yamaha04 Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Posted February 9, 2007 thanks guys for all your help i think im going to go with a kerosene heater of maybe a propane one if i can get it cheap enough. but kerosrnr seems to be the way to go Quote
woodro77 Posted February 9, 2007 Report 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
87sheerips Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Yea, Im getting a kerosene. Propane is getting out of the ass expensive especialy when u get drunk and leave it on high all night! HAHA yea, the gas station is chargin 22.00 for an exchange!! what a joke! :shoothead: Quote

yamaha04 Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Posted February 10, 2007 thanks i definaty dont want it to smell Quote
RIPPEN Posted February 10, 2007 Report 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 Quote

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 ? Quote
blaster668 Posted February 10, 2007 Report 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. Quote
