Is this the same as military fuel can I have H-45 heater and it uses the scepter fuel cans. I heard the water can's can leak. please let me know if it is exactly the same as the fuel can. Thanks!!!

No. This is the military water can (MWC). The Scepter brand and equivalent military fuel cans (MFC) not only have a different handle, but the cap is different (to include different gaskets for different types of fuels). Although you could certainly put fuel in it, the MWC was not intended to hold fuel, and will likely leak.

I read a few websites that said you can use a natural smelling oil such as lavender...a single drop or 2 directly in the kerosene. I decided not to try it, because the heater is so good at keeping me warm...I feared it would mess that up in some way. Go to Miles Stairs website and check to see what he has to say about this...you can even email him directly that info is also on his site, he has all the information you will ever need about this kerosene heater...he also sells the "wicks" I have ordered mine from him.

I believe they are the exact same unit. I have the heat mate. It burns very clean and sips fuel. I did have one that had a fault in the burner that caused it to burn inefficiently and smell. I sent it back and the replacement was great. Overall a good unit that i use regularly

Yeah, I watched it.... Looks pretty simple to me. But if it fails, I'll just use the gas can for storage (no pouring,) then transfer gas into a useable pre-civil-lawsuit-government-intervention-gas-can. This entire pour-spout issue arose from a civil lawsuit involving people trying TO POUR GASOLINE (LITERALLY) ON A FIRE, from a gas can, THEN GETTING BURNED!!! .... Who would-a-thunk THAT???? .... BLITZ cans were the BEST, (made in OKLAHOMA!!!) ...... and I still have 2-of-them.... ahem....

I own this heater and have been very, very pleased with it. I recommend it highly. I can't find my instruction manual at this moment, but I do recall reading that it can only use kerosene. I am not 100% certain that is true, but okay....I'm 99% sure I read that when I got it. I noticed some reviews on other websites that said "Wish it could use farm diesel fuel," so that tends to make me think it will not, even without finding my user manual and reading it for myself. However, as I mentioned, this is a great heater. For my applications, it's the best thing I have found.

I am guessing this is a defect as not all users report this issue. I am one of the ones that did experience this problem though. I took my rotary tool with a grinding bit and wore down the pin that goes into the fuel canister. After lowering the pin slightly I no longer get any fuel spray.

I have a 72 Super Beetle, and a 66, 73 Sedan. As far as fuel .... they are all the same? I have bought two Spectra Premium Fuel Tanks. One for the '73 & one for a '74 Karmann Ghia. They are beautiful tanks. Very pleased with my purchases.

Not much help here. Never tried it, but shouldn't cause any problem that I can forsee if you have good connections and no fuel leaks. However, you may have a heart attack when you have to fill both tanks at once!

Yes, this works just like the original version of the stove, just in a lighter, smaller version. There are 3 jets that are easily swapped out in the field if required. One for isobutane canisters, one for naptha, and one for gasoline/diesel/kerosene etc.... The hose that connects to the red fuel canister in the picture, will also connect to isobutane canisters. Just have the jet installed for whatever fuel type you want to burn and your cooking with fire...as the saying goes. I've been using this stove for the last year and am very happy with it. The last stove you'll ever need to buy. Highly recommended. Convenience of canisters, and the flexibility to burn any fuel you can find. What's not to love??

not sure.. I think you have to purchase it with the right nozzles for propane or ng....Since I have propane I made sure it was described as "propane". Maybe you could contact the manufacturer directly? PS this is an excellent h/w heater. I'm very happy with it...

I am going to purchase this canner for my summer bounty. Lost so many quarts of tomatos this past summer to water bath canning so am going to try this. I have a glass top stove and am going to use my gas b-b-q outside that has a side burner on it. Has anyone else used this before and does it work ok??

Not that I am aware of. I did have a natural gas space heater that I converted to LP. I only had to change the jet. Couple of bucks is all. But I difinitely would go down to your local heating shop and ask. This is not a space heater but same principle. You will love this, just do not clean it with water like that YouTube video. You will be asking for rust. Just scrape it and save the flavor. Besides that is a lot of work for nothing.

If it was, as is the case with other 'EPA Certified', it would be hard to use and leak copiously. I have several of the Carb-Compliant cans all of which leak during use and transport. A full 5 gallon EPA Compliant can is very hard to manage... trying to activate the Carb-Compliant spout while holding 30+ pounds of fuel upside down is just not possible. Fuel ALWAYS spills around the fill port.Good job, EPA! Always trust a desk-bound bunch of bureaucrats to screw up a simple can!

like any port. kero. heater,it will run dirty due to poor fuel.stick with k-1 and it will run clean and quite.rember these heaters are for well ventilated areas.

I just started using gas station kerosene. the red dye in it is not good for the wick and it smells a lot more than the highly refined kerosene also. and it was not cheap at almost 7 bucks a gallon! I am going to go back to the more expensive k-1 kerosene. it is more expensive but worth it in my case.

There is at least one aftermarket manufacturers who makes replacement spouts. I had asked them the same question; according to the answer I got, all the Scepter water and gas cans use the same size/thread pattern spout, the only thing that is different between a petroleum fuel and potable water spout is the color. That isn't a definite "yes", but I think, especially with how easy it is to make Amazon returns, you would be safe in ordering it.

If you're new to nitro definitely look at temperature gun and after run oil and always run all the gas out if you're not going to run it in the next couple of days WD40 works fine for after run oil I've got a slayer 4x4 and a 4 tec been having the truck about a year and haven't had to change a part yet it's very durable
