Used motor oil is a valuable resource produced by many types of businesses, including automobile repair shops, service stations, trucking companies, bus companies, quick lubes, and fleet maintenance facilities. The EPA strongly encourages the recycling of used oil on site for heat recovery and as a means to end your "cradle to grave" liability for used oil. The financial benefits of recycling waste oil by burning on site is something you should learn more about if you produce waste oil. If you can't attend the show, please feel free to call us for more information toll free @ 866-888-1103

Gearing Up For The Heating Season
Cooler weather has arrived! The last couple of mornings have reminded me that Fall is just around the corner. So a few thoughts for Clean Burn waste oil furnace and boiler owners before we head into September:
1) Make sure you have cleaned your furnace, or that you schedule Eco Heating Systems to come do it for you. Periodic annual maintenance is essential to the long term operation of your furnace, and your overall happiness with the furnace! Just as a car or truck needs regular oil changes, your waste oil heater must be cleaned properly on a regular basis (annually for most Clean Burn owners, bi-annually for owners who burn waste oil very heavily such as quick lubes). Clean Burn recommends you have your waste oil furnace cleaned out every 700 hours (for smaller furnaces) to 1000 hours (325,000 btu's and up). Putting off periodic maintenance can cause expensive damage to the furnace and components.
2) Establish a waste oil management program: train your employees on the proper handling of waste oil and the operation of the furnace. It is best to have one employee in charge of the furnace, and a backup in case of illness. It is also important to make sure they understand that clean used oil makes a happy furnace. Contaminants in the used oil supply such as chlorine, anti-freeze, water and brake fluid can cause the furnace to shut down or can damage the waste oil heater parts. Eco Heating Systems can train your employees on the proper operation of the furnace at your next periodic maintenance appointment.
3) Do not let the oil level in your used oil storage tank go below 12"!!! If you are below 12" of waste oil in your tank, you are essentially out of oil. This is the NUMBER ONE reason we get service calls during the heating season. The oil pickup line is typically installed 8" - 10" from the bottom of the tank to help prevent drawing any sludge or contaminants into the oil supply line to the furnace. To avoid paying for a service call, make sure you advise your waste oil hauler to keep about 1/4 of the oil in the tank when they come during the heating season.
And finally, here is the list of acceptable fuels for your Clean Burn used oil heater: Crankcase oil, Transmission Fluid, New Fuel Oils #2, #4 & #5, Synthetic Used Oil, Hydraulic Fluid (up to 90 weight), Diesel Oil and Diesel Fuel (new or used)

Eco Heating Systems will be attending the WMDA Mega Show in Ocean City Maryland. The show runs from September 29 - October 1st 2011.
Robert Bennett with Eco Heating Systems will be hosting a seminar on the Benefits of Recycling Waste Oil For Heat Recovery. Waste oil is a valuable resource produced by many industries, including Automobile Repair Shops, Service Stations, Quick Lube Shops, and Fleet Maintenance Facilities. The seminar will focus on the financial and environmental benefits of burning used oil for heat recovery.
Robert has over 25 years experience in the waste oil heating industry. He served as service manager for Clean Burn for 15 years and was involved in the successful UL listing of Clean Burn waste oil furnaces. Robert also assisted in writing the NFPA 31 Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, Chapter 12: Used Oil Burning Appliances.
Eco Heating Systems will be at booth #309 on September 30th and October 1st. Stop by to see us and to learn more about Clean Burn waste oil furnaces and boilers. Or you may visit our website for more information or to hear about our current offers. http://www.ecowasteoilheaters.com/

Clean Burn Waste Oil Heater Parts - What Clean Burn Owners Need To Know
Clean Burn used oil furnaces and used oil boilers are unique in the waste oil heating industry. Clean Burn waste oil heaters are built from the ground up to burn used oil, unlike other cheaper brands of furnaces. So it is very important that a Clean Burn owner only use factory authorized Clean Burn parts when doing service or periodic maintnenace on their own heaters.
1) Clean Burn Factory Authorized parts will not void your warranty: Your Clean Burn used oil burner must be properly maintained according to the instructions in section 9 of your operators manual. This includes using the correct, factory authorized Clean Burn parts. Using unauthorized parts can damage your furnace, and possibly void your remaining warranty.
2) Most Clean Burn parts are interchangeable: Do you own more than one Clean Burn boiler or furnace? Then you have the opportunity to have some parts on hand that will work with ALL of your models. Common parts that people have on hand for emergencies include an electric igniter (Clean Burn part #33189), 9-5 Nozzle (all models except for CB-5000, Clean Burn part #32002), 9-11 Nozzle (CB-5000 model only, Clean Burn part #32000), single piece electrode (Clean Burn part #33183), and a check valve screen (Clean Burn part# 32061).
3) Availability: Clean Burn parts are always in stock with your local distributor. Beware of purchasing unauthorized parts! The best way to make sure you are getting factory authorized parts is to call Clean Burn at 800-331-0183 and ask for your local distributor's phone number, or visit the Clean Burn website at http://www.cleanburn.com/ and fill out the distributor locator form. Note: Clean Burn does NOT sell parts factory direct. You must contact your local distributor.

What is Used Oil? Am I a Used Oil Generator?
What is Used Oil?
According to the EPA's definition, Used oil (or waste oil) is "any oil that has been refined from crude oil or any synthetic oil that has been used and as a result of such use is contaminated by physical or chemical impurities". This includes petroleum based and synthetic materials that are used for transmission fluid, crankcase oil, hydraulic fluid, heat transfer, or lubrication in vehicles and equipment. The terms used oil and waste oil are used interchangeably in the industry.
To meet EPA's definition of used oil, a substance must meet each of the following three criteria:
Origin — the first criterion for identifying used oil is based on the origin of the oil. Used oil must have been refined from crude oil or made from synthetic materials. Animal and vegetable oils are excluded from EPA's definition of used oil.
Use — the second criterion is based on whether and how the oil is used. Oils used as lubricants, hydraulic fluids, heat transfer fluids, buoyants, and for other similar purposes are considered used oil. Unused oil such as bottom clean-out waste from virgin fuel oil storage tanks or virgin fuel oil recovered from a spill, do not meet EPA's definition of used oil because these oils have never been "used." EPA's definition also excludes products used as cleaning agents or solely for their solvent properties, as well as certain petroleum-derived products like antifreeze and kerosene.
Contaminants — the third criterion is based on whether or not the oil is contaminated with either physical or chemical impurities. In other words, to meet EPA's definition, used oil must become contaminated as a result of being used. This aspect of EPA's definition includes residues and contaminants generated from handling, storing, and processing used oil. Physical contaminants could include metal shavings, sawdust, or dirt. Chemical contaminants could include solvents, halogens, or saltwater.
Your business generates used oil if you: handle waste oil through commercial or industrial operations or from the maintenance of vehicles and equipment. Farmers who produce less than 25 gallons/month of used oil are excluded from generator status, as are individuals who produce waste oil from the maintenance of their personal vehicles.
