What can I do with heating oil.
AdeV:
I think Rob's was a home-made one, certainly the furnace is, not sure about the blower/burner. It's hard to distinguish between something Rob made, and something manufactured (usually, the manufactured one is worse)...
awemawson:
I used to have a 'Morgan Crucible #5' oil fired furnace in my 'bottom of the garden' foundry years ago. I would burn 28 second CH fuel, Red Diesel, or practically any other liquid fuel in it with equal facility.
Sadly I don't have pictures of my #5 but here is a pretty well identical (but smaller) #3 - mine was in the floor just like the picture.
I used to reckon that hang gliders could circle over it on the uplift, it was about 1/3 megawatt when running flat out and would empty a 45 gallon drum in less than an hour bugeye:
Incidentally Ade, I got it from very close to you, it was being stored at the boat museum
Jo:
I am pleased to say I have given away more than half the oil for someone to heat an industrial unit :clap: I might keep the rest for fire lighting.
So next question... What can I do with the failed 1250 ltrs tank?

awemawson:
Is it steel?
Back in '81 I cut mine up and used the steel to repair the engine mounts on the Hoverair Hoverhawke hovercraft that I was rebuilding at the time (now in a museum in Portsmouth !)
. . .your usage may differ :lol:
Jo:
Its plastic :(
