Hi. its a similar principle to a paraffin blow lamp. the oil drips in a chamber turns to gas and ignites,all the time its fed with oil it burns.just need to filter the oil first,not suitable for the living room as its a bit noisey, but ok for a cellar or garage.regards. stuart.

I've heard things about used cooking oil being reprocessed and used to fuel converted diesel engines. It sorta works. But the main problem is source for the used cooking oil. There's not so much you can get for large scale production even in a big city.
