A heater assembly for use with one of a first fuel type or a second fuel type different than the first, the heater assembly comprising:
- a housing comprising:
- a first fuel hook-up for connecting a first fuel type to the heater assembly;
- a second hook-up for connecting a second fuel type to the heater assembly;
- a first outlet in fluid communication with both the first and second fuel hook-ups;
- a first inlet;
- a second inlet;
- a second outlet;
- a third outlet;
- and
- a fourth outlet
- a first actuation member having an end located within the first fuel hook-up and having a first actuation member first position and a second position, the actuation member configured such that connecting a fuel source to the heater assembly at the first fuel hook-up moves the actuation member from the first actuation member first position to the second position,
- wherein in the first actuation member first position, fuel flow through the first fuel hook-up and between the second inlet and fourth outlet is prevented and in the first actuation member second position, fuel flow through the first fuel hook-up and between the second inlet and fourth outlet is permitted;
- a second actuation member having an end located within the second fuel hook-up and having a first position and a second position, the actuation member configured such that connecting a fuel source to the heater assembly at the second fuel hook-up moves the actuation member from the first position to the second position,
- wherein in the second actuation member first position, fuel flow through the second fuel hook-up and between the first inlet and the third outlet is prevented and in the second actuation member second position, fuel flow through the second fuel hook-up and between the first inlet and the third outlet is permitted.
