Testing New Motor Oil vs Waste Motor Oil in a Diesel Heater

TLDRIn this video, we test the performance of new motor oil versus waste motor oil in a diesel heater. We aim to determine if the build-up in the burn chamber is caused by the waste oil. The results show that the waste oil does contribute to the build-up, but it is not the main cause. We also thank our subscribers and provide discount codes for purchasing similar heaters.

Key insights

🔥The burn chamber build-up in the diesel heater is not solely caused by waste oil.

🔧New motor oil performs better in reducing build-up compared to waste motor oil.

😯The heat exchanger temperature is not as hot as expected, indicating an issue with the heat sensor.

🤔Further improvement in insulation between the burn chamber and heat exchanger is needed.

Q&A

Does waste motor oil cause build-up in the burn chamber?

While waste motor oil does contribute to build-up, it is not solely responsible for it.

Does new motor oil perform better in reducing build-up?

Yes, new motor oil performs better in reducing build-up compared to waste motor oil.

Is there an issue with the heat sensor?

Yes, the temperature readings indicate a potential issue with the heat sensor in the heat exchanger.

How can the insulation between the burn chamber and heat exchanger be improved?

Improvements can be made by using thicker gaskets or exhaust gasket material.
