I have acquired an old diesel space heater, it's got a stainless steel chimney and a steel cylinder inside, which is supposed to get hot - but the fumes go out of the chimney and clean warm air comes out the front.
After starting it, it fires, thick black smoke plumes out of the chimney then it cuts out and the reset button lights up. If I keep starting it - eventually it will run for a bit then cuts out. Any ideas on how to sort it?
It sounds like it could probably do with a good service more than anything. Most of it is stripping down and cleaning, there are a few parts that might be worth swapping. I could possibly be more helpful if you could tell me what make and model it is?
Failing that run through everything on http://diesel-heater-servicing-guide.site88.net
I wouldn't mess with the pump pressure or air intake until you've tried everything else. I'd clean all the filters first then give it a go to see if it's improved if I were you.
