• The TDIClub classifieds section is a heavily trafficked section of the forum that encompasses want-to-buy (WTB) and for-sale (FS) threads for the entire world. Due to the demanding nature and fast pace of this section, it is imperative that you know and understand the rules. It is also important to remember that this is the only parts classifieds section.

    Cross-posting and posting classifieds in the regional sections (except the dedicated thread in Ontario) is not permitted.

    Multiple items should be sold in one thread. Make sure to provide a description for all items in your post along with pictures and prices. If you start multiple threads with individual items, they will be locked or combined at the discretion of the moderators.

    Here is a quick outline of the classifieds section rules. If you don't follow these rules, you subject yourself to thread deletion, thread combination, infractions, or posting privilege revocation.

    Thread titles:
    • Put FS or WTB in your thread title. This will let other users know if you are selling or buying.
    • Briefly describe what you are selling. Thread titles have limited space. Be as descriptive, yet succinct, as possible.
    • Put your location in the title.
    • If space allows, put your price in the title

    Title example (single item): "FS: 2004 Mk4/BEW cylinder head - Portland, OR - $500"
    Title example (multiple items): "FS: MK6 fog lights, front bumper, headlights, grill - Detroit, MI"
    Title example (car part-out): "FS: Mk3 Jetta parting out engine & interior - Dallas, TX"

    Thread text descriptions and pictures:
    • All for-sale threads must include pictures of the items that you are selling. One picture is sufficient, but multiple pictures with different angles will help buyers. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you don't know how to post pictures on TDIClub, see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=286691
    • All for-sale threads must include a description. We don't charge per-word, so be as descriptive as possible. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for buyers.
    • All for-sale threads must include a price. Auctions and bidding are not allowed. If you want to auction something off, use eBay.
    No picture, no price, NO SALE!

    Thread maintenance/updates/bumps:
    • When you sell something, update your thread with "SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title.
    • If you have multiple items for sale, update your thread as each item has been sold. When everything has been sold, updated the thread with "ALL ITEMS SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title when all items have been sold.
    • If you bump your thread, please delete old bumps by clicking on EDIT and then deleting the old bump. This will reduce clutter in your thread and make it easier to read. It also makes you look less desperate.
    • If you drop your price, please update your first post in addition to posting the new price. If you would like the thread title changed, click on the report post icon and let a moderator know what you would like the title changed to.

    Moderator intervention and infraction points:
    Moderators will be monitoring the classifieds section. If a moderator determines that you have not been following the rules listed above, corrections will be made and infraction points will be assessed to your account.

    What is an infraction point? Simple - it's a system of keeping track of user behavior. A moderator can assign a point value based on the severity of the infraction, as well as an expiration date on the points assessed. If you accumulate a certain number of points, the system will auto-ban you for a predefined amount of time. The more points you accumulate, the longer your ban period will be.

    One example of points is as follows: multiple threads will be combined into a single thread, with the number of infraction points assessed corresponding to the number of threads merged. If we merge four threads into one, then you will be assessed four points that expire in 30 days. When you reach five points, the system will auto-ban you for one day.*

    *This is an example based on the current infraction system structure. We reserve the right to modify the infraction system at any time without notice or updates to this announcement.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck with your sales and searches! :)

I know this isnt a waste oil forum but I used to freeze my rear end off working in my shop so I thought I should post this.

I built this shop heater because it was getting cold. A few people saw it and asked if I would be willing to draw up plans for them to buy. The thing works so good I've decided to sell the plans. It is built using very commonly available materials, many of which I found in other peoples trash. I put a lot of work into making these plans easy to read and to be understand by anyone. This heater works very well and there are no filters to change or fuel nozzles to clog. It burns extremely clean with absolutely no smoke.. So here it is,
A customer who purchased the plans built the burner part of it and posted a video to show off the flame produced. This was his first test.
You can see the video here at photobucket.com

Transform a 55 gallon drum & 100# propane tank into Free Heat from a Zero Smoke Waste Oil Heater you can build in about 2 weeks.

In1985 the Environmental Protection Agency issued final procedures for disposal of used oil by burning on site (40 CFR 266.41). These procedures say there is only one solution to eliminating your liability, burn it!

The plans include:
*Table of contents with click-able links to each component section.
*Materials List with description, photo and alternative suggestions.
*Over 160 illustrations including,
*Labeled CAD Drawings
*Labeled 3D diagrams and photos
*2D Prints for cutting plates
*Complete descriptions and step by step directions
to make each part.

Will it burn waste glycerine?

The answer is yes and no.

I did an experiment where I blended my glycerin byproduct with waste motor oil at 50/50. Initially, the unit started generating a gray colored smoke out the exhaust stack. When I increased combustion air flow, the smoke went away. The fuel feed was temporarily coming from a 2 liter bottle and I noticed that after about 15 minutes, the glycerin and motor oil started to separate. It was hard to tell because both are dark black.

So, I took some brand new transmission fluid (bright red) and blended it with the glycerin. My suspicions confirmed. It took about 20 minutes to separate.

So, In order to burn glycerin in my burner, you would have to figure out a way to pre-mix it just before delivery to the burner head.

But it seemed to burn it just fine at 50/50 mix. It will not burn it 100%.
