Re: [Biofuel] SPACE HEATERS
Hallo Jim, I don't know about any specific brand names but kerosene space heaters have been around for years and years. They are unvented.

Check these http://www.wallas.fi/index_eng.php?page=31&PHPSESSID=705777f49548a7102f6437a b5cf9e270 I have the smaller one in our summer cottage. I haven't yet tried BD, but it works great with normal heatingoil so BD should be just fine.

Re: [Biofuel] space heaters used with WVO
would let you know that I heat my oil in a 55 gal drum that is mounted on an angle-iron stand under which is a cast iron propane burner. The oil I get from two restaurants is double layer quality which is about 2/3 obvious oil and 1/3 gravey looking stuff i call "Gunk"> This stuff is the animal fat and is thick and ugly. This is the stuff I throw in my 55 gal drum that I get for free when I spend $180 for the methanol. I just cut the top off and drill a hole in the side as far down as possible then I screw in a plastic baffle fitting that I got from U.S. Plastic and mount a 3/4 PVC ball valve in it. Takes about !/2 hour with the right tools. Did I loose you already? OK anyway I heat up these Gunk batches in this thing untill the Gunk looks good then I shut off the burner tritrate and the open up the meth drum to do the reaction. No exploding cause theres no open flame... Hope this helps...DB - Original Message - From: "John Guttridge" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 8:41 AM Subject: [Biofuel] space heaters used with WVO so I am looking for a way to heat my shop that I will be making biodiesel in and I looked at this: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library/ethanol_motherearth/me7.html I am more than a little concerned that I might ignite my methanol vapors with it though. anyone have any suggestions? I was considering putting the thing outside and using it to heat water which I would then use to carry the heat inside (or perhaps some other fluid like oil that vaporizes much hotter than water but maybe oil is too much of a fire hazard) also it seems like I could make it just as well in a used 55gal drum instead of the water heater tank they are using just needs to be a box that gets hot right?
