i love it!! i have burnt around 600 gallons through it with no problem at all, no smell once so ever other than outside when it first turns on which still is minimal , smells like a diesel truck , and no smoke comes out the chiminey just heat  i would recomend one to everyone, oil is easy to get, i put add on craigslist that i want it, and people tell me to come get it

a trucking company i do work for has one....it heats up their 15,000 sq foot facility. now they have to use fans to get the heat across the shop but still and its not hot in there but you know 50 ish
how much did that heater run? I use K-1 in my garage and anything has to be cheaper than that not to mention the smell.

Judging from the location of the spill, it looks like you forgot to install the oil sender?
