WILL THIS RUN ON #2HEATING OIL IN AN EMERGENCY

Yes I run mine on 50/50 mix diesel and waste engine oil, or straight heating oil in winter and straight waste motor oil in summer.

Yes it would be a problem as you need a small amount of power for the electric ignitor. We have this on our RV and a 12 volt battery is enough power to ignite the propane. Once it is running you don't need power.

Yes, it is set up to run on either natural gas or propane. If you already have propane, make sure that your supply line is of sufficient diameter and that you run it off of a second regulator. Your propane supplier should be able to determine this for you.

The heat here is a central propane furnance, so I can't respond with accuracy. However, I don't see why it wouldn't as it is a digital and provides an on-off based on the surrounding temperature. Sorry that I can't provide more info.

won't hurt, but most pumps come prelubed. just don't run it without water ever and oil.

Hope I did not say anything crazy. The Poulan runs on gas. Oil is also required in the little oil receptacle to keep the motor cool.

It might, but it's not rated for it, so I wouldn't risk it. The oils are Class K, this one is "For Classes A,B and C fires"

It is a gas engine so it will start easy. Just let it warm up a little while before putting it under load.

no. you will need air line, 2 air stones, a "t" for the air line and a check valve to protect the air pump if the power fails. e mail me at lou@oilleakfixers.com if you have further questions///lou

You need to put oil in. It will not work until the oil is in. I did not connect the battery. It is easy to pull start. Use the leads provided if you want to connect the battery. You have to remove the cover on the side of the unit to get to the battery.

I would imagine it would as it's about same viscosity of heating oil. The pump works great.

The generator listed #56352 is a gas unit. No oil mixing with gas. It runs on regular.

Yes, but attain the 1500/2000 watt versions since you are dealing with diesel. I run my 1000 watt on a 4 cylinder unleaded. When under 20 degrees, and heater plugged in for two hours, it starts like the weather is 50 degrees farenhite outside. When under 20 car won't start, this is due to weak battery.

I'm using 30 weight oil. The unit is NOT a 2 stroke engine that burns a mix of oil and gas. The oil is for lubrication only.

If you want it to work on "Automatic", while plugged into 120 AC power. Otherwise it will only run on propane ( which it does while driving or any time not plugged in)Hope that helps, John

It is designed to run on 12 volt not 24. But since it is direct current, in theory you could but I would keep it on the lowest setting and check the heat after 2 minutes. If it is hot, stop before you damage someting

This unit is strictly 125 volts. Make sure your a/c is 125 volts, not 250 volts. This generator can easily power the coffee pot and a small microwave oven, but I think the A/C should be run by itself. I haven't had any problems with powering two gas furnaces and the usual household appliances. I do not try to run them all at the same time. Also, be sure to use heavy gauge extension cords. I use 12 gauge and have not experienced any problems. I use only 89 octane Shell gasoline and treat it with Sea Foam. My unit always starts on the first pull.Good luck.
