most heat exchangers are two to three grades of steel thicker. Don't use waste oil in a conventional furnace, the risk of CO and toxic poisoning is just too great!

    Waste oil conversion?

    Is it possible to use waste oil instead of fuel oil in
    the same furnace, if so what does one have to do with the
    burner, nozzle, venting etc,,,, any insight would be
    greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
    Harvey

    completely different animals. The waste oil burner has a different nozzle often has an oil heater and uses low pressure air atomization of the oil. Then there is the UL legal thing
