I went out to turn the heat on with my portable Buddy heater and nothing went right..Hard to start/slight smell,it just wasn't working right..So I soap tested all the fittings and notta..Slept on it and read about it and it came down to the stupid filter on the heater must have been plugged..I took the filter off and it worked like it is supposed to and my hose is rated for that heater..Don't know why I put that filter on it...
My recommendation is do not put a propane filter on the Buddy heater,get the hose instead that does not require one...
Right after I put the filter on it worked great,months later,not so much..
