Mr. Heater Contractor Repair & Adjustment | Torpedo Heater Fuel Line Replacement 

Yup, exact same thing I need to do. Looked at my fuel lines a bit earlier...cracked and disintegrating. Filters need a good cleaning but pretty confident I'll get it running again. Thanks for sharing, this video was a big help!

Thanks man...Living in The great white north Timmins Ontario Canada it is essential I have this thing running...it gets as cold as -50 here ...so when my house is run on boiler heat...wouldnt take long for my pipes to burst...hence the need for this 7500 btu heater...but it kacked out on me last winter and I have just been put off fixing it. So now I will replace the fuel lines;)

Hey just wanted to say thank you. Ur vid really helped me adjust and tune my pressure and air mix to the perfect setting. I even got an extra hour outta a full tank of fuel. I run kerosene.

I agree with the filters they clog up densely and they're pretty fine material. Changing out the Internal fan with the graphite type vanes makes a huge difference as far as adjustment and air pressure. 👍🏼

Thanks for your help , i new the rats where selling us the same machine with different label and a minor adjustmant or part needs changed for a 500 dollar difference in price . I will now buy all 50,000 btu heaters , turn the screw and ramp it up to 150,000 btu

I just had a similar problem yesterday. I figured it was the fuel line, but I didn't have a chance to look into it yet. Thanks! Great video.

Living in the Midwest, these heaters are essential 😂 Replaced both air filters and fuel filter on mine today, but definitely have to replace the lines, I’m not even sure how it ran for as long as it did with the condition of both lines lol. But I also think I need to adjust the air screw. Thank you for this video!! Very helpful!!

Had to pause, but found it! His name must be Waldo. Good clip

I like that you didn't cut out the part where you missed the plug. It was an honest how and what the rest of us actually go through. It's odd how most of the other videos are always perfect troubleshooting fixes.. I've got a question for you, my nose cone disintegrated or something. The cone portion is still all there with all 4 mounting legs. But I just pulled a donut shaped piece of metal out from behind it that was loose. It is all warped and melted looking. It appears that it was attached to the nose cone at all four of the tabs originally. I cant find any reference to it though. It certainly didn't fall in there lol.

Very helpful. I have the 50k BTU version and haven’t used it for years. My fuel and air lines were all cracked.

Had a heater like yours. The wife didn't like it because of the smell in the garage. Got a leak in the gas tank so I ended up getting rid of it and bought a propane heater. Happy life happy wife! I do like the less smell also though. Keep the good videos going. Putting the sleds away this weekend. Exhaust valve cleaning. Not looking forward too that. Lol. It was a good season.

Great video. I have the exact same heater and nothing but headaches.

That looks about right. The recommended pressure is not always the right one anyway. I run mine on a higher pressure for diesel and get no smoke or smell what so ever. I have a bit of flame on the outside of the cone and it heats well. keep your filters clean and they'll run forever.

These heaters have very specific pressures they are supposed to run at. For instance, my master mh75tkfa is supposed to run at 4.2psi. Running them just a little off will give you inconsistent performance.

Good call on the fuel line mine where hammered good video

It probably doesn’t seem like it but this was a pretty entertaining video

nice tutorial thanks for sharing

What's a good way to clean out sediment from the fuel tank?

The video was very informative and was real-life with all the problems that popped up. You're fairly entertaining. Have you ever thought of going into comedy using mechanic situations? Hilarious, and you should really consider the comedy routine! 😅

They are a key part of living in the north country. pipes freeze and you gotta thaw them out somehow. My grandfather had a kerosene one that had trouble so I ended up buying a propane one when I was in the market

Progress. I'd agree with Killer Camper. I've got an oil furnace and replacing the nozzle is a routine maintenance thing.

I have a 125,000 Mr Heater Contractor grade .. I have to clean the air pump every year .. I also have an 80,000 , both came with an installed gauge and should be adjusted to manufactures specs ..

I have a 60,000 BTU blower heater like that, but runs off propane. I usually run it at 2/3 on the dial for about 15 mins and makes the garage nice and toasty...can work on the sleds in a t-shirt. They are loud though...kinda sounds like a jet.

Sweet tutorial 🤘🤘 I have a 150k BTU blower it heats the double car garage in about 20 min, walk out sweating with red eyes lol ride safe🤘🏍👍

Could I use this in my 3 car garage / man cave fully insulated about 620sq feet with 8 ceiling height. I ah e a pool table in there and a gym

Can you tell was initial adjustments are

I think you should change that k75 nozzle too. I've worked on diesel boilers doing maintenance and we changed the nozzles and aligned the spark ignitor that is next to the nozzle

Hey swanky, have you got any snow yet? I definitely have. Later in he year if you get more snow, you should buy a 1966 atricat panther. Ya’ know the sweet ol’ single Cylinder.

Hey. Got a question , would you know why my heater red light doesnt turn on to start heater?

The purpose of the pressure gauge is to read it and adjust your pressure screw to factory specifications. Them specs are normally on a sticker ON the unit. Spray soapy water on ALL your air fittings to make sure you are ACCURATELY reading & adjusting. Teflon tape helps seal threads on fittings.

You need to adjust the air screw, so there is NO visible flame. It's the same concept applied to an oxygen/acetylene neutral flame. Also reduces fuel consumption. 😊

Had the same issue. I just cleaned the nozzle and bam.

I have a 150000 BTU version of that heater. Mine also shuts down prematurely (about 15-20 minutes after start up). The red LEDwill start flashing. From what I have learned is that the motor has a thermal protect circuit that keeps the motor from getting to hot.( not from the fuel but just because the motor is working to hard.) I have yet to find a solution for this shut down problem. If you or anyone else has some ideas they are welcomed.

I bought one of these and I thought it was defective because of how loud it whines... Got a replacement and sounds the same, way louder than the Dynaglo I had before. Is yours that loud? It's like an electric whine that isn't the sound of the blower.

Dumb question... I noticed my eyes kinda start bothering me almost like cutting onions. It did smell too much so I put on my filtered mask on but it started being annoying so I left my garage and went inside. Is it bad/kerosene? Are there filters or ignition parts I should clean or replace?

Houston we have ignition!

Hopefully that fixes mine. Fixed a broken Fuel line, did a little carbon removal. Shooting Fuel and has blue spark but not fire. Any help out there?

Old video. But I have a problem with mine. Have flame out of it all the time, and it looks and sounds like if u give gas on a car and let of and give gas again. (On/off/) it’s never stops. Tried to adjust it like you did to get rid of the flame. But nothing happend. Screw it both ways, and no difference at all. Any ideas?

Haha the fuel line being cracked is exactly what happened to mine

How about the thermostat

contaminants in the fuel tank .

Clean flame sensor

Mine runs fine for about 10 minutes an turns off for some reason

Nop

When that thing takes a shit for good get a propane torpedo heater! No smell, and no refilling until bottle is empty! I swapped out a few years ago n much better! I got a 100# bottle n heats my garage which is 22 by 48 feet n last a winter n half on average. No tip cleaning and pretty much maintenance free! And if you do swap, get the bigger one! Lol

Mine won’t light

If you were nicer to Honey Badger she would come and keep you warm 😱🤣

Ya , well I need a new ignitor coil and are no longer in stock by the Pinnacle company. Remington brand Kerosene heater. Companies come and go. Left in the cold. Literally.

The hundred twenty volt receptacle by your door in the garage is too low barcode it needs to be up like four feet so if you have a fuel leak you don't draw a spark down low where the fumes are

Catman all kidding aside I am not a fan of open flame heaters in a garage with vehicles that have gasoline, when I want to work in my garage I run 2 of those oil filled electric radiators and put a fan blowing across one of them for an hour before, even on 20 degree days it will get the garage up to 70 degrees no problem

These heaters seem to only run great for about a year and then it’s constant adjustments to keep them working
