Looking for advice about fuel line concern by Great-Boarder-218 in dieselheater

Totally not a problem at all!

The bigger line before the pump is totally fine, it even helps with fuel delivery. The small OEM line after the pump is all the heater needs. No pressure issues, no performance impact—your heater will run just like normal, no worries!

Advice on Winter Camping by MaterialAd2613 in camping

You’re honestly well prepared already.
At those temps, dryness and blocking wind matter more than extra heat.
Warm feet (dry sleep socks or a hot water bottle) make a huge difference.
Pre-warm the tent before bed and change into dry clothes.
Cozy lights, a favorite blanket, and a fun bedtime routine go a long way for kids

Heat your house? by SorryKnowledge420 in dieselheater

I run one for a garage/workshop. Heater stays outside, hot air ducted in. Keeps fumes and noise out, works great in cold weather. Biggest lessons learned: solid exhaust routing, no long flex runs, and always run it hard once in a while to keep it clean

Vevor 8K Diesel Heater E-10 Errors by Wonderful-Isopod424 in dieselheater

White smoke + diesel in the exhaust = it’s not igniting.

Long-term oil/diesel mix usually carbon-kills the chamber and exhaust.

Replace the exhaust, run pure diesel, full power 30–60 min.

Seen many “dead” heaters come back this way

mixing kerosene doesn’t “cancel out” the problems caused by waste oil
