The service company has probably actually done you a favour by refusing to service your heater, as I suspect that they were probably doing nothing more than what is covered in the Guide and Video, which is something that most competent DIY’ers can do themselves with basic tools and household cleaning agents. The 100 Euro’s which you are saving on servicing costs in the future will buy you quite a reasonable amount of fuel & heat, and even more so if you use domestic heating oil. Thanks for all the detail and calculations, scothun and HappyMJ (and welcome to the forum, scothun!). These prices are mainly affected by the international oil price, which has climbed steadily since the start of the year.

I know the kind of heater you say you have; I considered one, but rejected it because they need electricity as well as paraffin to produce heat. The electric supply in my park is quite unreliable, fails often, and can stay off for hours. One memorable evening it was off for about 4 hours as the temperature plummeted and I froze! That was when I was reliant on electric heat. No more. As long as I have paraffin, I have heat. It's a good feeling! Carbon Monoxide: Yes I am aware of all that. We use Lpg heaters, an open fire and electric heating. We are still alive so I am aware of all that. The unit does not need a wide open window usually the times you going in/ out of the room is enough or very slightly opened windows. However I do admit that is more than it would be closed completely. But if everything fails all of them are fitted with a carbon monoxide alarm which shuts the unit off immediately if the carbon monoxide level increased to an unsafe level. We use storage heaters in the bedrooms... If you've ever wondered about the difference between paraffin and kerosene, you're not alone. Many people believe that these two fuels are one and the same, but in reality, they have distinct properties that set them apart. The price of international products used in the refinement of petroleum have been sustained at elevated levels, following a sharp spike at the end of February. Inefficient: Paraffin stoves and heaters are often less efficient than other energy sources, leading to higher fuel consumption and costs.In South Africa, paraffin is mostly used in impoverished and lower-income households as a way of heating homes and cooking food. This is more common in colder, winter months and at night, when paraffin lamps, heaters, and stoves are often the only source of heat in these households. The problem with the paraffin heaters that although they are economical, they are quite pricey (almost twice the price than in Japan) and the "recommended" fuel cost nearly 2 times more than the regular C1 paraffin/ Kerosene which these machines are made for. (Again in Japan where these unit are the main form of heating, people just get that fuel from the petrol stations) That is because the vendors want to earn money, after you bought the unit instead of you going to your local heating fuel supplier. The main selling point of these very expensive fuels that apparently they are odourless. However most of the people says that the normal C1 fuel is not bad at all apart from the times when you start/ stop the machine. This however will turn out quite soon as I will test both. We have a wee baby so for us it is important. Paraffin, also known as kerosene, is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid derived from petroleum. It is often used as a fuel for lamps, heaters, and stoves due to its high energy content and affordability. Why is the price of paraffin important?

I stopped using the Exocet additive towards the end of last winter, my main concern for using it in the first place, being the risk of additional soot deposits forming inside the heater shortening the life of the burner as a result of using a less refined product. The additive which I used was the premium product which contained a light fragrance which also helped to combat the jet fuel styled whiff at switch on. A smell which is slightly stronger on standard heating oil, granted, but not painfully so, and is generally gone once the heater has started. I’ve used a Corona Heater for three years, and a Cheap Kero KRE-300 Heater for Two years on standard 28 second kerosene (Domestic Heating Oil) with no ill effects to either myself or the heaters – and they do get a lot of use as they are my sole form of household heating, and have been throughout the period.

Certain products carry a surcharge due to these being oversized items or attracting a specific surcharge from the carrier. These are typically products such as tanks and barrels.

Boiling Point (BP), Paraffin wax changes its state from liquid to gas at 371°C (699.8°F or 644.15K) My parents warned me against heating with paraffin, they said it stank, gave out water, dangerous etc Now safety.. Never ever use it in a room where anyone will be sleeping and that incudes your baby. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and this heater does emit a very small amount of it. You need to ventilate your house to ensure these levels don't get too high. You also need an audible detector.

End of Winter Servicing is more important than anything, regardless of whether you use the recommended premium paraffin, or ordinary heating oil Kerosene, i’ve had no issues with either of my heaters (one cheap and from China and the other a moderately expensive brand name) after 4 & 5 years of daily Winter use and I attribute regular cleaning and servicing to have been the key to their reliability – rather than any additive. The Exocet additive obviously did no harm, but from my own experience it didn’t seem to do anything beneficial either, the amount of soot and carbon inside the combustion chamber seemed to be visibly the same in both heaters, at the end of the Winter where I wasn’t using the Exocet additive compared to the end of the previous Season, where Exocet was religiously added, fuel consumption remained the same too, and the heater didn’t seem to run any differently, so I stopped using it. It is important to note that paraffin has many uses beyond just being a fuel source. It is widely used in the cosmetic industry, as well as in the production of candles and other household items. Thus, knowing the cost of paraffin per litre is crucial for both personal and commercial use. I’ve found that UK distributors seem very reluctant to supply any spare parts for these heaters beyond consumables such as fuel strainer filters and fuel tank caps, and there is little information available to be found on the internet, especially when it comes to servicing or repairing these heaters.

Calculate how much of this gravel is required to attain a specific depth in a cylindrical, quarter cylindrical or in a rectangular shaped aquarium or pond [ weight to volume | volume to weight | price ] The rand remained relatively stabile in the first two weeks of March, but on average, however, the rand/dollar exchange rate has trended slightly higher than in February, within a narrow range of around R15.00 to the dollar. From this information, it is clear that the prices of paraffin have been steadily increasing since the beginning of 2022. There are various reasons why this happening, as can be seen below: Reason So, which fuel is right for you? Ultimately, the answer depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you're looking for an affordable and efficient heating option that won't produce a lot of fumes or odours, paraffin may be the way to go. On the other hand, if you need a fuel with a higher energy content and are willing to pay a bit more for it, kerosene might be a better choice.
