    I don't know how to answer the question because it is one of those questions that answers itself eventually, and then the damage is done. The question should be where is the least expensive place to buy them. As far as which tank does or doesn't need a filter, that is also obvious and the pressure in both large and small tanks is the same depending on the temperature. The regulator is built into the Buddy Heater. PS: I have been running my Buddy Heater from October through most of May, 24/7 on 10 gallon tanks. I have not had a problem in 6 years. I do change my filters every year.

    I believe some people run into issues because when using a propane tank versus the 1 pound bottle, they forget to take the regulator off of the larger tank. The heater already has a regulator and using two regulators leads to over regulation. The filter shown in this video is actually screwing onto the regulator which is connected to the heater. This regulator cannot be removed. The 1 pound bottle is low pressure but the tanks are high-pressure. It’s that high-pressure that causes oils in some hoses to release and clog up the system. Mr. heater does sell a 10 foot hose that does not need a filter as it is made of different materials. Why they would sell any hose that would require a filter is very odd to me, but that’s what they do.

    I'm not sure this video is clear enough. Their 10-ft hose Model # F273704 states "Specially designed material eliminates need for a fuel filter" per their website. Also there are tons of youtube videos of people running these heaters for years without them. It's the longer hoses you need to be concerned about.

      @grandpadave8953 9 місяців тому

      When I bought the filter it stated on the package that it was recommended for use with a hose. It did not say unless using A B or C. I have since learned that if you use a hose from Mr. Heater a filter may be unnecessary. I'd say that Mr Heater was unclear. You are right though. Thanks for the comment

    After everyone started talking about the fine grip knot (FG) I decided to do some tests on several common knots for braid to leader connections. The Albright and it's advanced form the Crazy Alberto consistently broke below line strength within a centimeter of the knot. Less so with a double uni knot but when it broke it was usually inside the knot. Wetting didn't seem to make a big difference. The FG was definitely the best as the line always broke well away from the knot. Unfortunately a lot of people have difficulty tying it properly since it does require a little bit more dexterity and you need tension on the main line. That said in combination with a Bimini loop the Albright knot is very strong.

Had my car outside idling and ran my furnace, tv, and couple of lights for 16 hrs no problem. Way better than a noisy gas generator that needs fuel every couple of hours. I used less than 1/2 tank of gas idling overnight and into the next day. More efficient and quiet.

    Why is that when using my buddy heater that the filter gets hot while it's on and off. I turned the tank off and purged all gases out of the hose. Filter when back to room temperature. The connection at the propane tank is ice cold. And the hose is not swelling or any signs of leaks after using the soap suds method. After turning the heater on for about 2 minutes or more of runtime the filter is warm then after 4 - 5 minutes it's hot. The filter is brand new. Is that normal for the filter to get hot?
