It does run on diesel and assembly is easy. How ever had non stop problems with unit after running for a bit.

Assembly was fairly easy. I'm into my second year of running this unit on diesel with no issues so far. After first year of use unit, was cleaned as described in the operating instructions.

It is recommended for use with No.1-K kerosene fuel. They do factory test for use with No.2-K kerosene, No.1 or No.2 Diesel, No.1 or No.2 fuel oil or JP8 Jet A fuel and these fuels may be used as well. Assembly is very easy.

Yes, you can use diesel, however the manufacturer recommends using Kerosene 1. It can shorten the lifespan of the product and requires much more maintenance.

Sorry, but I couldn't find any info about this pump and diesel fuel. Suggest you contact Carter for further information.

It runs our AC just fine. And I was surprised how quiet it was. It had some nose but not bad. We use ours in campgrounds. I am very happy with my generator.

No auto idle that I can tell. Runs great a couple years later though... Need to keep the on board battery charged but pull starting is easy enough my small statured wife could handle it just fine.

Here's the pro temp web site. http://www.protemp.us/Oil_Fired_Radiant_Heating.php They have the owners manual for down load. It says diesel can be used. But from my experience with torpedo heaters the sulfur bus station smell is not worth the $.25 -.50 / gal. price difference.

in my experience NONE. Mine blow up with 21 hours with zero help from either the manufacturer or Amazon. It was disapointing to say the least. I have found out since that 3600 rpm Chinese diesel will almost without exception fail. The price was too good for a reason

Haven't used it in a diesel, but don't see why that would matter. It's purpose is to embed in the moving parts in the lower part of the engine. It has worked very well in my vintage Corvette. Had some minor piston slap on starting cold. That appears to be gone after adding XADO to crankcase.

Unleaded gas. Not diesel. Not more than 10% ethanol. Use mid grade gas (or even high octane) and it will run like a charm.

Runs fine on regular 90% gasoline with 10% ethanol mix. Never had a problem starting or weak power.

The unit read by the up and down movement of the arm. I do not see a problem with diesel.

The performance is amazing in my truck a Duramax diesel, it keeps making power the more you push on the pedal! I keep mine on the performance setting and I love to feel it and hear it when I take off so it hasn't helped my fuel mileage, but I think it would if you drive normal.

My guess is yes, as the specs state diesel is okay. But you should probably try to confirm that by looking up and reading the user guide for it or find the specs on Rules own website

Hi Gene - this was backordered, and I got mine today. There was no damage at all due to shipping. I followed the "first time" instructions (add oil, install air filter, run unloaded i.e. with air tank valve open for 20 minutes) - that all went fine.It is working perfectly so far.Boy - its really strong and well built too. The manual is kind of crappy though - but its not rocket science.Rob

It is kind of an orangeish glow. What I usually do with a new dye after I run it for about 100 miles is get a sample of the oil from filter or drain plug or other source and look at it with the UV light to see what it will look like. Ten minutes is not enough to get it to all of the places unless it is a serious leak in which case you shouldn't need dye for it. What is the oil capacity and is it gas or diesel? Diesel uses a different dye and if it is a large capacity system it might take 2 bottles of die.

We got this for my son over a year ago, and I believe it still runs pretty well. I have not heard him complain of it having engine noises or shutting off.
