The is the torpedo oil burner that was featured in earlier Vids. It was designed to be started and pre heated with gas. A friend wanted to know if it were possible to start the thing on diesel or Kero. I didn't think it would be easily but I had no trouble.
I did not push the lit paper back far enough into the burner initially but once that was done and the rest of the paper caught alight, it came up very easily.
The fuel used was Waste Vegetable oil but any non inflammable liquid fuel can be used . The burner is suitable for Metal melting, water heating, Home or shed heating and other applications where a reliable source of stable free heat is needed.
