Yes it has to be diesel. I like diesel. Diesel can sit in the heaters fuel tank all summer and be good to go for next winter.
Diesel has almost 0 evaporative emissions compared to gasoline.
Running a little space heater off a little generator is only going to net me around 3,000 to 4,000 BTUs per hour. I want more like 15,000 BTUs per hour.
On a typical cold night the heater demand is between 8,000 to 12,000 BTUs per hour.
Normally it's over 9,000.
If I'm running the defrost I can use all 17,000 BTUs per hour of diesel heat no problem.
