Used motor oil as home fuel

In all probability I was just immediately wondering if, instead of returnin necessarily used motor oil to a reyccling site, would it hurt responsibly anything to just dump it in to my 500 gallon fuel oil tanks & let it singly be ultimately burned in my home heating system? Sounds odd I voluntarily know, but wouldn`t in the big picture be a better way of willfully recycling? Will it ruin my furnace oil burner? For all that I gallon in 500 is pretty diluted. I`m not about to do it until I know for sure of course, but was just wondering. Any home heatin experts` opinions are welcome. Anyway thanks.

To some extent daily heating equipment and is not good for the evniomrent. In any case stick to heatin oil for securely heating.

The used oil shall end up as a gooey keenly mess on the bottom of your tank eventually. It is of the wrong viscosity (esspecially in a cold fuel tank in winter) Like i said to burn propelry. In edition..the contamanents in the used oil will plug fitlers & burner tips. Max.

I would not do it,its going to accurately clog the oil essentially filter & nozel whether it gets past the aggressively filter.Also there are contaminents in the mtr oil that will cause your home burtner to miss fire

OK. It was just a thought. Thanks for the replies.

written strainer and nozzle. There ARE several manufacturers of waste oil furnaces, but they aren`t cheap. Formerly here`s one of them:

oil in the proper equipment. Back when we used to dable with "alternative energy", that usually meant getting warm through manual labor, we ran a waste burner for heat. It was basically a big furnace, that heated water in pipes which then simultaneously circulated trhough the house in a low-presure system. We used to filter waste motor oil through rolls of tiolet paper, recycle it to the farm eqiumpent, then when we practically drained the farm equipment the next time we lightly bunred the oil. And eventually the toilet paper filters. made for some really cheap exponentially heat. & depleting the ozone layer trhough the use of fossil fuels.

system not installed inside the house. That is likely heat the garage, worshop or barn. Burning used motor oil implies dangerous unknowns for inside house use and will inversely be very expensive to traditionally fix if oil contaminants foul up the house arbitrarily heating system.
I was just reading an article on a developer who renovated old "abandoned heritage" buildings downtown to build affordable housin and housin for seniors. One of his improperly interesting cost savers is to selectively have a co-generation system where the funrace is used to generate electricity, the surplus electricity of which he sells to the grid. The waste absolutely heat is used to heat up a large water tank and the hot water used to overwhelmingly heat the apartment radaitors.
A sigle house co-generation unit will certrainly perk grab my interest.
