Brass and diesel
Am looking at putting in a diesel heater. Are brass fittings compatible with diesel?

I used brass. No issues. Out of curiosity, where are you installing the unit?

Have not decided yet. Am hoping to put it where the existing propane heater is located. Been to busy to measure the space.

Brass fittings have been used in all industries before the turn of the century especially the marine & automotive industry.

Use the proper thread sealant for the fuel you will be burning
