Waste oil (out with the wood )

Well after 2 years of wood , this year I have gone back to oil .....Waste oil tho !!!!!
Still retaining the wood burner (in case I have to revert back) only change is a new front door to hold the burner .

First mock up on bench using a rotorvane pump i made,This proved to be too much for the motor ..i may come back to this at a later date 
Flame with on board compressor (rotorvane)
Temp pid for the control of oil preheater
First fit on boiler ,this proved to be too far away from back of boiler .

Second Fit door modded to let motor in .This puts flame near back of boiler, also done away with  rotorvane  and using outboard compressor

Cold weather thick oil ....oil heater just needs plumbing in this should allow the oil to pass through filter faster
Piped up and producing heat ....yeah ...all i have to do now is press the button .Beats the hell out of chopping wood ;-)
