35. Hmmm

1) If you mean like a home furnace, I would hesitantly say no - most of them have very fine nozzeles that clog really easy - Used cooking oil has a lot of grit and protiens and stuff in it that would likely clog up most furnaces. I wouldn't doubt you could find one made for biodiesel, though.

2) Standard chimney. And yes, it has to preheat the oil.

3) Couldn't tell you. The tank and flue are homemade, the motor's cobbled together out of a billion parts, and I'm not the guy who put it together :) I do the job, but I'm not the jerry-rig genius 'round these parts.
