[TheForge] Oil fired forges

[gladish]

Dave, I looked into this for running my Ford diesel, and it's my
understanding that once you use chemical catalysts to convert WVO to
biodiesel the viscosity is similar to fossil diesel. The guys who are
burning WVO in their cars have to have a preheater, though...
Unless you make your own, there's no economic reason to burn b.d. in the
shop- it's about 1/3 more expensive around here than fossil.
