Anyone know how to convert a regular oil furnace to burn waste oil?

I think you can add diesel fuel to it.

Ask Chris, he has done this before.

I have heard of mixing diesel fuel to the filtered heavy oil…

I was going to try and find a heavy oil fitting so it atomizes properly or add resistors and heating blocks inline from the supply.

My third option is to burn Biodiesel and start recieving deliveries of waste vegetable oil (WVO)… but I don’t think i’d like to work in a garage smelling like french fries…
