I've been around some drip oil heaters that worked pretty good

I've had thoughts of trying to find an old broken diesel torpedo heater and re-work it to run on waste oil drip. the fan would allow forced heat in my direction LOL.
Your not. Without a shroud the fan is helpless moving hot are behind the radiator NOT through it … The high side of the A/C overheats and cycles the compressor too frequently at a stoplight. It can’t get the oil moving well cycling like that. Combine that with a hot compressor and extreme high side pressure and it shortens the already short life of the R4. Body expands and the o rings puke.

A friend over here would use an old diesel engine piston.
Set that in his wood burning stove on top of a grate.
Light a fire in the stove then when it got to going real good crack open the oil feed valve that the Copper/steel tube would drip oil atop of that old piston.
Rate of feed varies on how warm or cold it is outside.
Some people place the oil barrel inside their shop, then as the shop warms up the rate of flow has to be cut back so there would be no burning oil flowing acrost the shop floor when the oil in the barrel warms real good.
