Hello, just bought a Dewalt DXH185KTHC heater. It’s getting spark and fuel but it won’t ignite the fuel to actually heat. I’ve adjusted the air pressure screw with the gauge on the back. Drained the good diesel and replaced it with fresh kerosene and still nothing. I can watch the fuel spray out and spark just flickers around in the fuel spray and doesn’t actually ignite it to heat up. I’m at a loss and about ready to just return it.

Good question.  Not sure.  We had the same heater and it was awesome, never had a problem so not sure how to solve your problem.
