As above, I kindof want a genset that will run occasionally off the copious waste oil I have, probably only needs to generate 1kw or so...

China Yanmar diesel clone, comes in many colours/names

I picked up a near new one for under a grand a few years back and was happy about it. Haven't done big hours on it, but happy enough.

Have not run on oil, could be hard to start without glow system. Maybe start and stop on diesel, and switch to oil inbetween?

Very loud and vibratory.

Looks like this but red.

I would think a diesel start then switch over would be the go, with some level of oil preheating going on. And a decent filtering process for the waste oil...

I have a few of them. One I run as my backup generator for my off grid setup. I have a petrol and a diesel lister that both seem to run on just about anything combustible.

Are they large and noisy?

I really like the idea of being able to pour anything in and it running...

Sounds like you need a turbo jet turbine :p

Ah man I looked at making a turbine out of a turbo, just need to sort the injection situation /probably a shitload more to it.

Also using a waste oil burner to make steam to feed the same thing.

So many dumb options, I should just choose one and run with it.
