I have a crummy old kerosene heater out there that's basically a glorified candle. Would the wick be able to handle the oil alright?

The waste-oil heaters being discussed here have a separate combustion chamber or flu pipe. Mixing waste oil with unvented kerosene heaters that simply use a wick to heat air in the room is a
very bad idea. Every contaminate in the oil, from metals to arsenic, is going to be put into the air you are breathing.
The only thing that is even remotely safe to use in those heaters is K-1 kerosene.
