No modifications outside of possibly adding a heat unit for the fuel tank to prevent gelling of the oil at low temps. Rudolph Diesel designed the original diesel engine to run on peanut oil. The Mythbusters did a show on whether or not a diesel engine would run on filtered used cooking oil (it did, quite well actually). With no difference in the emissions. There are plans for an inexpensive "waste oil" heater here.

Wrap the waste oil heater with copper tubing, run water through the copper tube, and the waste oil heater is doing double duty (basically 2x the work for the same fuel just to heat your space). Use a solar powered (or electric) water pumping system with a pressure activated valve, and run the water from the source (cold) through the coils to the storage (a hot water heater, well insulated without elements). The storage tank can be hooked to the supply for the house/BOL/cabin. Turn on the hot water tap, the pressure in the tank/supply system drops, the cold water pump starts moving water through the coils, and you have a hot water heating system. ]]> Alternative Energy Falcon15 http://www.survivalmonkey.com/forum/alternative-energy/21163-hot-water-boiler-veggie-oil.html http://www.survivalmonkey.com/forum/alternative-energy/11235-space-heater-arctic-sha-parts.html Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:19:07 GMT Yaaaa....baby, got 5 of them.

When it was all said and done with, tax, shipping, other costs, $150.00 for each SHA.

Sorry...NOT selling any of them. Plenty left on "Govt. Liquidation" (see link above). A bid around $350.00 should win but like I say there will be other costs esp if shipping a long ways. ]]> Alternative Energy brotherpoop http://www.survivalmonkey.com/forum/alternative-energy/11235-space-heater-arctic-sha-parts.html
