Check the flame sensor and clean it if it is sooty or contaminated.

Good luck and be careful!

  • john andrew manchook Dec 29, 2009

    Check the thermal overload sensor as well. If the unit is getting too hot due to restricted airflow or a dirty fuel nozzle your hi temp switch may be triggering. When the unit shuts off, ohm the sensor to see if it is tripped. You can cool the sensor by blowing on it or for testing purposes jumper the switch momentarily to see if it starts. If it does, your unit is either getting too hot or the switch is going bad.



    Some people claim their heaters work ok with the covers off...a sign that they arent getting enough air or their high limit sensors get less heat build up.



    Once again.....good luck and be careful.

Added gas to diesel multi fuel turbo heater
Your talking about 1/8 cup of gas, per gallon of diesel. I think it should be fine but it will run hotter than usual. You will need to keep an eye on the flame and after it warms up. If the flame continues to pass by the cone then you will need to drain between 1 to 2 gallons out and store it (You will need to use your best judgement). Fill the heater back up with new diesel and use. when you run out, add 1 gallon of the tainted diesel to 2 gallons of new diesel and repeat. You will need to pay attention to the performance and make your own determination. Please remember that these units are to be used in well ventilated areas. They produce a lot of carbon monoxide. Good luck., .

Sounds like there might be some water in the fuel?
Take a strong flashlight, and shine it into the tank-- does it look dirty?-- can you see water on the bottom? Try draining and cleaning the tank, and make sure the suction filter is clean-- and in tact.
And yo are using kerosene-- not diesel fuel, right?

Grade of fuel required for DESA heater
Dave you can use all three types that you have listed.

The pump is typically set for Number 2/ Diesel Fuel and if you run Kerosene the unit will run a little bit hotter but with a 3E359B you will typically run diesel due to the amount it will use and the increased cost of kerosene over diesel fuel.


Number 1 is similar to kerosene and is the fraction that boils off right after gasoline.
Number 2 is the diesel fuel that trucks and some cars run on, leading to the name "road diesel". It is the same thing as heating oil.

Ok well the glow plugs on a diesel have nothing to do with the engine firing. All the glow plugs do is heat up the combusion chamber on cold starts. Diesel engines fire using high compression. An oxygen sensor won't cause the vehicle to not start and your diesel doesn't have one of those anyways. It could be a fuel related issue. (pump, line, pressure etc.) Have you it scanned for engine DTC's? But based on your knowledge of your diesel vehicle i'm going to suggest you take it to a shop.
