Friend of mine finally got natural gas ran to his place and I got his almost new fuel oil furnace.
I'm wondering if I can burn my used motor oil through it.
Maybe mixed 50/50 (20/80?) with fuel oil.
If it were an old oil burning stove I'd just give it a shot, but its not.
It has electronic ignition, self priming pump and modern safety devices to shut it down if no fuel.
Furnace itself would be in a steel sided enclosure outside a steel sided pole barn with
duct work ran a few feet into the pole barn rather than putting the furnace in the barn.
Anyone have experience trying this?
How much "sludge" can you dilute and burn? Clean used oil only?
Just a thought at this point, if it won't work it will just burn fuel oil on cold days.
