Is the fuel tank removable? If so, can I leave the heater running while I refuel the tank.

Fuel tank is removable. However i have never tried refueling while it was lit i don't see any reason why u couldn't.

Yes the tank is removable. They say not to remove it while it is lit for safety reasons. But you ask if you can and yes you can. It will stay lit, there is a reservoir in it. Not saying you should but it is possible.

You can remove the tank but the heater has a safety that will shut the heater off. That's one drawback with the Heatmate. A better choice is the KeroWorld KW-12. It has same Btu output as the Heatmate. The KW-12 holds little over a gallon and lasts 14-16 hours per tank.

The fuel tank is removable. I'm not sure about leaving the heater running as I never did that.

Fuel tank is removable....but you can't remove it while it is still running or burning. That will cause is to go out . I tried and that is what happened. Looks like it is a safety feature. As soon as you pull up on the fuel tank the burner automatically goes out. Hope this helps. I love mine..found out if you light it and put it right on low ...it will take longer for the globe to turn red but really eliminates most of the start up odor.

YES While it is on. Not officially of course. Many of these safety 'features' are there to prevent dumb accidents / fires.HOW: There is a small lever at the bottom of the tank housing area that is pressed down when the tank is in place.Just tape it down with a bit of painter's tape.Keeps on heating while you change tank.I also do this to do my monthly Dry burn down of the wick. See Pg. 10 of your manual

Yes, you remove tank to fill it. Don't know about leaving it running, I wouldn't try it. I'm sure instructions say don't do that.

Yes. The fuel tank is removable. You must remove it to fill it. You are advised by the company not to remove the tank will it is running. Personally, i always left it running. You just need to be careful.

no, but I found none that were. It holds the heat quite well, even in cold temps (20 deg. F). I've run it continuously on one 20 lb. gas canister for a total of 15 hours and still have gas in the tank.

No, the hose connector screws onto the same place that the little tank attaches on the heater. Hope this helps!

Hi, there is a door that snaps shut for you to gain entrance into the inside of unit so you can change the propane tank. It's a great unit very stylish and throws off a lot of heat.

All parts are easily accessible through the front flush control panel. I was able to easily remove everything through that opening. The only reason to remove the tank would be if somehow you put a screw or nail through it during construction - so just be careful there.

Yes. While the engine is running, shut off the fuel supply line and wait until the engine dies. That will clear the engine of fuel. Then disconnect the fuel line at the carburetor and drain the tank into a bucket or gas can. Sorry it took so long to reply. I was out of town. If you are draining your unit for storage, it is safe to put a fuel stabilizer in the fuel and store it still in a well ventilated place. If you are shipping it then the purge method above is ideal. I have also found this generator runs better on ethanol free fuel. It stays tuned longer and runs cooler.

A good way to remove gas is to use a siphon pump like that used for filling kerosine heaters. Then run the engine until it runs out of the remaining fuel that will clear the line and carburator. I would store it dry for long term with no use.

Yes the heater can be turned off or on during the run cycle without unplugging it. Heater is activated by pushing the center button. A light around the button indicates when it is on or off.

Yes it can be removed. It is not attached. It is just wedged in. It's made of styrophome - like a cheap cooler. We love the tank though.

The flame can be adjusted once lit. You do not have to remove the tank...there is a dial to turn it off or adjust.

yes you can put it out by taking the burner wick off for a min. it will cool down then. I usually just turn upside down and tap it on my leg and the burner will pop off without take unit out of the bag. It takes about 2oz of fluid to fill. I use mine everyday at work when its cold and might use 2 of the big bottles of fluid each winter. I like mine and have 2, one camo and one chrome plated. I keep it in my chest pocket to heat my body core.

Danielle,There is no problem leaving the heater on all the time as long a you have mounted it as per instructions. The Heater is completely safe as long as it is mounted properly

No. All it has is the mechanical gauge on the gas cap. You would have to cut it out manually. But it's a great tank.

I turn the tank off first then close the burners. This way you allow the propane in the hoses to burn off. I disconnect the tank (20 lb) and store it upright in a bin of my motorhome.

I believe you should always turn off the gas at the propane tank, and letting the heater burn off the gas in the line, so as not to turn the Plasticizer in the hose into gunk, which would clog up your heater

The fuel tank is an excellent power supply, it even has an AC (9 or 12) volt output. I definitely recommend it.

Hi, no it is not removable. It's easy to fill, I fill the pot with water and pour it into the reservoir. Love the coffee maker, I'm pleasantly surprised how long it stays hot in the pot.
