SOURCE: what size propane tank do i need with a Mr. Heater

Rule of thumb is that you have 100,000 btu's per gallon of propane. This only translates into the length of time you have available in a tank of gas. The problem arises when you consume too much too fast. The gas can't produce enough vapor to continuously run and becomes dormant which is commonly known as "freezing up". You can use a typical (20 lb.)5 gallon propane tank (barbacue size), but it will more than likely freeze up in 2 - 3 hours of continous use. I'd suggest going to the next larger size a 30 lb. or 7.5 gallon size. The best way to work this system is to have two 5 gal. tanks so you can switch one out when it freezes and let it thaw while your using the spare.

My Mr. Heater keeps falling out of the cupholders in my golf cart. What can I do to keep it secure. My next door neighbor, a real DIY guy, has the same problem and we can't solve it.

This wil possibly be either an issue with the cup holder itself or the sprung mounting clips on the actual heater. Some cup holder slots are designed for larger 'Jumbo' cups so the hole is too big for the heater body to grip enough. Another reason could be the spring loaded "legs" on the heater base may be weak or faulty. All I can suggest is contact Mr Heater directly to see if they supply an adapter of some type.

Dear sirs; we have a mr heater mhvfb30lpt we need to know what is correct hose and regulator to connect to 5 gal propane tank

Since there are safety issues involved here, I suggest asking MR Heater Directly. It does not sound like you are switching from Natural Gas to propane (LP), but if you are be sure to ask them if any valves or vents must be changed internally. The different mixtures of O2 to gas frequently require SOME change in the system other than just the hose and supply type.

I tried the little buddy heater in my golf cart and as soon as I move the cart the heater goes out what can I do to stop this

This is not going to work in your golf cart. This is propane based heater with a pilot light. It will go out if you drive because of the wind blowing on it. I also believe all Mr. Heaters have a tip hazard turn off. I know the two I have do. If you really want heat in your cart I would recommend an extra battery, an inverter and a porcelain electric heater. Could be made to work very nicely in your cart.

When I press down and turn the know the pilot lights but as soon as you let up on the knob to turn it there is a click and the pilot light goes out.. This is on my Mr. Heater Big Buddy

When the pilot lights continue holding the button down for a full minute and then release. It should stay lit then to allow you to turn it to the on position. If the pilot will not stay lit after holding it for the full minute, then the thermocouple will need to be replaced.
Hope this helps.

I have a 98 golf gl that keeps cutting out when it heats up i want to know what relay it would be and where does it go.

When you say heats up do you mean between the cold and hot in the middle which is normal operating range or are you over heating and the temp safety system is doing what it is designed to do and shutting your engine down so you don't damage your engine. Check you water pump, Thermostat and radiator before you try pulling or bypassing that switch or you could ruin your vehicle beyond repair.

My heater keeps going out. full propane bottle , but it keeps shutting itsef off i have tried it both with 2 full cylinders , and a 20# bottle ,

look in back of the heater where the fuel nozzle goes. you will see a plate with a bunch of holes, the ignitor and the fan. also there is a little button with two wires on it. these wires connect to two spade terminals on the millivolt generator. its sensing bulb is near to the fuel nozzle. the other end with the gland nut goes into the main valve body. when the heater is on, the flame hits the millivolt generator and makes a very small DC voltage which goes through the little disk [an overload] then to the main valve solenoid. if the millivolt generator is good then there is a voltage at the main valve solenoid and it keeps the valve open. in your case it seems 1) the overload is open 2) the generator needs to be replaced. please go to desatech site and order a new generator.

No propane comes thourgh pilot on mr buddy heater

If the pilot will not light get a q-tip and alcohol and remove the wire grill and be sure the cotton doesn't come off the end of the stick wet the cotton with the alcohol and twist it and push it down into the pilot tube 2 full inches. Let the alcohol soak for 30 seconds and while twisting pull the q-tip out. Try this until the pilot lights.
