Some Chinese units allow you to set the fuel flow which is SMART!! Then you can adjust with a pump change for the altitude. Mine would not work at all at 7,000 and just give up. Once again, every time it gives up you've built up a ton of crap in the combustion chamber
Thanks for that altitude information Chasein70, but you burst my bubble. I was wondering if anyone made diesel water heaters also and found this vid about a Espar diesel boiler that heats glycol which is pumped to anything you want to heat including your hot water and cabin heat..

But I am reading they make a high altitude model and reports of people using them at 10,000'.
Pitkin Co, one of my favorite towns is at 9220′
