What size heater should I choose for my workshop?

—The size of the heater depends on the volume of your workshop. You can calculate the required heating capacity using the formula: volume of workshop (in cubic meters) x heating power per cubic meter. It is recommended to choose a heater with a slightly higher capacity to ensure effective heating.

Is a diesel heater safe to use?

—Yes, diesel heaters are safe to use as long as they are installed and maintained properly. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines. It is also recommended to install a carbon monoxide detector in your workshop for added safety.

Can I use a diesel heater in an enclosed space?

How often do I need to refill the diesel fuel?

—The frequency of refilling the diesel fuel depends on the size of the fuel tank and the heater's fuel consumption rate. Most diesel heaters have a fuel tank capacity that can last for several hours or even days. Regularly check the fuel level and refill as needed.

Can I use the diesel heater for other purposes?

—The diesel heater is specifically designed for heating purposes and should not be used for any other applications, such as cooking or drying. Using the heater for unintended purposes may result in safety hazards and damage to the unit.
