A Waste Oil Heater can be a fast, efficient way to heat your space, regardless of whether that space is indoors or outdoors. These heaters can either be direct heating or can utilise a waste oil boiler to heat water which then can be circulated to heat distant rooms or spaces.
Waste oil heaters have the advantage that they can be extremely cheep to run, especially if you generate or have access to used vegetable oil, recycled oil, used motor oil or used transmission or hydraulic fluid.
Restaurants, lube shops, garages and some manufacturing facilities which generate waste oil can gain a double benefit by utilising a waste oil heater or boiler.
Waste oil is difficult to dispose of as it cannot be safely dumped into landfills for fear of polluting the ground or waterways.
Commercial business’s which generate waste oil usually are required to pay a waste oil recycler to take the product away for proper disposal. If you have one of these business’s and generate sufficient used oil then you can reduce your ongoing heating costs to almost zero.
A waste oil heater does use a blower fan which requires a small amount of electricity to run, but this cost is about 1/50th of the total cost of a clean fuel oil heater of the same capacity.
Most areas have oil recyclers who can provide you with waste oil to use in your boiler or waste oil heater if you do not generate enough of your own. The cost for this product is typically a tiny amount compared to the cost of diesel fuel oil normally used in oil heaters, often waste oil costs 1/10th of the cost of diesel. It doesn’t take long at that price differential for the waste oil heater to pay for itself.
Using a waste oil heater which complies with all the environmental protection agencies requirements will ensure that your oil heater doesn’t produce smoke or odours. Waste oil has to be disposed of in some fashion and utilising it in a waste oil heater is an effective and efficient way of disposing of this potential pollutant.
Waste oil has a higher Btu per gallon rating than propane (about 150,000 BTU’s for waste oil vs 90,000 BTU’s for propane) and is therefore an efficient fuel for the generation of heat.
Modern waste oil Heaters do not have maintenance requirements which are any more onerous than other oil fired heaters except a requirement for a little more frequent cleaning. This extra cleaning is more than offset by the money saved in the cost of the fuel.
A Waste Oil Heater makes sense, firstly if you have access to a sufficient supply of waste oil then your heating costs can be reduced to almost zero and even if you have to purchase recycled waste oil then your cost savings will still be dramatically reduced, secondly by using waste oil for your heating needs you are helping get rid of a potential pollutant.

I think it could use a little more pre-heat cause that tube doesn’t get hot at all. I also relocated the valve, added a water separator, another row of holes, and now the thing is getting pretty hot. About as hot as I’d want it. Nearly red hot.
The waste oil heater is now set in place and chimney constructed. To gain all the heat possible a heat exchanger was added. Original plans from www.murphysmachines.com
The Oil-CAT automatically collects, blends with diesel fuel and filters used motor oil from any diesel engine oil pan, and then deposits this fuel/oil mixture into the diesel fuel tank servicing this engine.

Not to be confused with night storage heaters, SÜKA electric radiators operate at low running costs on the standard electricity tariff. They can also run on off-peak tariff and cost even less in electricity bills than most night storage heaters. You just plug them in to standard 13 amp sockets or hard-wire and warm up!
