    They do have pink kerosene. They dye it because where I live they don't tax it for home heating and for use in off-road vehicles. So that could be pink dyed kero you have in that heater and it stinks when used in wick type heaters. I have very few places to get clear kero here and it's expensive. Just to let you know.

      Local Sunoco changed over from another
      Oil Co last season & they sold the red dyed stuff ...It was definitely NOT diesel & it burned as well as the clear stuff the former
      station sold. Very hard to find KERO @ the pump ⛽ this season ...finally did a month ago ...the other day it went up from $4.25 to
      $ 6.99 in one shot ! Still , propane is 3-4Xs more than the $7 price ! ! For equivalent burn time / BTU output ....1 gal in KERO heater can last 12 hrs + @ 20,000 BTUs
      20lb tank of propane 14 hrs @ 20,000 +

      Red-dyed kerosene here in PA. Burns the same as clear. Some say it stinks. But I find the red-dyed kerosene has less fumes.

    Red dye is also put in Kerosene to prevent use in meth making. I use it all the time in my heater.

    Nice - Thanks for the video. You may have been able to just empty the old fuel and dry burned the wick, scraped it, and it would have been ok.

    • @brucebeaver6929
      @brucebeaver6929 9 месяцев назад

      after each season you need to do a "dry burn" which means that you empty almost all the Kerosene out and put it outside and let the heater burn until it goes out. It self cleans all of the build up out of the wick. Then you should be good.

    Greetings. Tnx for your vids. Can you help me diagnose why my heater will not fire. The tank needs to be full full. Ifit is 3/4 full, the top half of the wick is bone dry. The bottom is soak in kerosene. But the top of the wick is dry. Any ideas? Please help

      I can only speculate. It sounds like the wick is not dropping all the way to the bottom of the tank.

      Yes, I believe only have 2 wing nuts on it, twisted the mechanism enough to bind up the release.

  • @colofsco1
    @colofsco1 11 месяцев назад

    Missed a massive step putting the wick back on. It has to be put on as if the wick is turned up to the maximum. Otherwise when you press the release button the wick does not go down.

    The clear kerosene is referred as
    K1 KEROSENE
    K2 Being the red dyed kerosene.
    There are probably less than a dozen gas stations in the United States that sell K1 at the pump.
    For a single gallon of (no sulfur)
    K1 kerosene in a metal jug at Lowe's is $35 per gallon
    Home depot is $3 less per gallon.

      I purchased/pumped 1-K grade water-clear Kerosone at both Sheetz and Rutter's this season. I know a Sunoco in my area that sells it too. Maybe it's a regional thing.

    Very aggravating video!!! Lots of extraneous talking ... worst of all ... I had the same 'problem' you had near the end ... with the wick sticking UP .. and not properly retacting when the tilt system is triggered. HOWEVER ... you utterly failed to explain what you did to solve the issue!!! You appeared to simply "skip it" .. and went on. Now I have no idea how to remedy that.

      I was able to learn from them video. Maybe you're just frustrated and you've tried but can't get it done? Take a break. I get the same way. I hate trial and error projects. I want a straight shot fix that I can fully understand. Human nature. Chill and go back to it later. I can so relate. I hope you got it. Browse around on youtube and find a person you can follow easily. We all learn differently. You'll get it.
