I got one of these at a yard sale for $5. Ive been using it to test home made fuels, bio-diesel, pyrolosis fuels, cleaned used motor oils. My first distillation of pyro oil got me something between kerosene and gasoline and while it wasnt as volatile as gasoline it was enough to bow that front flame cover out quite a bit😬. It was a Novel approach to a fuel air bomb 😮
The flame sensor uses the exact same photoreceptor as the day/night lights. Just a different size. The new one I got actually had a small one in the housing.
@@kelseyweber8280 Just a little alcohol on a Q-tip will clean the photo cell. If it ever goes out and you don't have time to get a new one, all you have to do is cut the wires and attach them together and it will work temporarily until you can install a new one.
costs too much to run these on kerosene or diesel, like $6.5 /gl in CA. The newer ones are great. you can order most all parts for the outdated Reddy heaters and the like. my latest problem is when I place the top cover on its stars to die out. I took it to the junker and bought a really nice one with bells and whistles.

Great video. Thank you
But we aren't igniting
Sometimes those photo sells will just get Dusty and all you have to do is wipe them off of the Q-tip and a little bit of alcohol
Thanks was wondering about that gunna check mine in a few mins

why not try using some brakleen on it. clean the eye up.
