Abstract
A combustion type heater of this invention includes fuel distribution means for distributing a fuel to the whole surface of a wick disposed upstream of the wick in a fuel passage. The fuel distribution means comprises fuel distribution grooves and a fuel dispersion plate having a large number of holes bored therein. The fuel distribution means can quickly supply the fuel to the whole surface of the wick. To shorten the heating time of the wick, the heater of the present invention uses a wick heating glow plug outside an ignition glow plug or a planar heater for heating the wick.
