Default Waste oil heat

I have solar power and don't have lots of watts to wast. I came up with this turbo charged space heater. It is the olde time drip kind with the carburator on the back . I got rid of the carb and use a hydraulic flow controle needel valve. I blocked off all the holes where natural aspirated air would enter and use one hole to force air in to assist burning. I use 2 four inch 12 volt bisket fans to force air in and now I can successfully burn up to 50% WVO mind you it has to be cleaned out every 4-5 days. If you don't use the forced air I found it would only burn the lighter fuel and leave a black bubbling goo that was a bitch to clean. I have now heated my dog kennel for 4 months and through some cold -30c temps
