Expert Advice

Mark Allen

Mark Allen says

This type of direct-fired space heater is used to warm large, well-ventilated workshop areas, bodyshops and fabrication spaces where rapid heat-up is needed. The AB1758 burns clean kerosene or diesel and produces around 50kW of heat, with airflow suitable for substantial working areas.

In a bodyshop, I would use it for general space heating during cold-weather repairs, particularly in larger bays where fixed heating is impractical. It needs a sound 230V supply, clean fuel and sufficient clearance around the air inlet and hot-air outlet. Because combustion gases enter the heated space, ventilation is essential, and it is not suitable for enclosed occupied areas without adequate air exchange.

A common issue with these heaters is poor starting or smoky running caused by contaminated fuel, restricted filters or incorrect pump pressure. Keeping the fuel clean and servicing the burner system prevents most avoidable faults. Used with the correct ventilation and maintenance routine, it is a dependable way to restore workable temperatures quickly.

FAQs

What fuel can the Sealey AB1758 use?
It is designed to run on paraffin, kerosene or diesel, giving workshops flexibility when arranging fuel supplies. Always use clean, suitable fuel and follow the current Sealey instructions for fuel selection and setup.
How much heat does the AB1758 produce?
The heater produces up to 175,000 Btu/hr, approximately 51.3kW, with airflow of around 630cfm. It is intended for heating large, ventilated open areas such as workshops, garages, warehouses and bodyshop spaces.
How long will it run on one tank?
A full tank provides approximately 8 to 14 hours of operation, depending on the fuel used and heat demand. Dealer specifications commonly quote about 9.5 hours at maximum output, so actual runtime will vary with thermostat cycling and operating conditions.
What electrical supply and safety features does it need?
The AB1758 uses a 230V single-phase supply and is fitted with a thermostat, digital room-temperature display in °C, safety cut-out and a protected compressor filter. As a direct-fired fuel heater it must only be used in a properly ventilated area, with exhaust gases kept away from people and enclosed occupied spaces.
