Okay, so how come...

... we have Gas Stoves, and Dual Fuel Stoves, but don't see Diesel Stoves?

I was at the Kimberly Kamper website, and they have a diesel run heater as an option.

What with the prevalence of diesel vehicles being sold, and the need for carrying less of differing fuels, are we there yet?

Cheers

I'm gonna cook my unmodified bio food on my bio diesel stove, and sit bio big tree, and drink a bio wine Wolf

Probably because burning diesel is too smelly. Having a diesel truck is bad enough but having that diesel odour in ones tucker...yuk! Other fuels burn cleanly using the term cleanly loosely...if you get my drift....:o)

G'day Steve

As Trip Leader I had to make way for the others to come through and stopped in the deep spot on Canunda Beach. We were having a look at something and the beach proved a bit soft. I actually drove out in Low Range..no worries.... those Coopers with 15psi act like paddle wheels :o)

Lone,
I feel that I know you well enough to call you by your first name now.
As far as diesel space heaters go I have seen a few around in workshops. They fill the tank with anything that might burn and a bit of diesel and set light to it. It is great for a large area and burns slow. As far as a stove on diesel I think that it would have to be under pressure like the Dual fuel Stove to get enough heat to cook with and also to be able to adjust the flame. Now I know that for the diesel motor to work, in other word for the diesel fuel to explode and make the pistons go up and down it must have heat and pressure. The engine block can handle this because of the size and weight so I would think that if you wanted a 2 burner diesel stove it would be about 1/3 the size of any 6 cylinder diesel motor on the market to-day.

many years ago I had a pressure stove that worked on kero ,petrol and diesal. It want to bad smal about 4 kg single burner with 4 jets depending on what fuel the diesal jet also had a screen on it helping to atomise the fuel.
The reason I stopped using it......couldnt get parts.....take 15 minutes of hard pumping to pressure the main vessal and the need of metho to get the top plumping up to heat. It took about 30 minutes to get the damn stove up and running with cup of metho.

the other proplem was what ever you used your food tasted the same.
ever had nice tuna stew ala ULP spices........

what about one of these? MSA Stove
runs on almost anything. Not exactly the easiest thing to use compared to a gas stove.

We have a Webasto diesel heater in our caravan, it is about the size of a shoe box and puts out heat similar to a 240 volt 2400watt electrical blow heater, but ours allows us to be nice and warm anywhere at anytime. It uses about 1 litre of diesel in 8 hours and the fan uses about 2 amps.

haventseen any in oz but most of the fishing boats we have built for NZ hve specified diesel stoves and heaters and these need to be sourced from NZ or europe. companys like Eberspacher make them and they are very efficient and about the size of a shoebox
