Requires periodic oil changes, including replacement of oil filter, fuel filter and air filter. In subsequent years, a diesel engine will require major mechanical servicing. This can be expensive in terms of downtime and the cost of parts and mechanics labour. |
A 3, 5, or 10 year PARTS & LABOUR warranty ensures that you will not have any unnecessary maintenance costs. |
Dependable |
Manufactured to Canadian and U.S.A. Military Standards. Each one is hand made and inspected by two professionals wtih total experience of over 35 years. |
Requires periodic oil changes, including replacement of oil filter, fuel filter and air filter and occasional major mechanical servicing. Engine will not turn over in cold conditions, leaving you without heat. Friction between moving parts will eventually cause the engine to seize. |
We currently have one of our Heaters running for 27 years straight, thanks to a platinum based catalytic mixture. |
