eastham I would really like to see your setup paul, do you have a Youtube vid of it????

+underhover69 No I wanted it to work with no power what so ever. But yes that would give you greater temps if you did.

+David Yummus  lol yeah shat myself when it went boom.

+larryswindcatcher I think I should leave it to my viewers to out up the safety tips. A lot of you have had even more unfortunate experience with idiots than I have.

+Pete Franklin No, no refractory. not sure how far the crucible sits in the burner, maybe 15Cm? A deeper burner would be better no doubt. I think standing the crucible upright would be good as long as it didn't interfere with the heat transfer to the crucible

+Roberto .Cavanagh Is there a popular use for drum heaters? If they were something that are widely used I'd be interested in trying to make something practical. Are they just used in 200L drums or in larger capacity containers?

I´ve often wondered why nobody has yet come up with a low cost, efficient WVO/Biodiesel  drier other than  electric inmersión heaters. M67 would seem the way to go if it could burn WVO/SVO instead of gasoline ( read that they could explode at start up). Food for thought....

+Roberto .Cavanagh I know where you are coming from. Blowing fire on a drum is very inefficient. I have thought of using a down firing Burner Into some pipe like an M67. The burners can't be totally enclosed as they need to run hot into order to vaporise the oil but then can be externally insulated. I have a burner designed years ago that would be perfectly suitable, all that would be needed would be to bend up the pipe.

+The Gaffer Project Workshop Looks like I'll have to do something along those lines to satisfy Viewer Demand. Going to take a lot more effort than I usually like to put into these things as they are only temporary for the vids before I try something else. Can't have all these things hanging around, I am trying to clean up my junk and yard. :o)

Im not lazy but it looks as lot of work

+donald laisure (73SuperGlide62) The burner pipe needs to be at least 2 inches ID, but larger will work too. And it's 16 inches long, but it can be longer or shorter as needed.

+Oil Burner I'm glad you are happy with your design.

+SV SeekerI'll certainly give you the easy to light but more in an instant, rather than a difficult sense.  :0)As for control, I can adjust my drip burners pretty much like a gas flame. Have a look at my last vid. I can turn the thing up and down virtually instantly and have the output anywhere I want.Almost any oil burner design is better than using gas, that's for sissys!  :0)

+Oil Burner Drip burners are fine, but they don't have the control this burner has, nor are they as easy to light.

+Brady Rose The air and fuel keep it cool. So when you turn off the fuel, keep the air supplies on.

+Jonas Medeiros Not sure. I can get 75 pounds of bronze ready to pour in 2 hrs in my furnace.

+SV Seeker Another question, Doug. How long does it take for the iron to be completely melted?

Thank you, Doug!

+Jonas Medeiros Dave melts cast iron with his but I think 80 pounds. So I think it would be fine. I'd go with at least a 1 gph nozzle. You can get even more fuel through it if you simply raise the fuel tank.
