I used a toilet float and valve I got from McMaster in my small heated waste oil tank.

This is for the conversion of a burner from heating oil to waste oil. You pump oil to a tank, where it is heated and then it gravity feeds to the nozzle where it is propelled into the combustion chamber and ignited using compressed air.

THIS THREAD will tell you more than you ever want to know. For further reading, you can join a forum dedicated to these conversions..... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/altfuelfurnace/

Yahoo forums stink in the way they are formatted, very old fashioned, but the information is there for someone dedicated to doing this.
