Petrol or fiesel Eber ?

Diesels need about 13 volt plus clean fuel plus a balanced flue, timers/thermostats switched to manual and away they go.

Make sure that you have the thermostat turned up full in this warm weather!
You might need several start attempts to get the fuel up to the burner.Manufacturers recommendation is that heaters are run once a month to keep them in working order.

You may have to replace the glowplug - they don't last forever. However, I think they are around £15 - and easy to fit.

I spent days buggering around with mine checking and re checking everything. Turned out the dial on the thermostat control was not engaging and thus not controlling the thermostat, as it was set to cold on the minimum setting. :ok
