Oil hit $100/barrel today, my oil bill was outrageous (I live in the Northeast) before the price was this high. Since home heating oil is essentially diesel, and you can run Biodiesel/refined vegetable oil in a diesel powered automobile with virtually no modifications. Would it be possible to heat your home with these?Is it possible to run a home furnace on Vegetable oil or Biodiesel?
As long as the system is set up to burn it, no problem. Fuel oil is about the same viscosity, so I doubt that ther would be a lot of changes, if any. Consult a home-heating company, or better yet, ask a company that sells biodiesel if they know what adjustments you need to make, and if they do them. You may have to have your fuel tank emptied and cleaned, again ask the biodiesel company.Is it possible to run a home furnace on Vegetable oil or Biodiesel?
My mechanic runs his furnace at the shop on old motor oil he gets from oil changes, but he has to filter it first.
