Protemp Kerosene / Diesel Heater Review PT-70-SS - Part 1 

Very true. One would need to access the switch rather than just install a standard inline thermostat like people are accustomed to doing with a torpedo style heater.

mattmopar440 how do u do that. I can't get it any help. Please

Hasn't diesel been used as heating oil for years? Although the combustion products would normally been vented outside. I think the carcinogenic thing was related to the fine particulate matter which can find it's way deep into the lungs when used in combustion engines. It would be interesting to know the chemical differences between kerosene and diesel as they all come from the same place.

Diesel engines emit a large amount of particulate matter. Carbon is a carcinogen when in certain chemical shapes and you commonly eat it in fried foods without thinking about it. Breathing diesel fumes is also a common source that people are more concerned with even though it is a smaller factor than the foods we eat. Anyway, this combustion process is much different and much cleaner than that of a diesel engine and there is almost zero particulate emissions so the emissions are carcinogen free, nitrous oxide free, and surprisingly even carbon monoxide free. That said, on startup there is some particulate emission for the first few seconds before the flame chamber warms up. Nothing like a diesel engine though.

Hi ***** Okay,, really did not want knurlgnar24 to get hurt,, or you. But you have probably also heard that diesel cars are the reason for manny manny cases of lung cancer,,, and why all new diesel cars now has a particle filter. So that was my concern :-/

You're absolutely correct in what you say, opening the door lets the cold in and kinda defeats the purpose, that's why I let mine run with the garage door shut, whilst I'm in the lounge for an hour or two, watching RU-vid videos, and when I do go out, the shed's toasty and warm and, with the heater still running on 'full boar' I then leave the garage door open and start a working! Hope this helps?

What makes heater shut down after 30 mintues

I haven't had a chance to review the uploaded video in its entirety yet, but I just released it anyway. I hope there isn't something dumb in it that I missed! (my odds aren't very good are they?)

***** I dunno, some of us are really good at spotting every little thing...

First mistake is you used gasoline

Yes, that is true by regulation but generally not by practice. Since K1 ATSM spec can be met by simply using #1 diesel without the additive package they nearly always do that now, which means K1 is usually

No, I didn't actually...

Just trusting the sucker only draws 200 watts...

Peter Carlson I actually made a video on this based on your comment and it does draw around 200 watts as advertized. Coming soon...

it cant have one due to the design

Third! I think somethings wrong here.

you cant due to the design

@@DMAN22yeah I've just bought one of these heaters, it's a Korean made one, and it's got a thermostat on it put there by the manufacturer, but I never use it, I always use the heater on 'full noise'!
