I run mine on a 25% waste oil diesel mix. It’s enough to not have to modify or use just diesel in start up. Burn chamber has been pretty clean as well.
If you run this with the extended exhaust pipe you realize that that reduces the combustion air to the oil to the fire so what happens when you restrict the combustion air and you don’t adjust the oil level to match……… soot Thank you for your video❤️🔥🇺🇸
Hey, I want to apologize... I cut my chamber open yesterday and the reason I didn't think mine had any mesh, is because the carbon was as hard as metal !! It completely quit working on me /I wasn't able to get it to start up, and so I cut it open and sure enough... full of really hard carbon ! I put it back together without any mesh in there at all and it seems to work perfectly fine on diesel ...
Kind of a good video except you rushed through it! It would have been nice if you showed the close up of all the cuts you made into the burn chamber. as you disassembled it on camera. For instance the screen mesh you placed around the center cone, it doesn't look like it fitted in a complete circle. Is the opening at the glow plug or is the screen covering the glow plug? And where exactly did you cut to separate the burn chamber? No gaskets at all? Then why did they put them in I wonder? Only 2 bolts to secure it back instead of 4? Why did you video in a keyhole method it is so crappy watching on a horizontal display screen. Like your peeking into a room. Why would you turn the control display on its side to show your settings? .
When I run mine on a diesel oil mix I always get oil dripping from the intake manifold. So I need to run it with the air intake facing downwards otherwise it fills with oil and starts to make a gurgling sound. This seems to happen with most engine oils and even if I mix it with say 10% used oil 90 diesel. Does not drip anything when run on pure diesel. I have one of the new controlers , one with the spanner in top left corner , can't find any settings that make any sense on it. The pin code on it is 1234, none of the other codes work.
Hi , interesting video , have been trying a 50/50 mix of old oil and diesel , starting on diesel and then switching to used oil . the coking up is horrendous after 16 hrs , when it would no longer start . Have cleaned out the burn chamber re -run and same result again . Think ill put my burn chamber in the lathe and part off the end as you have done , looks a cracking idea to make cleaning easier Do you filter your oil & if so down to how many microns ? also is it neat oil or a mixture ? . perhaps pre heating the oil might help it to completely combust . between watching your vid and that of lowered expectations & Dave mclukie , . there is a wealth of helpful info . I haven't seen anybody burn waste oil yet without having the coking up problem , there are a few that claim they have but not with evidence . It seems like its the holy grail . I might try using new engine oil & diesel just to see if its manufacturers additives that cause the coking or debris within the old oil
Hi i unly filter the oil through an old sock or so to get rid of the big chunks so far it worked beautifully I will mack a update viedeo in a fiew weeks
@@hobbychannelgermany5856 you can EFFORTLESSLY 'mechanically separate' all impurities from waste oil (except water) by mixing 100ml water with 5g of gelatin per L of waste oil The wTer/gelatin settles to the bottom of the mix- pulling all impurities with it- then it solidifies trapping said impurities. Robert Murray Smith did a video on it- I think the title was "biodiesel"
Thanks for your video.great info.Instead of cutting off the business end of the combustion chamber could you cut the end off the aluminium extrusion a d make it re mountable to make acessing the mesh even easier ?I notice that there is an extreme amount of heat lost via tbe exaust and thought if you increase the size of the extrusion by modifying one from another machine you could harness more of the heat?Maybe make a longer combustion chamber with a longer mesh to increase service time?What do yo reckon?
Does the extra mesh increase the burn temperature in the chamber? Usually around 200°, is it more? With the extra mesh, did it consume more fuel if using red diesel only?
I hear you must run pump up . Not laying down horizontal. . ? Just saying ? And I heard wadd up a little wire in burn chamber. For more. Volume surface to burn easy. ??? Could clean in ultrasonic cleaner. Cheap don’t build one lol I was just going to use fuel pump and make my own oil burner. And cooker. Many vidios on drip system. But pump may be cool.??
One more note. I did a lot of research, they strongly recommend mounting the pump at a upward angle...nearly straight up and down. It may help it last longer
Watched a fella boil fish guts down to make oil for lighting with a wick lantern. Got to looking into flash point on fish oil is the same as diesel. Was wondering how it would burn in one of those.
I think maybe you did this for me... Cheers. RU-vid seems to have deleted your comment from my video, but I got an email notification. That's an interesting way to deal with cleaning the chamber. I like it. I may do something similar. I rarely use a gasket for the burn chamber either, haha. I'm not sure what my max fan speed is, but yours sounds much faster at 5000 rpm. I'm hoping to be able to tune mine when my new controller comes. Thanks for the video !
Wann machst du den Langzeittest? Wie oft musst du das Metallnetz sauber machen? Wo bekommt man das Metallnetz her? Wie hast du die Brennkammer so sauber aufgeschnitten...mit dem Trennschleifer? Vorab vielen Dank für deine Antworten.
@@roastntoast7550 ich brauche noch mehr zeit das display hat den geist aufgegeben. somit konnte ich die heizung nicht verwenden. die ersatzteile sind unterwegs👍
can you take some pictures so I can see how precisely it needs to be cut? I don't think I have any extra room to cut when fuel comes in, how thick is the disc you cut with?
