Is this safe to leave along in the cabin of a gas boat, diesel boat?

I have mine in my milk house, I leave it plugged in all winter. I have never had a problem with it, but never had it around gas or diesel. I would like to add, the outside of the heater has never felt hot.

They are self contained and should have no problem on a boat. Unit is sealed. Read q/a on this b4 and others state it is water tight. Good luck.

Mine is bolted into the bed of my pickup truck, that I drive everyday. It is full of diesel most of the time also. No problems either.

Yes sir as far as I know add with any cleaning agent there is a rush of flames, however however as long as it is shipped where temperature remains before flash point (labeled on the can) you should be ok. I've stored in the garage and we live in HOT close, and never had any problem. This is the best item to keep contaminated out of Dirk system, but may I add, get Lucas fuel treatment, ad about 1/3 1/4 to FULL tank of gas, keeps corrosion and hoses from premature wearing out. I've used Lucas fit many years and zero problems, good for carb injectors, and rust inhibitors, and stops damage from methanol used in fuels. Hope this helps sir

Hi Jen, Thanks for the question. If the console is inside the cabin, I do not see an issue at all. If it is outside, I think it could be fine as long as it is not getting wet as it does need to be plugged in. Otherwise, should sound great! We will bring sunscreen! Contact AV-Express for more information.

Mine stays at boathouse. Leave it out until gas smell goes away. Take batteries out so they don't corrode in unit.

It says right on the front of the box "No need to turn off pilot lights" so you should be fine to leave it on. Maybe just don't place the can right next to the stove.

I use it on my sailboat, I cannot see why it cannot be used in a motorhome. On boats propane tanks must be secured in separate ventilated lockers so reduce risk of expolsive ignition. Propane is heavier than air, and can pool in lower deck and bilge areas if leaks occur. I don't know if motorhomes come under similar safety concerns.

Yes, it's safe. It's the only propane heater I'd recommend for indoor use of any kind. I use these regularly -- as in DAILY -- in my 200 sq foot cabin for weeks at a time, and have done so over the course of 6 years. I don't think most people answering actually use these for heating a small space, or for daily heating. I do. I wouldn't leave it on while you sleep. Yes, it's safe. I've certainly slept while my heater is on. But it's still a propane appliance, and it's just not good practice to sleep with an open flame in a room. If I'm using the heater on and off during the day/night, I leave the propane tank on. If I'm not going to use the heater for 24 hours or more, I recommend turning off the tank, and burning off the last of the propane in the hose. In other words: 1) Turn the heater on low. 2) Turn the tank off, but let the heater keep burning, using up the propane that's still in the hose. 3) When the heater runs down, turn off the heater. Hope this helps. - tkh

I don't see any reason it wouldn't work in a boat holding tank. I don't know where you dump it and really don't think it can hurt any thing in your system...

Absolutely, I use it on the stern deck of a motor yacht that I live on my neighbor uses it on his boat down in the bilge area of a diesel motor yacht to keep the lines and other essential equipment from freezing works very well just make certain the proper clearances recommended are followed as shown in instructions

Shouldn't be a problem. The handle is thermowelded so it's a solid attachment point. Also the hull floats on the surface, very little of the boat is actually underwater so it takes very little power to move it around.

I believe that is supposed to mean don't mount it permanently in an RV. It is safe to use in a well vented area. Just remember that the exhaust is hot and produces noxious and dangerous fumes.

My husband said his boat has a Diesel engine and it worked fine for him.He has a Willard and is very happy withthe Racor.

If you open the windows and maybe a door to I Would say yes. Do not leave this thing on to long since the gas it uses can be lethal in closed spaces (carbon monoxide poisoning). Although butane gas is still used widely in homes these days as well, it would just be safer :)

You can store it outside. However NEVER run a gasoline engine/generator inside or in a low ventilated area. It is extremely deadly.
