Default Diesel heater opinions wanted

I use an electric fuel pump from NAPA, and a fuel pressure regulator to
feed our Dickenson (it's a pot burner) - works ok.

But if you are looking for air circulation and quiet (!! very important,
if you are a live-aboard as I am), then I would highly recommend the Wallas.

Also, I asked one of the manufacturers and they do not know of a 12
volt pump that can supply the fuel at the proper pressure and
consistency of flow that the pressure tank can. They've been looking
because lots of people have asked.

Too bad because I like the looks of the heaters that used this system
better than the others. Evidently, the ones that use 12 volts have a
different kind of burner and atomization set up.
