Now weren't you just saying you were getting that kind of heat with your unit? So much so that you can't keep hoses on it? Getting black death? A properly set up lg will only give you 230f. unless you monkey with the controls.I agree with banning them. After seeing what 250-260f can do to our hoses and polyester carpet when the hose lays on it, there's no need for that kind of heat.
And for chinese restaurants and pizza hut...just mix a better prespray.
180-225f is perfect and heat exchangers can hold that heat easy. Leave the fuel heated setup on the pressure washers on an open trailer
That's why I've been turning my heat down since I sacrificed the first set of hosesNow weren't you just saying you were getting that kind of heat with your unit?

Regulations? Yeah, mine wouldn't pass inspection as I use a 20lb tank inside the van. It is always turned off both at the tank and heater when not in use. To make it safer, I should disconnect the gas line from the tank, then I am merely transporting it. Our regulations say that the tank and regulator should be mounted outside the van and the system should be installed and/or inspected by a certified gas installer. There is no chance of explosion as long as you keep your doors open when operating. There is always chance of a fire if you have any loose connections. Two of my units are custom built propane heaters and I have one Hydramaster cds. Lately, even though if refer to my cds as a back up van, I have been using it a lot more lately. Not as hot as the propane units but so simple to use. If I was buying any kind of a new unit, it wouldn't be propane.What are regulations in Canada?
Mine was mounted in the rear of the van essentially making my unit a BaNe BOMB
I still use BBQ tanks. When I know the fuel is low, I carry a spare. When working the spare sits outside the van until needed. I know my systems and am comfortable with them but really should be using a belly tank with the regulator outside the van. I would not let an employee use my system.in the pic it looks like that LG is deep in the van up against the side with a wooden shelf right above it. doesnt seem too smart to me but its hard to tell from the pic.
They should be near the door with plenty of breathing room. I think they are just as safe as any propane stoves or heaters in any RV but just like an RV cant be a dumbass about it.
cant have trash and cardboard boxes all over a rat nest van.
that being said I had an accident with one about 8 years ago but it was my own fault... we were still using bbq tanks and I tried to put an inline fuel gauge on the tank. big mistake lol
Carpet cleaners, what do you expectExperts everywhere
are you allowed to run a belly tank there?I've had a gas fitter look at my setup and he said he'd be comfortable using it
the question mark here the authorities have is over the petrol/gas tote that pretty much every TM runs as most our commercial vans are diesel
no, belly tanks are aftermarket structure so dont comply or need to be independantly certifiedare you allowed to run a belly tank there?
If you're going to keep a slide in for a few years, it's not hard to install a belly tank and convert the engine to propane as well. Safer and one fuel to run the TM and heater.I've had a gas fitter look at my setup and he said he'd be comfortable using it

I have a neighbor who has a power washing business. He has converted his Kohler and engines to run on propane. They run cleaner than on gasoline, cheaper and less maintenance according to him. Most small motor mechanics can do the conversion. Kits are available online. A camper/trailer company can install the belly tank for you. If you're running a lg heater already, makes sense to run the engine on propane as well.relatively hard to find a gas powered commercial van, and if you do why would you want it when diesel has more power and economy
or do you mean fuel burner TM's? I've looked (not seriously) at propane kohlers
