    OK - was thinking earlier - what about getting an old diesel pump - couple it to the injectors - then you have instant control of it - remove the middle out the solenoid plunger and stick a fan/motor to blow the hot air and turn the pump.

    will be great untill it clogs up.

    Spraying it in is no good, it'll get to hot and melt everything, its drip feed only, as for clogging up i think a diesel pump + injectors pumping used engine oil will last in about 3 mins if your lucky

    If your avrudge car is say 88KW so if you strip car down SI you only have engine/box fwd connect to driveshafts a dunk a d/or (iShit Failiure) dyno or water pump so its going against its self, therory you have 88kw heater that will warm the radiators round workshop very quick, then once every ???? Restart to reheat.

    On topic:-

    needs a little refining, like comments say blower and/or smaller holes high pressure drip pipe to make a mist, use airline to pressure the oil

    Do not use petrol or diesel engine to warm liquids. They have poor efficiency for that task.
    The only intelligent use for them is to carry weight from A to B without doing burnout (pure rotation).
