Abstract

A dual fuel heating source can have a fuel selector valve for selecting between a first fuel and a second fuel different from the first. The dual fuel heating source may selectively have a regulator unit, and an outlet valve. The regulator unit can be configured to regulate the pressure of two different fuels. The outlet valve can be connected to the fuel selector valve such that selecting a fuel can determine the path fuel will flow through the outlet valve and also out of the heating source.
