I've filled mine with boiling water and used it to clean off thick grease on car parts - sort of inferior steam cleaner

Used one before to "hoover" oil/sludge out of a gearbox.
I rarely use it to spray anything as thin as paraffin though as prefer using a pressurised pot type. They don't atomise the liquid so much so it tends to go where you're pointing it rather than into the air.

Spraying oil (clean or used, which seems to last longer) onto cars/equipment to prevent rusting.
Spraying waxoil (or similar product) onto cars/equipment.
It really blasts it well and creates a fine mist as well which is probably terrible to breathe in but can really travel nicely along things such as chassis rails, nooks and crannies.
I've put diesel in and blasted the inside of old diesel sumps with sticky sludge inside which needs washing out.
Truly brilliant piece of equipment.

Can't be doing with moving house, got anything stronger than black powder? Also I'm not sure how to get it in place on a wasp nest that's attached from above with nothing underneath?
I'd like rid of the nest above my house door.

what sort of spray pattern /output would you get with old oil ? fine mist or does it lash out like a hose?

Fine mist, similar to that of a paint sprayer. Hold it 18 inches from something and watch it blacken. Just right for most jobs, and you can keep it still in a cavity to really blast it in.
The gun holds enough oil to do a decent job of the metal underneath a good sized car without refilling.

Of course I do.
But they will be dyeing off now, wait until the first frost. Then hit them with a can of raid, that will remove the ones left.
Remove the paper nest, either keep or bin.
Early next year, just as the Blue Bells are in flower, place a Moth ball were the nest was.

Well that may work but is awfully dull! I liked the idea of black powder but with a little extra poke and a way to fix it in place.
