Does anyone know of a greenhouse heater that works off Central Heating
Oil?. I have a tank full of CH Oil and it is a pain in the backside to
keep filling my heater with parrafin. I was thinking if I could link
it up with the CH Oil Tank it would save a lot of hassle.

CH oil is essentially diesel. It does not ignite at atmospheric pressure.

Heaters which use such oil, and old engine oil, do exist, but are probably
not for domestic G/H use. The only ones I've seen are industrial and
expensive.

A diesel car would run nicely on it, but HM customs won't like you, and
anyway, it wasn't me who told you that. No, no, not me.

There are heaters which run on central heating oil, the problem is
they have to have a flue to the outside as both Diesel and Gas oil
have much to much Sulfur in them, if burned inside a greenhouse the
sulfur would wipe out ALL of your plants.
Buy yourself a Gas heater and then you can get the large red
cylinders,
