Dont put it right to the bottom,about 3/4 down is correct.Been and had a word with my friendly spanner this afternoon and he says he will put it straight into the van tank for me.

But where can you buy it in small quantities? Local suppliers only deliver large amounts & will not let you collect from the depot.28 sec heating oil 47p ltr.
This is always a problem. I was discussing this topic a year ago with someone at Moffat (sorry, can't recall whom) and they told me that at 'normal' quantities, they were quoted well over £1/litre and even then was hard to get.But where can you buy it in small quantities?

I would love a log burner, if my van wasn’t over 3.5t and me getting closer to 70 I would fit one. However it would be additional to a diesel heater not instead off. Good choice methinks GreggAfter some thought, I have decided to cancel my plans for fitting my log burner & fit one of these instead. Much less mess I reckon, no dust or soot or damp wood stored in the bus, plus the space I was going to use is large enough to fit a diesel heater & still have room for a fridge & more storage. Will be using a separate tank to feed it so as not to disturb the existing setup.
I'm just outside Pontefract. Will be looking into supplies shortly as I intend to fit one in my bus now. My old man heats his house with 28sec, which he buys 1300 litres at a time, shall have to see where the drain tap is on his tank.....This is always a problem.

28Sec Heating Oil aka Kerosene is actually better than either normal Road Diesel or Red Diesel for the heater - burns cleaner and less choking (it is a common recommendation for anyone running a Diesel Heater on regular fuel to occasional have a stint on Kerosene or Paraffin).
Whereabouts are you based, Gregg?
Get yourself a 20 litre Jerrycan and pump some from your dads tank when you visit. 20L will last a good length of timeI'm just outside Pontefract.

On one of my deliveries of Kerosene, I asked the driver if he could put some into my 20L container (save pumping it out the big tank) and he said he couldn't because of the way it is pumped out, which makes total sense as the outlet nozzle is so large and the speed of the pumping is so fast, so it does make sense that the suppliers will not deliver except to big tanks (and wouldn't be surprised if they were also legally obligated to only deliver into a bunded tank as well).But where can you buy it in small quantities?

Thanks Fergie1061 for the instructions will find them helpful when I fit mine.After installing one myself in my 1990 bedouin I know how hard it is to follow the instructions for start up so I have written tese out - taken from You Tube video (first time install on Chinese heater LCD monitor) Hope they help anyone in similar position. I am well pleased with mine so any questions please ask.
Cheers for that will have look.E-bay not sure think it was tbh. I put mine in the back cupboard. Installed an external filler and connected hose to that and plastic tank neck no smell no issues so far
I have the 8 kw version and it keeps my 8x4 metre workshop warmHere is the link to the one I have purchased . I know it has got a built in fuel tank but I am going to pipe it into a separate 20ltr container outside
