Hello all,
Long time reader, first time poster.
I am planning on building a small gasifier to run an IC engine for
electricity and heat.
About 3/4 of my available energy is in the form of chipped forest waste
and the balance is waste oil.
If possible I would like to add the waste oil to a downdraft gasifier for
drying and cracking.
Has this been tried and were the results favorable or would I be wasting
my time.
My thought was to control oil flow by utilizing a vacuum pump from the
engine.
Obviously I could use the waste oil in a separate burner, but that would
seem to be unnecessary, perhaps not.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Mark,
Filter the oil,mix it with diesel, and burn it in a diesel motor.
Also, soak the oil into the wood chips and burn them for heat.
