It burned 2.5 gallons per hour. We would do at least 5 oil changes per day, sometimes as many as 10. In the summer I would store it up in 55 gallon drums. Being in the auto repair business gave us an endless supply. I had a big shop. If I had to buy oil to heat it, it would have cost me at least 5K a year. The waste oil heater cost me 7K and $500 a year to service it, so it saved me an good amount of money over the years. In my 50 years as an auto mechanic I figure I've done at least 50,000 oil changes and never tested one.
