Every season I have to put the dial on pilot and hold the button down for several minutes then your pilot light will come on

Changed out my tank, dang thing started fluttering wouldn't get started on high 3 heat. A previous poster said shut the tank off, and restart the process. It works great now. Turned 20lb tank on slowly, pushed pilot light button down for 30sec. Maybe it had a air bubble in it? Works great Now! Thank you to the poster for the info. Do the easiest steps 1st! GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP 🇺🇸 #47 as he gets Inaugurated today!

According to Mr. Heater, the problem with the residue is the type of material used for the hose. Mr. Heater makes a hose they say does not give off that residue and dosn't need a filter.

Condensation is the main reason why the tanks get contaminated over time. Also, the adapter hose can get pressure locked due to the check valves in the fittings.

Yea, thats what I buy a heater for....to get propane all over me and tear into this crap . Mr Heater...you suck.

Good video. 👍

Not sure if blowing high pressure air into a regulator is a good idea.

I have used a Big Buddy heater with a Mr. Heater hose with a quick connect fitting and a 20lb bottle in my living room for like the last 15 years with no problem. Had problem lighting it last season, and thanks to a TH-camr, I took a long Q-tip, took most of the cotton off, dipped it in some Ever Clear (100% alcohol) and cleaned the port where gas comes out. Worked fine after that. Using the heater on medium keeps the living room & dining room warm enough that my oil burner doesn't go off so much, even with temps around 30 degrees out.

I would run the buddy filter even on the hose they claim doesn't give off goop. From what I've read, it's the hose, not the propane.

So you are saying if I am just starting out, go ahead and buy the MyPlasm CNC System with THC built in. Only thing I see is it uses USB vs Ethernet. Also did you get a new plasma cutter? I am going to build a rack and pinion Plasma CNC machine.

I have used buddy and big buddy heaters with a 4ft hose and a filter for over 15 years and i have never had to fix either of my heaters.

I Just ran a 20 lb tank with the Enerco genuine hoses and filter, it STILL clogged up my supply lines. No more hoses and filters, I am using the refillable 1lb cylinders from FlameKing. I have had the hoses and filters for a long time and never used them, so decided to use them during a cold snap this year, HUGE MISTAKE, just use refillable bottles I have been using those for years on my 3 buddy heaters with no problem and as soon as I start using the hoses, BOOM, clogged! Plus, the refillable 1lb bottles make the devices easier to move around as needed and no risk of a hose getting severed and spewing out propane, creating an explosion risk.

The biggest junk propane heater ever made

Its the cheap Chinese bullshit hose. And there's no filter inside the 13 dollar filter. Had to take mine apart and clean the black crap out of mine.

Need oil free hose .

Nice setup can you give the outside dimensions of you main frame . Box tubing.

Propane is very clean as it is delivered to appliances in a vapor form. Not liquid. It's not the propane causing this issue. It's the hose. Buy a hose not made out of rubber or use a filter.

I bought a Mr. Buddy heater with hose and filter. It ran great. I tried it this year and had a lot of problems. I blew everything out and put on a new filter. Now it seems to be working ok. I would say , change the filter every year before operating.

Don't buy the Dewalt version because it's a piece of crap.

Hey I’m wondering about buying this kit for my m5-111 and it’s having constant regen. How’s the tractor been holding up since you’ve put the kit in? Any problems?

I do believe that I have the same problem with a Mr.Heater. The unit does not have any flame at all. I opened a new 20 pounder by removing a blue safety cap and connected the regulator to the tank. THE unit did not even show a flame at all. NO FLOW. When I removed the hose regulator connector from the tank I heard a pulse of pressure. SO I do believe the gas is not getting to the orifice where the flame should be burning blue. I will try to clean out the line and see what I can get. Buying used stuff does have its drawbacks. Peace vf Happy New Year OBR. Nice video too Sir. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

I’m glad I didn’t buy any new batteries yet

I just recently took my dpf out and pressure washed it and its been working perfectly ever since. But theres always the worry that these parts rust and not working some day so i can understand deleting them. Ive thought about getting this kit but ive also heard that you can just drill holes in the dpf and everything still works. IDK Im not brave enough to try it but I geuss if you did drill it out and things went bad you could buy this kit. Any thoughts?

unless you use the mr heater 10' hose, you need a filter or the oil from the other mr heater hoses will deposit oil in it and eventually it wont even fire

That goo is from the inside of the hose touching the LP gas

I used a 3/8 t-handle oil plug ratchet wrench from O'Reilly's. Great video, just figured I'd share in case anyone was having issues.

Funny Observation: Mr Heater warns NOT to have an external tank in the same room as the heater lest the tank leak & kill everyone in the room AND/OR the heater light off the gas with its burner & burn everyone to death. Gotcha. HOWEVER, My little buddy heater has a pocket in the side to put a 1lb bottle just INCHES from the flame. What? 1lb bottles never leak? I think not. !

Hate these heaters. They never work when I need them. Going to try one of those Amazon jobs that just hook right up to the tank. No hoses or any of that BS.

My 690 was pretty new, but over winter crankcase filled up with two gallons of gas, didn't figure it out because couldn't really see the clear gas when checked oil dipstick, anyways, after trying to start it a while, then noticing that, I had blown a ton of black oil into exhaust, shooting/dripping out, smoking. Changed oil, gas, plugs, gas filter, carb, couldn't ever get it to run again, almost, but..... compression test I just did shows 130 psi right side (dipstick side), and 75 psi left side. So I think that's what your motor is like, the same side as mine is the low compression side. I don't know if I can figure to tear down and rebuild or save for new engine, or call a shop for a quote for ring job. Oh ya, when I poured a couple tablespoons of oil in spark plug hole and tried compression test, it went from 75 to 125 psi, that's why I think it's the rings. Haven't removed valve cover or anything. Thanks for vid, nice garage/shop!

I just use their recommended "oil-free" hose & 2 winters it's worked every time, every day hooked to a 20# tank. I use the BIG Buddy with 2 ceramic heating elements. 18,000 btu on the high setting.

Thanks for the detail. I have a 45 horse LS with error codes leading to the DPF garbage. What is interesting is all the fuel it takes to perform a regen and all the smoke and trash that comes out of the exhaust. How is that "environmentally friendly" (Idiots!). Another money grab from big industry to pacify the environmentalist groups.

G'Day, You've just given me a great starting point as I had the same question: can you use other devices using the My Plasm electronics, greta job!

Used the filter and it still kept going out!

Flush those lines out with some brake cleaner or alcohol or something other than air. My heater was absolutely full of oil

That's called a manual reset.

For future use away have your MRI buddy heater 1 foot above the tank , but it's oil residue.

I dont know if im seeing this right or not, but is there a regulator on that big tank line?

The more flexible the hose, the more oil it contains. The oil leeches out when the hose is pressurized.

i have issues even with the filter-

When im done using my buddy's i put them back in a plastic bag while storing them away, haven't had any issues! I also have other sources of heat production incase the power goes out! Prep like your life depends on it! Wemight be in for a wild winter!!!!

YES ... IM ON MY 2ND BUDDY. READY FOR A THIRD. I HAVE TO BLOW MINE OUT EVERY COUPLE RELIGHTS. JUST KEEP GOING OUT. WITH THE GOOD BLUE FLAME, i only used it on the 4.4gallons tanks. if it dont work i use a brass brush clean the whole area, then blow it out with a small air compressor blower. and it works. i seen someone pulled the hose off red button depressed and blow it out backwards. have not tried that yet. im not mobile so it difficult for me to get that far into it. (Knee replacement)

Ive heard its oil / substance in the LONGER lines.

So did you run it and leave it overnight or run it and leave it over the summer???? Which was it???

Vato thank you good INTEL

Over the last 2 years I've run over 2 dozen 20# tanks through my Mr Buddy, and tonight it started acting up and finally required a cleanout of the lines. I do use the inline filter. Might be time to replace that too.

Wow what a job. Keep up the great work. I've been running plastic on one of my shed builds, instead of walls.

I hear that if you use a big tank with a hose, you need to use a filter between the heater and the hose.

Absolutely no reason this device should cost $2,000. Should cost no more than $300. It's pretty simple.

What happened to the new plasma table build

I’m completely for leaving a better world for my grandchildren but some of this stuff is unnecessarily inconvenient for the small number of people who don’t use these engines professionally. I average 50 hours a year on my tractor and believe that there should be an exemption for this amount of use. Currently I have a pre-emission year tractor and one that was deleted before I purchased it. I have more guilt about my gas powered lawn tractor, log splitter and chainsaws.
