Used Oil Stove for Shop Heat

Conclusion

After hooking up the chimney and fuel lines, I grabbed a used oil jug to do a test burn.  What came out of the jug was mostly coolant!! Ugh! So a few hours later after the oil tank was cleaned out and reinstalled, I was able to do a test burn.  I had to soak a piece of rag in oil and put it inside and lit it with a blow torch.  Once lit, the stove burned quite well apart from the poor weld at the bottom which leaked oil. I will have to fix that before I can use it properly.  The stove makes quite a bit of roaring noise, fuel flow control is good. I might have to add a blower to make it burn a bit cleaner, but all in all it was a success!
