Hi: The cost would be unsubstantiated to convert one to another, ( However!!!!!) going out and buying a gas burner furnace to fit your needs would be reasonable. You are talking about quiet a bit of engineering and finese that goes into these things plus the fact they are tested over and over in many ways for all kinds of extremes for safety purposes and the consumer. You would be bypassing all of this hard work and intelligent design (NOT TO MENTION) Hard learned experience of engineers and design technicians. Let me also warn you,,, oil used as a heating fuel gives out a tremendous amount of heating value per given storage area. I do think what you have in mind is very noble and neat. I commend you for your curiosity and concern to learn. I especially admire innovation and people like yourself whom inpire it and carry it on. Please take my advice on this one: Buy a factory designed and built system. Your safety and your loved ones is at stake on such endevours inside your home.

Can used car oil be used in home oil burner systems?
Car oil is much too viscous and heavy for a home oil burner, which uses light oil similar to kerosene. This is apart from the used oil being rich in black material from the combustion process in the engine. It will damage your burner.

How much cheaper is natural gas heating than oil heating?
== == It depends on where you live and the cost of the fuel. You have to convert to the heating value of gas and oil, factor in efficiency, and then compare the cost per BTU's. For example: Determine the cost of gas vs. oil in your area: For example, heating oil in Seattle is $4.10 per gallon while gas is $1.09 per therm. Next, calculate the cost of fuel per MMBTU's. Knowing that heating oil has 138,690 BTU per gallon and natural gas has 100,000 BTU per therm, you can calculate using this equation: $ cost --------- X 1,000,000 = cost per MMBTU BTU's The result of the above step is $29.56/MMBTU for oil, and $10.87/MMBTU for gas. Next, divide the above by the efficiency of the furnace. Oil furnaces are 80 to 90% efficient and gas furnaces are typically 83% efficient. The net cost of the fuel per MMBTU is $34.78 for oil and $13.09 for gas in this scenario. If your old house uses 63 MMBTU a heating season, that is a total of $2,200 for oil and $824 for gas for the whole heating season

How much does it cost to replace an oil burning furnace with electric or gas?
A product called a "conversion burner" is available. The oil gun would be removed and the conversion burner would be mounted via a universal flange to the studs the oil gun was mounted on. These can be fired with nat. gas or lpg. (Use nat. if available-cheaper). 600-800 retail plus installation. Dependent on your cost per kw for electricity, strip heat elements may be retrofitted to the supply ductwork for about 100 each plus install. Check the costs per btu of your local fuel options. Also, many rebates and incentives are being offered by local utilities and the gov't. Good luck lc
