Our take on the 175,000 BTU Kerosene/Diesel Forced Air Heater with 13.5-Gallon Tank

This is a portable forced-air torpedo heater that burns kerosene or diesel and puts out 175,000 BTU, enough to warm a large garage, workshop or construction site. It has a 13.5-gallon tank and a thermostat, so it cycles on and off to hold a set temperature instead of running flat out. It sits in the same class as other 175,000 BTU torpedo heaters, which typically heat roughly 4,000 square feet in open or semi-open spaces. It suits job sites and unheated outbuildings, not sealed living areas, because combustion heaters need ventilation and put out some fumes and noise.

Questions and answers

What size space will 175,000 BTU heat?
Roughly 4,000 square feet in an open or semi-open space, depending on insulation and outside temperature. It is meant for large garages, shops and sites, not small rooms.
Can I use it indoors?
Only in a ventilated space such as a garage with the door cracked or a construction site. It is a combustion heater and produces exhaust, so never run it in a sealed living area.
Kerosene or diesel?
Both work. Kerosene burns cleaner and smells less; diesel is cheaper and easier to find but produces more odor and soot.
Does the thermostat control the temperature?
Yes. Set the thermostat and the burner cycles on and off to hold that temperature rather than running continuously.
Does it need electricity?
Yes. The fan and ignition need a standard power outlet, so plan for a cord run or a generator on site.
How often do I refill the tank?
The 13.5-gallon tank runs for hours depending on the setting. Expect to refill less often than with smaller 5- to 10-gallon heaters.
