Nute Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 3 hours ago, Saul said: 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. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's bloody cheaper than a big gas cylinder. I have the insulation to use on my shed so I am going to refurb it as soon as the weather gets less Baltic. It's a 10' x 10' shed so I am thinking a 5kw heater would be the right size for it. There are lots of jobs I haven't got near because of the temperature recently.

There are lots of jobs I haven't got near because of the temperature recently. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I will explore the red diesel option. I will be careful of the exhaust exit as well. Thanks for the heads up. I have the 15 litres of diesel I put in my CBF back along. Could use that I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
