WVO (Waste Vegatable Oil ) fired furnace, a work in progress

I think mixing a small amount of gasoline will thin it out and dissolve particles. I use this method when running my vw truck on WVO. I use 5-10 percent gasoline to unclog filters.

thanks for the tips, I have bailed on the project for now. I could not get the nozzle to stay clean thus not running for more then 15 min before clogging up and shutting down.

Glad that you are ok! My converted mobile home furnace has been a mixed success. The fuel pump died and I have been too mad at it replace it! I hate to say but a compressed air deal is probably the only solution for veggie, since it needs such a high temp to atomize.

Hope he is still alive, hasn't signed in for 7 months! Folks fool with this stuff outside first!! Fire a gun into a steel barrel and you'll be able to see what's really going on in there!

No good. That heat tape isn't hot enough, and the furnace has a burning puddle in the fire box, very very bad and dangerous. Observe your WVO experiment outdoors with the gun firing into a steel drum.
