Frquently Asked Questions
How much used oil must I generate per year to make buying a used-oil heater or boiler a practical decision?
- The average minimum volume of used oil you must generate annually is between 500 and 700 gallons. You can also burn #2 fuel oil if you run short of used oil. Doesn't a used oil furnace produce black, sooty smoke and pollute the air?
- Absolutely not. Waste oil heaters burns as cleanly as a #2 fuel-oil furnace. In fact, they are designed to burn #2 fuel oil in addition to used oil.
Won't various viscosities of crankcase or transmission oil affect the combustion efficiency of my waste oil heater? How often will I have to clean the ash from inside the waste oil furnace? What's the average length of time for payback on a used oil furnace? And, will I ever really enjoy FREE heat? What is "cradle-to-grave" liability and how can it affect the way I dispose of used oil? Isn't it more convenient and less troublesome for me to contract with a hauler or refiner to transport my used oil? Is there any way to duct a waste oil heater?
