Instructions:
1. Cut the sheet metal to the following dimensions:
* 2 pieces 8" x 10"
* 2 pieces 8" x 6"
* 2 pieces 6" x 6"
* 1 piece 4" x 4"
2. Rivet the pieces of sheet metal together to form a box. The 8" x 10" pieces should form the front and back of the box, the 8" x 6" pieces should form the sides, the 6" x 6" pieces should form the top and bottom, and the 4" x 4" piece should form the lid.
3. Drill a 1/4-inch hole in the bottom of the box for the fuel inlet.
4. Drill a 1/4-inch hole in the top of the box for the fuel outlet.
5. Drill a 1/2-inch hole in the side of the box for the blower motor.
6. Drill a 1/2-inch hole in the side of the box for the exhaust pipe.
7. Drill a 1/4-inch hole in the side of the box for the thermocouple.
8. Mount the fuel pump, blower motor, and spark plug in the appropriate holes.
9. Connect the fuel inlet to the fuel tank and the fuel outlet to the heater.
10. Connect the blower motor to the battery.
11. Connect the spark plug to the battery.
12. Mount the thermocouple in the hole in the side of the box.
13. Connect the thermocouple to the temperature controller.
14. Turn on the temperature controller.
15. The heater will start to heat up. Once it reaches the desired temperature, the temperature controller will turn off the blower motor and the spark plug.
