i have a legit blower that i think has two speeds, probably in the pile of parts under my apartment storage.  i used it for a heater blower motor in my CJ.  its about leaf blower size, not quiet but not crazy loud.  its 12v

i found some 120mm fans that push 130cfm for cheap so i ordered a couple so i just need a power suppy to power them. something else i plan to do is get maybe 3" exhaust pipe and run them through the tank with fans behind them to blow warm air into the room

Oh I gotcha. Should be no problem as long as you can figure out Dell oem wiring. Shoot me a text during the week to remind me...

I see "not heavier than #2" on the UL label, may require thinning or orifice adjustments

or gasoline (preferably OLD, at least for diesel ICE use - I rather doubt the octane would be an issue for an open burner) or diesel or...

we use gasoline to thin waste motor oil when making fuel for the 12v trucks. I would think it would be fine for this, but the conditions are a lot different. The older the gas the better.

roughly 15% gasoline 85% waste oil worked well. make sure its filtered well and pull vertically up on any waste oil tank. this prevents pulling any of the debris from the bottom (there is always a lot of sludge).

current config.
3/8"s line insufficient upgraded to 1/2" with a drip feed visual
computer fan worked well but still low efficiency, hard to concentrate the air into a small pipe. replaced with a air mattress pump that i thought would burn out after a day but still running strong after a week , up to about 98% efficiency, still not t-shirt conditions but i blame that on high non insulated ceiling and very drafty doors.burns a lot of oil in this config about 2 gal in 4 hours, speaking of which anyone have any oil?
