Where is your heater installed at and also where is the tank? I would love to put a diesel heater in my 24’ Sea Sport but just not to excited about having any diesel drip/leak in my boat cabin.
The heater was installed by the previous owner not my idea of a perfect spot.
Yeah that is the hang up I am having on installing one. It doesn’t take much diesel to really stink up an area.
Try a kitchen detergent with an odor.
If you cannot bring enough for the whole class, leave it at home!!
Kerosene, diesel, jet A (very close to kerosene) and stove oil seem pretty interchangeable unless you're getting into lubrication quality. I would think diesel would burn the most "dirty"
I've only ever used kerosene- my last boat was 5 years of kerosene on a espar d4- never had any issues and from what I've heard is it burns so clean there is no sooty carbon build up.
Try ground coffee. This was our go to advice for truckers who just hauled bagged fish meal in their vans or some other smelly product and were complaining about the smell left behind.
That is what the flight attendants use to get rid of the smell after a kid barfs everywhere on the plane. Learned that the hard way.
Some 'diesel' stoves have a switch that changes the combustion between diesel and kerosene -- they are close, but apparently the high tech stoves can tell the difference. I had a Toyo with that feature. Not sure about Wallas.
