I have a master kerosene torpedo heater. It stopped working, i opened it up, powered it on the fan spins and the piolet flame is on. I noticed the fuel line and this other line that leads to a back air gauge. Both lines were cracked. I replaced the lines. Now when i turn the heater on
It just blows smoke clouds out the front. Anyone know whats wrong ?

How old is the fuel?

There was old fuel in there and then i mixed some new fuel with it

There is a pilot? Is it a old heater or something? Most use electric spark and glow plug?

I would check for a clog in the line. Maybe where it sprays/ injects the diesel into the flame. I repaired a dewalt one for my inlaws. Those rubber fuel lines are absolute garbage...

Don't know if its a piolet, but we took off the top cover. Turned it on and saw a little flame lit inside there.

you need to get the rotten fuel out. mixing just makes it all bad. check the tank fuel filter and foam air filter on the back of the fan
the ignition module might have died from age. theyre about $45 on ebay/amazon for a new one. if it runs, dies, then fireballs, its probably the ignition
