- Get your heating going again with this super simple to make portable oil tank This very easy to make portable emergency fill kit is very handy in an emergency when all you can get is small amounts of kerosene or diesel. I just used the following fittings to put this together
1/2 inch lever valve,
1/2 inch Bulk head Fitting,
1/2 x 10mm brass coupling.
3/8 x 1/4 standard oil line
Very easy build and can be connected if the tank is empty or broken some how.
Hope this helps
Cheers Gerry

Absolutely brilliant, my daughter bought a house in Kildare it was rented out no oil left in tank we didn't no if boiler burner was working done this exactly she was Absolutely delighted that it was working she was panicking she would need a new boiler, so she ordered oil today thanks a mill John Dublin
Just what I need as a temporary set up while I move the main oil tank which is going to take a few days. Thanks a lot !
Awesome, a customer of my has her oil nicked everytime she filled her tank. She is sick of it so this is the answer. Thanks
I love your idea of taking that to a job site to test an install without having to wait on others.
Hi OldMysticFantasist. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Great seeing you here again. Best regards Gerry👍
Would you think of setting up a business of making 5 gallon tanks.... due to the current climate and situation with fuel,it could be a massive benefit to people who could only afford small fills and with the current fuel shortage people could manage usage and efficiently
Gerry great video,my father’s old steel oil tank was leaking,and he was without heating for a few days but I found this vid and put it together and it works great it will get him buy till after lockdown when I get a new tank,thanks
Hi Ivan. Just spotted you comment as the channel goes mental in winter. A couple of these makes filling the one connected to the burner very easy. Delighted you got your Dad's burner going again Well done Cheers Gerry 👍👍
Another very easy to follow informative video, great stuff, keep them coming.
Great idea, especially if your old oil tank is bopped!
Thanks Garden Angel 👍Cheers Gerry
I had to syphon paraffin out of a 4 liter container to get the heating going last winter - it was a bit heath-robinson, but saw us through the weekend until we could get a delivery. Might use your idea to have in reserve in case it happens again. Thanks Gerry, keep up with the great videos.
Hi Pete. I have made quite a few of these for people over the years. Very handy to have around. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍👍
Simply brilliant !! Genius idea ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks for commenting Vespa. I know it's only a plastic tank but it's great for getting a system going again if the tank has problems or if money is an issue. Cheers Gerry 👍👍
Thanks. This really helped me out. Nice tip. All the best
Hi Martin. Really appreciate the comment Cheers Gerry 👍👍
Great instruction.... Such a handy backup to have. 👏👏
GerrrysDiy: I see what is on the workbench. Can't fool me. DIY motor for a powered paraglider? Quad or trike ? I'm like flies on manure. Can't wait.
Hi Stanley. I will be flying the paramotor to day so I hope to have a little chat on video from above. Well spotted. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍👍
Great vid Gerry... What size hole are you drilling with the tapered bit for the 1/2" tank connector pls.. So the its snug fit
Great as usual. ..Brilliant. thank you 😃Cheers. ..
Hello Love Doing Craft. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry👍
Very useful, excellent
your a genius Gerry top vid
Hi Hoodie. Hope all is well with you. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
👍
Brilliant video I’m definitely making one of these
Hi DP Just saw your comment Hope it all worked out for you Cheers Gerry 👍👍
Hi I’ve moved house and never got around to making one would you have a list of fittings that I need to do the job thanks again and love the videos
Thumbs up Gerry
Thanks Maui. Cheers Gerry👍👍
Kool videos Gerry very handy system does it need to have a filter very do able keep them videos coming i am hooked 😊👍🍻
Hi Stephen. A filter on the tank would make the connection a bit big but adding a filter to the line at the burner would be very easy to implement. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍👍
Super .
Wrap threads with old aluminum can or something sacrificial to keep from smashing them when you need to do the right thing the wrong way😃
Thanks Jason for the tip Cheers Gerry
What use for small fuel tank for a hunting camp. Gas jug
Good to see you channel with a new video....havnt seen much of you for a while...
Have you done any flying lately? I see your prop on the balancer in the background.
Hi Joey. Been really busy for the last few months. I put a video up a few months ago where I got into trouble and landed in the trees on my paraglider. The BBC saw that video and asked could they interview me. Hope to fly the paramotor tomorrow and /or Monday as well. Hope you are doing well Joey Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍
I set this up and when the oil burner is firing the drum slowly contracts, is this normal or should there be a pinhole at the top to allow air back in above the oil? Again, sorry if this is a silly question
Hi Sean. It's important to leave the lid slightly unscrewed so that the pressure can equalise. As the burner is removing the fuel from the drum the drum will contract. You are making vacuum. Hope this helps. Well done on getting it made. Cheer s Gerry 👍
@@GerrysDiy great Gerry, thanks very much for replying and hope to see more videos 👍
very cool!
Gerry,what are the sizes of each item needed.
This is my next To Do 🙌
Howya gerry. Good vid. Tip... Turn down the gain on the camera you have the lapel mic connected to. The audio level is very hot. Regards from downtown Athlone
Hello George in Athlone. Got as far as Portlaoise a few days ago, lovely part of the country. I'll watch the audio levels. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
Could do a video on oil burners using used oil/ cooking?
Hi Celtic Bear. I have installed a new flue in the shed and I will be hooking it up to a stove during the week. After I get that running I will get one of these riello burners working on veggie oil. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍
What about used motor oil
@@fordracer1415 Hi.. It will run on waste motor oil too. Cheers Gerry
GerrysDiy thanks for the response. Love your videos. Anxious to start my own project have learned a lot from you. Thanks again
I made several temp fuel tanks for testing old trucks at my shop out of 1 gallon gas cans in a similar way. Eliminate the main tank and pump to see if it solved an issue. On this topic In the case you mention id rather see a homeowner buy 5 gallons of fuel in a gas can and pour it in the main tank. This would be safer i believe too. Think of a homeowner that has a burner in the basement. He swaps lines thinking hes out of fuel and lights the burner. All is good and person heads upstairs. The all of the sudden some crud or rust flakes dribble out the main tank line and it starts flowing again..... see where this could be a bad situation. May want to add some guidelines for testing and perhaps a screw in plug for the main line you disconnected just in case. :)
But yea Home Depot in the USA even has the bulkhead fittings to add a hole to a 5 gallon bucket. Brewers etc sometimes use them.
Thanks Scoutcartel for that insight and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated Cheers Gerry👍
Why didn't you use the rubber washer?
Hi Elijah. Kerosene is corrosive to the washer. As the container is plastic the tank connector makes a perfect seal without the need for washers. Works great. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍
Excellence
Great to see you back Gerry. Hope your keeping well. Now back to the waste oil burners with you. 👍👍
Hi Rory..
Hope to get back at it in a couple of days. The weather here is lovely for winter at the moment so I hope to go flying on the paramotor today. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Cheers Gerry 👍👍
What size is the tank connector? Sorry if this is a silly question
Hi Sean. Its just a 1/2 inch tank connector. If you cut the hole correctly you wont need any washers inside the tank. Good luck Cheers Gerry
talk about your prop balancer.
Hi James. The weather here in Ireland is very nice today and I am planning to take the paramotor for a spin. I have to balance that prop yet so I'll do it on video very soon. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
Does kerosene= paraffin in IRLUK?
They are almost the same and both will burn clean in this burner. Cheers Gerry
Lots more will be doing this now with the price of heating oil sky rocketing.
Hmm....I just pour the 5 gallons into my tank
That is dangerous!! No fire valve and drum of oil right next to burner.
Why do we alsways scan a persons workshop!!
