That doesn't appear to be 1-K grade water-clear kerosene! If that's some diesel or home heating fuel/oil mix, I would expect problems with flame level, smell and possibly dangerous fumes, and premature wick failure.
Thank you for your input and concern! All kerosene fuel sold here is of blue color. The kerosene container in the video is sold by Kerosun company itself for the sole use in its heaters. We have used more than 200 liters (about 53 gallons) before the wick started having problems... As mentioned in the manual premature wick failure can be caused if you leave the heater to run out of fuel every time. (although doing that periodically can clean carbon deposits from the wick).
@@varnasfix ...interesting! I've never encountered blue-dyed kerosene, only red-dyed, and not for quite some time. Thankfully, several fuel stations near me sell 1-K grade, water-clear Kerosene.
Good video,thanks
Thank you too!
Thak you for the video!!!
thanks for watching!
6 hour soak of the new wick before using?
I think the manual states 1 hour but just to be on the safe side as running the wick dry will damage it..
@@varnasfix - Sounds good! Yeah for sure at least an hour.
Does this wick changing method that you just did work for all brands?
I am not familiar with other brand heaters... But if they use the same mechanism it should be similar to replace..
