It's possible, but with the heater under constant fuel pressure; your heater could flood with fuel. 1991, Doha, Kuwait; the fire that wiped out 11 ACR's motorpool was started by a heater flooded and started the fire. It didn't help the heater was in an ammo carrier, stuffed back behind the ammo racks.

For safety sake, use a separate fuel pump that can be off when the heater isn't being used.

Fair enough, as far as pressure any low pressure fuel pump good enough?
