This small economical heater is very popular in RVs. Made by Vevor. Sold as a diesel fuel burner with fan it can also burn waste oils. I got mine here > VEVOR 8KW Diesel Air Heater Muffler Diesel Heater 12V 8000W Diesel Parking Heater Remote Control Remote Control with LCD Switch for Car Bus Trucks Motor-Home and Boats | VEVOR US
Available in 2kw, 5kw, and 8kw sizes. It is 12v. I bought the big one and mounted it outside my little shop 12 x24 x8h yesterday. Will complete the through the wall install and test fire today. I chose to mount it outside so I can keep the fuel and oil outdoors. Exhaust is already outdoors also. And I'll keep a big 12v battery on a maintainer indoors. (uses about 2ah and hour and runs on average 30 hrs on 1 gal of fuel) I removed the control panel and drilled a hole in the cover to feed the wires through the wall so I'll have controls indoors ( it has a remote control) battery wires run inside as well. There is a kit version available. But I liked the all enclosed version. Seen people not use the tank but put the fuel line into a 5 gal can or barrel. Also seen upgraded fuel pumps used... we will see if any mods are needed...
I plan to use a 50/50 mix of red diesel and used motor oil if I run it a lot. This will bring the cost down considerably. My friend has a lot of waste oil I can have.
There are lots of videos on you tube for this inexpensive gem. Check it out
