woodro77 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 i use a kerosene space heater (bullit heater ) in my garage 16 + 34 , and it heats the hell out of it , it was like 6 degrees here yesterday and i turn the heater on for 10-15 minutes and i was working in my shop in a t shirt. the key to heating a garage is insulation , if its not insulated it will never stay warm you have to keep the heater running and wasting fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPEN Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 thanks i definaty dont want it to smell They really arn't that bad.. The job Iam currently working on has 5-6 multi-fuel heaters.. They burn two different types of jet fuel, #1 or #2 desiel, or kerosene.. Had two of them going in a garage the other day where they are trying to thaw the ground. We were getting some fumes but not as bad as one would think.. One was 155,000 and the other 165,000 BTU. The Multi fuel units are pretty damn cool, nice not having to drag around a propane tank but they do(like some propane) require power.

RIPPEN thats what i got , a multi fuel , i was wondering about the jet fuel , where do i get it and how much is it ? does it burn cleaner then kero ? anybody know ?

blaster668 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Never used jet fuel in the heater. I belong to a vol fire co and sometimes we get jet fuel from the local airport for free for starting training fires. If there is even any reason at all to believe that it is contaminated they dispose of it. Like even if a sealed barrel gets dirty or wet.
