For safe operation, a kerosene heater should be used in a well-ventilated area with proper airflow. It is recommended to have at least one square inch of open ventilation for every 1000 BTU of the heater's output. Additionally, ensure that there is a source of fresh air to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.

How many gallons of kerosene will a 400000 BTU forced air heater use?

To determine the gallons of kerosene a 400,000 BTU forced air heater will use, you need to know the energy content of kerosene, which is approximately 135,000 BTUs per gallon. Dividing 400,000 BTUs by 135,000 BTUs per gallon gives you about 2.96 gallons. Therefore, a 400,000 BTU heater would use roughly 3 gallons of kerosene for each hour of operation at full capacity.

What I always did was unhooked the line from the tank right under the filter and then slowly put kerosene in the line until all the air bubbles came out. Then I put it all back together and opened the valve at the tank back up. Then I would press the primer button on the monitor three times. It would start back up and work great after that
