I sent the fuel flow data to Velit. (23 ml in one minute)

They promptly answered and said fuel flow was within spec. They have a new firmware upgrade currently being tested in Colorado. When that...

Mine did not work properly at 10,000 ft. The good news is even running massively rich and creating a lot of carbon the burner was clear. The heat exchanger choked up.

I am supposed to run the fuel...

Thanks for your comments. Agree the blow out is temporary. When I take it apart I will replace the burner assembly.

I want this to work as much or more than anyone as I have a use for it.

Turn it on at 5AM. Turn it off or it turns itself off in temp mode at 8AM. Two weeks of that at 10,000ft and there are major...

Four weeks, mornings only, was the intention.

Let us know if you do that.

It should be able to handle four weeks in freezing conditions. How did they get through a test at 16,000ft?

Either my furnace is an anomaly or they never tested it for four weeks straight at 10,000ft.

Considering the large quantity of carbon it can create my bet is they didn’t test it properly.

Runs just the fan on high, quits, then lights.

Furnace working fine. I can live with blowing it out every two weeks but I expected better.

Webasto will last less than a week at 10,000ft. (They say it will fail above 5000ft, and it does)

Yes, kept the Webasto muffler.

Worked fine last night. Still blowing heat this morning.

How is your furnace working at what altitude?

High altitude and low heat output is suicide for most gasoline heaters. So far it has not been a problem with the Velit.

My previous gasoline furnace would be a ball of carbon by now. This one is running perfectly with four weeks to go before we move to lower altitudes. Should be a pretty good test.

Correct! The book says 14000 BTU. Way too much. The power level menu works so all is well. Power draw is listed as 20-40 watts. I’m measuring less than that, less than 1 amp at 12 volts. Amazing.

If it will do that for six weeks all will be well. It just purrs along with no on or off.
