Ralph,  I might be wrong but I thought he was referring to what I described 
as a "kerosun" type heater.   A heater with a wick and a fuel basin below 
it.

Ron, I'm not sure what type heater you mean (siphon type). My reddy
heater has a pump , nozzle and fan and its the one I burn winter diesel
in. You can see and hear it at work here in this video..

I notice a little smoke at start up but after that nothing but hot air.
