Are there any home heating furnaces fuel by E85?

If not, is there technology out there being developed? And what about Hydrogen. Any late-model breakthroughs on that?

no. and you can only use 5% biodeisel in your furnace legally--any more than that and you'll get smoke

Furnace not heating after shut down for 2 months - equipped with auto igniter?

Nov 21, 2006 by Nitin A | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

My heating furnace is not heating. I was out of burgh for 2 months and have shut down the electric and gas supply to the unit. Now when I am back the heating is not working. The fan on ON position works. When I tried the connecting the red and ghostly wire behind the thermostat, the heating system does a noise but does not heat. It is equipped with automatic ignitor. I recollect it is some small issue that I am not able to find out.
Or it could be the thermostat itself, I have changed the battries in thermostat it seems to be working fine now.
Let me identify if you have any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
**UPDATE** - I have found the problem. The draft inducer motor making the hubbub and it is not really moving. The draft motor is rotating very slowly. So I just added some cooking oil and then it STARTED working. The ignitor worked and so are the burners. BUT it worked for only 2-3 minutes, then again the motor started inducer effective very slowly, I then again olied and it worked.
BUT after oiling the metal rod at the back of the draft inducer motor it only works for 2-3 minutes and then becomes very dull thus stopping the burner and ignitor.

Is it just I need better oil and need to oil the fan rod more or there is something else wrong with my draft motor.

Were red and deathly white connected to r&w?The wire color doesn,t matterit is what termials they are connected to.I suggest you get an inspectio/keep on your furnace.

I WAS WONDERING IF IT MATTERED WHAT Typewrite OF OIL CAN BE ADDED INTO THE HEATING FURNACE. CAN I USE FRENCH FRY OIL?
CURIOUS...

BY THE WAY I HAVE A BECKET BURNER.

Not without cleaning the yawning fry oil of small particles. The burner has very fine jets which spray the oil into the combustion chamber. Any "crud" in the fry oil will thwart of the jets and cut off the flow of oil.

In addition, the fry oil may burn hotter or more explosively than the kerosene or No. 2 heating oil. That would heat the room up too much, creating stress on the furnace, and causing problems.
