That says something about the importer, doesn't it?

I didn't ask why people buy. I am asking why people sell. Nothing wrong with stuff from china. Pretty sure the compliant stuff are from china.

Maybe they are. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Unibos-Fuel-liters-Certification-Types/dp/B0CWVGJ247

Using illegal container would invalidate.

I was trying to save £2 on an unmarked one, but splashed out for a marked one. It doesn't matter if it leaked, I am sure I can find a way to fix it with a tpu print. I just don't need any hassle with the regulation bull ox, what with house insurance invalidation etc.

Storage is allowed for a certain limit. The regulations says the can has to be marked as flammable. If they are selling unmarked ones, that seems to suggest marking isn't a legal requirement. But google says different: Legal Labelling Requirements To be legal, a portable petrol container must...

I am getting a petrol can and seeing plenty for sale that have no labels on them. I think it's a requirement for labelling/marking. Can anyone explain why non-compliant cans are allowed to be sold?

You risk catching fire though. I would never operate electrical devices remotely.

Just go get yourself some skiing long johns from decathlon and be done with it.

I use radiator in unheated room. So 50W won't do it. Being directly above 500W works OK with clothing most of the time. For weather at -5C, an 800W would be needed.

Higher capacity is better because you can turn it down. Whereas maxing out on low power leaves you fewer options. I find the little radiator quite handy. It's small enough to not get in the way, and it produces enough heat majority of the time. With the wear parts being cheap and standard, the...

I warm up through radiator and jump into bed. It's the same thing, and I don't need special preparation because I am usually at the computer + radiator before bed. The radiator warms me and my chair. It also warms my ears. If that isn't direct heating, I don't know what is. 100w gives you less...

All parts of me need warming and not just the bottom. I have a column of hot air rising around me.

Why would it be cheaper to run? All electric heaters are 100% efficient.

For soldering the thermal fuse, you could use solid core copper wires as heat sinks. Clamp compacted snake windings of copper wire on two sides of the fuse wire.

I use the small heater under my thigh while sitting. I suspect my pants would be on fire for a start. My skin should burn at 100C, which should activate a switch off action from brain. The 110C fuse should blow before 180C. The 90C thermal cut out thermostat should activate before 180C. The...

I have crimps. Even if I didn't I can use cut up spade connectors to use the crimping bits. Solder should work for relatively low temp stuff like this. The easy melt solder needs 180C.

Back in business and parts on way.

Yes, it's 110C. The unit has a manual thermostat, electrical thermostat, and then the fuse. Given the redundancies, it's probably just the fuse wearing out. Although it was a bit hot for a couple of days. I will get replacement fuse and thermostat. The manual thermostat seems ok because the...

My little plug-in oil radiator went down and I found the fault on the neutral line. There is this thingy that's gone open circuit. Can anyone tell me what is this thing and what purpose does it serve? Also, is there anything else that could cause it to blow other than normal wear? I have had the...
