RPH I turn the t stat all the way up and it runs maybe 10 or 15 minutes and goes off, I have to unplug it for a minute to get it to try to start and then it will sputter/ flame flickers and then goes off/shuts down so you may be right about flooding. What is the fix for flooding? I put on a new...

3rdgendslmech It does that no matter how high you set the Tstat. RPH What is the usual fix if that is the problem? Steve........

I have a Reddy Heater 110BTU and when I plug it in and turn the T stat up it'll come on and work fine until it gets up to temp (where the T stat is set) maybe 15 minutes or so and cycle off. After 10 minutes or so it will come back on and run maybe 10 or 15 seconds and shut off and give off a...

I might try mixing Diesel fuel and Kerosene for economical reasons and see if the fumes aren't too bad in the shop but it sounds like it probably will have too much for the inside. Steve.........

I don't really have the wall space to put in a wall heater, and it would be too expensive to put in one of the suspended heaters. I can put up with the kerosene as it heats the shop up very quickly with the 125K BTUs. Steve.......

Might just leave it as is, smell would probably not be too good in my small 25 x 30 shop. Steve.......

Back when I was in the Air Force I remember the exhaust from jets that used JP4 smelled like they were burning Kerosene, I guess there was a good reason for that. Steve.........

I think I might try a half and half mixture to start with (no not the milk stuff) and see if it works ok. The only place to get kerosene is Wally World and a hardware store and both are pretty expensive. The only service station around here that carried it, quit as they said it was too far for...

I have a 125,000 btu Reddy Heater that burns Kerosene and it doesn't say anywhere on it that you can burn diesel in it. Is it ok to burn diesel in it or stick with kerosene? Steve..........

World of wonders I fixed it. One problem was I believe was dirty fuel, I drained and cleaned the tank. I had replaced several things on it such as a cracked rear cover, fuel lines and had jumped out the photo eye. Well, after seeing it in another post about the photo eye reading the color of the...

Each time it comes on it will burn the fuel it sprays it just shuts down after a few seconds. Could it be something in the pc board, I wouldn't think so but a lot of you guys have more experience with these things. I can handle the pressure being off, the eye not pointed in the right direction...

Jumped out the T Stat and it didn't help, still did it. I would usually have to unplug it so it would try to light again but a few times it would try to light every 10 seconds ( each time it would glow,fan comes on and spray fuel all at the same time) or so for about three times and then would...

I have an R110BT Reddy Heater that is giving me problems. To get it ready for the Winter I drained and cleaned the tank (kerosene) and put in new fuel and it won't stay running. I turn the T-Stat on and the HSI will start glowing and after a few seconds the fan and fuel will start. It lights for...
