My hobby is waste oil burners. Looking 4 dosing pump that can do short bursts of 0ml-30ml per minute.

I'm looking for a single dosing pump that's around US$150 with Wifi or bluetooth that can deliver say short bursts of several ml for say two seconds, or 0.15ml-0.5ml per second.

I hope I got that right. I'm planning on using between 10 litres (2.64gallons) per 24 hours to 40 litres per 24 hours. Optimally 20-30 litres per day.

A dosing pump would be perfect for this...and low wattage for an off-gridder.

What would you suggest please? Am I dreaming?

You also have to consider the material of construction for all wetted parts so they don’t dissolve. The oil might not be the issue but contaminants in the oil might be.

Not what you’re asking but any of the pumps I tried were more trouble than they were worth. At the end of the day the best set up for all my rigs was gravity feeding a smaller pipe with a needle or ball valve (depending on furnace size) to a larger pipe as a pre-heater before introducing it to the burner box. This worked for larger setups as well as small and only required adjustment if I altered the fuel source considerably. Cold starts took attention but that was the case even with mechanical injection.

Burning waste oil for power/heat is cool AF!!

Any chance you have an off the grid reef tank too?
