My old 5 kw heater used to heat my 16x10 shed ok...it lasted 3 years....the new one was sposed to be 5kw but i think the barstuards sent me a 3kw as it takes forever to warm up now. I am on my last galleon of red at the moment, you can use central heating oil if you put a couple a table spunes worth of oil in it to lube the pump..

Bloody autocorrect Lookout the grammar police is here

He’s not a CBF, it’s his CBF

Got over the grumps and been out and got the Kwacker Death Trap rideable again. Freed off the throttle as it had just been pushed down the bar and jammed against the Bar End. Took the front brake lever off Shadows bike and used that to get him mobile again. He works she doesn't, at the moment. She's not to bothered given the weather. The front master cylinder is serviceable although has noticeable road rash and could do with being replaced. The front brake switch is broken but cheap to replace. The bar is bent but it's really not much maybe a degree or two so that can wait. I think he will need new fork seals come next MoT so I will sort the bars, both sides. out when it is stripped to do the seals. I still have his original serviceable front right indicator in the shed so that can go back on once I have patched the fairing panel. It's going to be an ugly repair though but as I said to him I can get it serviceable for nothing and he can get a new panel if and when he wants to. Personally I don't think the bike is worth it as it is a shed cosmetically but that is up to How High.

Nah he is fine and he hasn't smashed up his helmet so hopefully only pride and ear bending to deal with.

Mine was supposed to be 5kw but I think that is optimistic. It would heat up a 10x10 shed pretty quickly, esp if it’s insulated. You might need to be careful where the exhaust goes out, it gets pretty hot. If you have somewhere locally that sells red diesel it would be even cheaper to run.

-7 around us for most of the day

I bloody love my diesel heater, one of the best things I have bought for the garage. I put it on a half hr before I need to go out there, it’s a big and mostly uninsulated double garage and it takes the edge off the cold pretty fast. I did open it up and changed the fuel lines after a year or so as the ones on it were shit. It runs most of the day on 1-2 litres of diesel. I have noticed that the exhaust gas is very hot so I was half heartedly looking for one of those tall radiators on marketplace, and was going to run the exhaust through that to recover a bit more of the heat. Not done it yet tho.

Glad everyone ok , would simply terrifie me seing the temp dip below 0 c , wouldn't catch on a bike ...

I assume his age allowed him to bounce and not break.

FFS How High has been down again on ice. It was recovered last night. Had a look this morning, new indicator fucked and the fairing panel it sits in holed. Front master cylinder fucked brake lever fucked. Handle bar bent and throttle Jammed, although if I can straighten it I think the throttle problem will go away. Too cold out there today to play bikes. Think a diesel heater for my shed is on the cards when finances allow.

Have you repaired it since the crash?
