I think the Japanese are very smart people to use kerosene heaters. They are very good for an emergency situation. In Calgary everybody is dependent on gas and ATCO makes us pay through the nose. I can also see that Operation Blessing distributed them when the tornadoes struck in Tennesee.
you now can buy low odour Kerosene over here in Australia as i have one of the old Sanyo Kerosene Heaters that have no fan built in, and when i use it outdoors for keeping warm during a bbq i get no smell from it
there is no need to worry overmuch about carbon monoxide with these modern heaters. they sense when the air quality gets low and beep to let you know, and if you do nothing they switch themselves off. i used these during the `12 years i lived in japan, and never got as much as a headache using them. in the usa people seem to be rather paranoid about kerosene heaters indoors --often the same people who think nothing about spraying the shit out of their houses with cancer-causing chemicals.
@justanotherjet I am using one of the radiant types. I have gotten where I like it. I have it fairly near the door and open the door a little when I 1st light it and it warms up. Then I close the door. I pick it up and take it outside to turn it off since I can't stand the smell when it shuts down. Otherwise there's very little smell. I have a CO detector. There is almost no CO reading. I only run the heater for about an hour.
There are Kerosene heaters that do not need power. There are ones that you can light with a bbq lighter or with a pair of D-cell batteries that uses a coil to ignite the Kerosene as well.
Can you put regular home heating Kerosene into these as I have one and there's a sticker on it saying that you can only put ROFL (Reduced Odour Liquid Fuel) into them, which is way more expensive than regular (more pungent) kerosene. Any help would be great.
We have a brand of odorless fuel here in the USA and it's extremely expensive too. The heater will run just fine on pump kerosene, provided it's fresh and doesn't have water or dirt in it. It also, ironically, doesn't smell all that much worse. You do have to make sure what you're buying is actually intended for burning in portable kerosene heaters, as fuel sold as "home heating oil" (for burning in a furnace with a flue) can sometime be a mixture of kerosene and diesel.
Run diesel 2 instead of K1 kerosene. It's cheaper, and if you add 3 oz of 91% isopropyl alcohol to every gallon it will burn cleaner. Yes it's safe, and it burns longer. No smell
What's the point of having a kerosene heater if you anyway have to open a window or an exhaust fan which sucks all the hot air out :l Anyway, how long can it run with the tank full?
You can run kerosene heaters at night, even though they tell you not to. Why is it any more dangerous at night than it is during the day? If I didn't run mine at night, I'd freeze to death. Just make sure there's nothing around it that's flammable, keep a window cracked, and as long as you have a CO detector and a smoke alarm... you're fine. And if you live in a drafty older house like me, you don't even need to crack a window.. my CO detector always sits at 0 ppm.
@MissVeronikaBlack Even so, unless you're buying the expensive prepackaged K-1, you don't always know what you're getting. If there's some gasoline mixed in (hey, those fuel truck drivers are only human) or the flash point is on the low side, you could end up with a fire that quickly leaves evacuating as your only option. Plus, the prepackaged stuff isn't always a sure thing - Klean Strip labels their 101F flash point paint thinner as heater fuel. No joke.
I really don't understand these units. They run on electricity and gas. You have ot open a door or window to ventilate the gas, which makes the room even colder. Doesn't Japan have an electric radiator unit for sale?
you have to open a door or a window a crack to let oxygen in. these units put out the same amount of off gases as running natural gas or propane. the problem though is kerosene uses a lot more oxygen to burn clean and can deplete a room of oxygen to below 19ppm. you're supposed to do the same thing if you're running a natural gas stove or oven for more than 3hrs. this is the reason they are required by law to install an air inlet pipe that brings air in from the outside for propane and natural gas heaters.

There is a similar model on eBay now at around 400 usd. Very interesting.
I have a problem in the corona greenhouse and E4-E0 give what solution, please
Will this work without electricity..I have a manual one for power outages..I'm thinking that this one is close to useless without power

please can you help me?my heater givs me F02 i dont what can i do
Where can I go to buy this particular model?
It's cold in the apartment so you light the heater. However you have to open a window and let the cold air in in order to heat the apartment. LOL!!!!

There's error code E4 in my heater FH-IX465BY and I don't have any idea about .
I can help you 0796656829 I have all information for this heater

15hours
Can these units be used with (uk) kerosene (home heating oil)
AKA paraffin? Yes.
Are you still using kerosene heater?
Why you Need Kerosin and Energy to Power this think ?

@gotanmp3 ... Because the manufacturers don't want the inevitable lawsuits.

They don't run on gas. Gas is a gas. Kerosene/paraffin is a liquid. They run on liquid (kerosene/paraffin). Hope this helps.
a simple inverter run off your car will run one of these in an emergency
I always thought that carbon dioxide is produced only incorrect burning would cause carbon monoxide
E1 explain
Japan has all that technology but they burn diesel indoors to keep warm.
Oh what is this
