okay so here we got right on the hoist here is the DeWalt 215,000 BTU heater the problem I was
running into today was it would fire up sometimes sometimes it wouldn't fire up so I would toggle
the switch a couple of times and yeah when she did fire up fill the whole shop full of
smoke I figured you know what I better adjust my pump pressure because it's probably way too
high so that's exactly what I did so if you have this condition where you turn it on and it will
not fire up sometimes it's not the lack of fuel sometimes it's too much fuel and you'll find out
soon enough when you finally do get it fired up if you toggle it a couple of times and it fills your
whole shop full of smoke because that's just the unburnt diesel that's just been collected in the
chute here so I'll show you how to check your pump pressure on this one here the maximum is 8.4 psi I
don't run it at 8.4 cuz I don't need two hundred and fifteen thousand BTUs in my shop plus it just
burns a lot more fuel I turn mine down and it's it's something that you can adjust if you turn it
down too much you're not gonna get enough fuel and it will not light I'll show you how I adjust mine
and it solved the problem well here we are right here this is your adjusting port here behind here
is going to be a spring and a small little ball bearing sometimes this gets stuck over time and it
needs to have being a little bit of an adjustment and that's what's happened in this particular case
so when I first checked it of course I'm not going to crank up like before but when I first checked
it it was almost at 10 psi and that's what was happening it was filling up the chute with diesel
and it couldn't ignite and it was just blowing smoke so I cranked her way back and she runs
fine now so it's going to get loud and I'll show you here and this is just your regular automotive
vacuum tester these are pretty cheap you can pick these up for like 10 15 bucks and all I done here
was I'll just take this off here this is just a plumbing fitting to go in here you know for the
test port and they're very cheap you can pick up at Home Depot anywhere so let's just fire it up
down here 8.4 the max
chart there I would
if I want
or knock it off let's take a look in the front end just so youse guys it is running good
okay so that's it right there and you can see you don't have any flames pop it out the front
I don't need to have it run right up to my so this perfect for me
get up maximum make sure you check your settings okay that was an easy fix and I
think everybody could do that and it's just a matter of just adjusting that that Inlet
pressure and if you don't have one of them gauges guys you can just adjust the pressure
on itself and you'll tell if you've got too much fuel coming in you'll have flames coming
out the chute and I don't like that so you can just back it off yourself it's a very easy fix
to do and I was surprised when I come up to the shop here and it was just full of smoke
so I hope you enjoyed this it's this nice little easy tip that anybody can do come back again if
