Toyotomi Kerosene direct vent heaters
Posted: Sun Nov 15, 2009 12:55 pm
I have resently purchased a Lazer 56 w/ optional fuel tank, which is mobile home approved.
I have installed it and is currently running as my primary heat source for my 1000 cubic foot 24x40 double wide home here in upstate NY . $1700.00 dollars plus set up cost copper fuel ines filter etc.
In the past 2 weeks the unit has averaged 1 quart to less then half a gallon of kerosene per 24 hour cycle . thermostate set 68 degrees during the day and 63 at night
I also installed all brand new pella windows in my home ( thxs Greg for coming over and giiving instructions w/ removal an replacement )
I was considering installing a outdoor wood stove on my property but the village would not allow it.
I do not wish to be subjected to any issues reguarding Suburban propane and there prices for propane service which I have used for the last 8 yrs there insane.
This was my only option and was approved by the code enforcement officer in are village as a heating appliance.
I do not recommend buying the optional fuel tank for $200.00 dollars as it is NOT the same drop in type fuel tank I had for my Kerosun 10,000 btu heater.
You must uncouple the fuel connection while the fuel tank is in the heater, the same as uncoupling a air gun from and air supply line.
I since have bought a used 40 gallon steel tank and stand that came off a refrigerated highway trailer and set it up on 3 ciderblock high platform so it gravity feeds the heater with a filter and shut off valves which is plumbed into the back of the heater.
