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.
@@dontknowbrian Here in Pa. also ! 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 + BTUs ...getting propane tank filled , approx $30ish dollars !
I tried red dye kerosene in mine. Clogged the wick. I cleaned it out, replaced the wick. Works great now with normal kerosene. Dont use the red kerosene
I got a Sendoku, does anyone know if that COMES WITH A WICK ALREADY IN IT? I just received it today. Thank you for your video. I'll subscribe. I love how you taught us how to clean them. Very good information.
I have a DH 2 304S model used it once last year brand new going to use it today and it smokes. A lot of black smoke and suck what’s wrong can you help?
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.
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.
Holy cow guy. Red doent mean it has to be diesel. They dye kerosene the same way they do for diesel for tax reasons! Haha. You do come up in the searched for these devices. And being its a public media you should at leastknow what you are talking about. I mean this isnt political rhetoric
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.
