      In uk as far as I know bud it's black for diesel green for petrol. Red for mixed petrol. And ye blue for kerosene. Tgo not all pumps are the same but we just read what the pump is first lol. Also a diesel and petrol pump nozzles arnt the same so to aid the vehicle not to fit the nozzle properly.

      @fuck face any form of liquid will act as lubricant, by the way if you look at the cracking table you will find petrol is just 2 up from diesel, you may get scoring assuming there were metal to metal contact but once the pump is primed the piston is surrounded by the petrol, by the way I was just service my lpg autogas solinoids and these have no form of lubrication since lpg is a gas without any form of lubrication, the pistons are metal to metal contact (no ptfe coating), it the first time I've service them for 10 years and there were no scoring whatsoeven

    David, I run my heater on red diesel with E5 super unleaded mixture. 0.5 ltrs to 6 ltrs of diesel. I find I get a cleaner burn, ignights faster, less smoke when starting up.

    • @oliver90owner
      @oliver90owner 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      One of the historical recipes for TVO (Tractor Vapourising Oil) was 3 1/2 kerosene : 1 Petrol : 1/2 diesel. Kero/diesel was not so easy to ignite (with a spark), the diesel was for a little lubrication and the petrol was to ensure easy ignition.
      My view is use the cheapest energy source available that will do the job - trying to get the tax refunded on any petrol purchased is not easy!.
      You have slightly weakened the burn by adding petrol(lower energy value), so could possibly slow the fan speed slightly without making carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases

    I just happened to chance across your channel. Seems you're looking for a removable cap for the end of your burn chamber. How about a deep engine block freeze plug that caps(like a lid on a jar) over the end of your chamber with 3 stainless steel screws going through the side of the plug into the chamber wall. BTW im burning 10-15 % gasoline mixed with my diesel in hopes of not having to clean my chamber. So far so good.

    You need to use a constant speed flow pump for petrol (using some sort of controller that converts the pulses into speed so faster the pulse faster the speed) alternatively use something that has small nozzle like a injector and some sort of expansion vessel that allows it to to make pressure as the pump goes faster it make more pressure and it spray faster (got to make sure all fittings are high pressure or you have some PSI of petrol shooting out when pipe pops off)

  • @loweredexpectations4927
    @loweredexpectations4927 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great experiment!
    Maybe you have already tried it, but I was thinking that if you installed one (or several) of those fuel dampers so that the fuel seeps in instead of pulsing in that may help also.
    I would also be interested to see that test and then crank the fan speed way up and run it lean. I have been playing with petrol in my heater (and waste oil mixes) and I suspect that the one reason why it pulses is that the pressure of the fuel igniting overcomes the pressure of the fan, no more air can get in so the flame goes out. It starts burning again when it gets more air. Quite clearly, at lower speeds it is pulsing with the fuel being injected (diesel does the same thing at startup) but the very high frequency at higher settings, I believe, is because the heater starts to run like a pulse jet engine.
    It certainly sounds like a pulse jet engine, and if you place a rag, or your hand by the inlet, you can feel / see the pressure waves.

    I know you did about a year ago and it’s still hard to find one of these that runs on Petrol, with exception of Webasto and Eberspacher. I recently found one with the options of either diesel or petrol. Thought it was worth a try. It eventually arrived and, as I expected, was labelled a Diesel which was backed by the instructions which only referred to a diesel unit. Anyway, I decided to try try it on Petrol and it works brilliantly. I haven’t opened the chamber yet to see if there have been any modifications, but externally, even with the top casing off, it’s identical to a diesel. I’m not overly familiar with this type of heater so I’m reluctant to delve too deep. Could it just be a matter of getting the right settings?

When I get a minute I’ll try to get into the setting and note what they are for a comparison to the diesel. It would be a great result if it was as simple as that??

      Propane is too volatile for this type of burner, in actuality a constant flame is not what you want. It works on the same principle as a kerosene heater or lamp, a specific type of material (catalytic) is heated to a certain temperature and fuel keeps that said material burning red hot without the need of a flame. The glow plug only ignites and starts the cycle until that material is hot enough to maintain a constant combustion on its own without help ,then the plug powers down.

      Gas(petrol) has less energy than diesel so you actually need more of it for a given amount of heat output. I think its somewhere in the 10% Less range based on mass. Its flame front moves much faster than diesel this is probably why the cap works well. I would try to reduce restriction of the cap and maybe use more mass to hold heat. Maybe a chunk of iron that covers the middle of the burn chamber.

      Me, because some of the units are being sold as suitable for burning diesel or gasoline. So I wanted to see if it would actually work.

      You’re right. It was a bad idea to post opinion without backing up your statement with a reason.

    We dont give a shit about the specs and temps and sounds. We wanna know wtf you did to get it to run on gasoline

      Just put in gasoline? It is really that easy.. Even tried it myself but i guess the pump wont last long cuz of the gasoline not lubricating it

      These pumps were designed for petrol in the first place. You’re just repeating an old wives tale.
