Great video. Yes kerosene is great and £1.08 ltr. In lothians at moment and about to go down according to my supplier such a clean burn. Get a new ultra quiet pump and use some fuel sealent on the threads as mine leaked on arrival but it is so quiet compared to the bog standard pumps, and they will get even quieter as they run in! About £16 + and £25 ish with built in filter. also the new off set port muffler with the stove enamel sides, they are the best i have seen at quietening exhuast noise with this set up I am heater ground floor of my house. Now I only use central heating for about an hour first thing in mornings then the diesel heater dose the rest of the day, Toasty warm! and cheaper than present gas prices.
The worst design choice for these diesel heaters is having the flimsy fuel line right next to the exhaust out, when i first saw this i thought wtf? lol
Yeah Dave, it ain't good mate. The sooner I get the good line on it, the happier I'll be. It's always the same with Chinese products, it's up to us to make them safe to operate. When I do videos like this, it almost ends up as a public safety videos, and it shouldn't be like this.
Thanks for the video, some excellent tips for heating a workshop. Sure I'll be using your knowledge in future projects myself. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much. Workshop is now toasty and warm.

Great info Chris. I've done a few tests with the heater in the house and it's definitely viable.
Thanks for the video, it wouldn't hurt to put some exhaust wrap on this, the exhaust does get extremely hot ,it will help safe your new fuel lines
Great suggestion David, I will certainly do that.
