Oil tank evaporator

[reck9953]

My 2nd year & I want to double the amount of taps. I have a old oil tank to make an evaporator out of. Just need some advice on how to a few things... what to insulate with. How big to make fire box and what to use for grates what kind of blower to use... I have power to the site. I also wanna use a flat pan. Thanks

The size of your pan will determine some of your answers. How big is the pan? Insulate with a non combustible insulation. I used roxul bats in my past oil tank evap and had good success. They are non combustible up to 2100*. For the grates I used angle iron with 1/2 in spacing in between positioned vvvvvv like that. What kind of blower doesn't matter as much as how to control how much air you get, like putting a damper or ball valve on the air intake pipe.
