Similar heaters that use diesel have to routinely cope with the dye added to untaxed fuel, ditto similar heaters that use both fuels. Unless there was an excess of dye in the fuel you used the problem was probably a coincidence.
Dirt can be a big problem due to corrosion forming in the fuel tank caused by a relatively large percentage of moisture naturally in the fuel and the formation of condensation. Fuel is generally filtered through a fine gauze when the tank is filled but there is little or no filtration preventing dirt already in the tank from being picked up and finding a way into the spray head which generally jams the spinner affecting the quality of the fuel spray.
Cleaning the spinner and nozzle might work for a while but only a major clean out will restore reliability until the next time. It is also wise to check and adjust the pressure of the air pump.

This heater is made by Reddy Heater. There are certain problems they develope after running for some time and are very critical of the pump pressure. If it is wrong the unit will light sometimes and not others. I have a tip at this address http://www.fixya.com/support/r4124129-yearly_maintenance_reddy_heaters which explains in detail how to repair your unit and where to get the parts. Let me know if you need anymore help.
