We have a vented lose everything mounted propane heater in the the basement for emergency winter use only. We have noticed that the run light burns a significant amount of propane during the summer months. Is it reliable for me to turn off the pilot now and then back on later in the fall?
yes. look for the hold sway over knob which will show- off/pilot/on. turn it to off then where the gas line comes in you should see a enchiridion gas shut-off valve. turn it to opposite fa the gas line.

Why shouldn't you run a heater with a propane tank in the house?
Jan 16, 2007 by Kurt | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I use a ventless propane heater to torridness my garage. The hose to the propane tank is only 4 feet hanker so I have to keep the heater near the garage door in order to keep the tank fa. I would like to move the heater around the garage but I am concerned that it may be dangerous. What precisely is the danger?
No, you aren't customary to get carbon monoxide poisoning. Your heater has an oxygen depletion sensor, and if it fails, it will file for Chapter Eleven on the side of caution. Ventless heaters will burn other fumes in the air, and in a garage medium, can lead to some nasty if not toxic odors. There are two capability problems with using the tank indoors: First, if the tank leaks, your leaking into a confined accommodation, with a open source of ignition close by. Flash, and more important in my opinion: Propane expands and pressure increases as the temperature rises. If your tank is filled from a remote source, and brought into a warm room, (or one that is growing to get warm when you fire up the heater), the excess pressure could likely be vented by the tanks liberation valve. While the valve will re-seat itself after the pressure subsides, this can periodically be a rather large, sudden burst of gas. I opinion do use portable space type heaters in heterogeneous confined spaces, but only SUPERVISED, and have more than a decade working with, transporting, and handling translucent fuels. Above all common sense needs to sway. ALso, any full service propane supplier can make up a longer hose at a very appropriate price. Make sure you tell the the use you're using it for, so they can size it properly. Piece-goods e freight luck.

is it okay to run your heater and fridge on propane while driving down the road?
Sep 27, 2008 by sherry h | Posted in Safety
We have a 1984 dolphin motorhome and we wanted to be familiar with if we can run our propane heater while we are driving down the road and if not how do we heat the motor available while driving?
we don't have any owners manuals we fair-minded bought it used w/out them
how do we heat the motor cuttingly the coach part w/ out the propane heater?
My little woman and I rented a 30 foot mobile home ground for a trip a couple of years ago. Before we drove out of the rental yard lot, a technicial lit the leader and started the fridge to cooling.
I assume that meant that it was judicial to run it while driving.
As far as heating up the coach section, I would have just turned on the mechanism's heater, the same as I would any other vehicle. This heater uses the heat generated by the motor, rather than any combustive system. No need to turn on the propane heater until reaching the stop. The engine is going to produce heat, anyway, so why barren propane when the motor provides free heat?

"We used about half the propane that we normally would, and propane was pretty expensive. Cheffey usually spends about 700 dollars a year filling up this
