Will the heater be useful on an above ground oil tank to prevent the suction line form the burner from freezing?

What a novel idea ! Having some experience in the burner business, my answer would be yes...at the least, it wouldn't hurt.

NO you can only use clear kerosene not the off road type or you will ruin the heater

If you plumb it properly, you can drain it for the winter. I believe there is built in freeze protection on this unit, however, which will activate the burner if it is at freezing point.

I'd say yes. I just installed mine, nat gas, on my wooden deck. I can literally put my feet against the ss outer ring and its cold to the touch. It sets about a 1/2" above the deck surface on 3 or 4 "feet". I wouldn't hesitate, I love mine, and so much better than the ones you can buy at the local home improvement stores. 60,000 BTU's, this thing puts off some heat!

Gas is probably better for heat distribution. But electric burners will work as long as they make contact with the pan.

It should work. It stop the heater from getting a white powder on the burners.

If you are referring to the propane system, then definitely yes. We put a cutoff valve directly before the heater as a safety precaution.

I haven't tried it that way...I would keep the lid closed just to keep the temperature up. Also cuts down on oil in air.

It can if your burners are close by. You can use one but remember this thing gets real hot and steamy. So have windows and vents ready to go

You can use Heat gas treament or air break anti- freeze, these are two items I use in mind now. There are other fuel sources out there go on Utube and look.

Yes as long as your thermostat is not sitting directly on the unitif it is you migh. t run the risk of melting. most of the heat comes out of the top of the unit. I highly recommend an IR based thermometer

Kerosene freezes at -22F. Pipe lagging with insulation will stabilize at low temperature. Don't use the heat tape. It has a switch on it that will arc. The arc is an ignition source.

You can regulate the flow of propane to the burner and it will affect the temperature, How much I don't know. I lower it when I want it on, but am not soldering anything.

This type of heater is normally used for a battery or oil pan, transmission pan etc. not really meant for pipes, if you need to keep pipes from freezing "heat tape" with a built in heat control, might want to check with electrician or plumber they both install this type unit.

Yes, but there is an issue with freezeup after about 45-60 min. I got around it by hooking up 2 (20 lb) tanks up together using an attachment (http://www.propaneproducts.com/catalog/all-mr.-heater-parts-fittings-hoses/mr.-heater-2-tank-hookup-98.html) good luck.

It has a regular propane attachment so it shouldn't matter what size tank you sit it on. The only issue I can see is that the heater would sit perpendicular to the ground. I'm not sure how that would effect the operation.

no, i am a contractor it will freeze. if its a summer home pump anti-freeze through it blowing out lines will not work. takagi is the best on the market
