Just a few tips for you:
Regarding the fuel pump:
1. wrap it carefully with some heat resistant insulation. This will reduce the pump noise and more importantly provide some additional fire safety should the electrical connection at the pump short and heat up.
2. when securing the fuel pump, place a thick rubber gasket (half inch) between the pump and the affixing structure (you will also need a longer screw). This will minimise any vibration from the fuel pump.
Regarding the fuel tank:
3. Take the time to calculate the volume of fuel your new tank has and make markings on the exterior of the tank with a permanent marker so you will know how much fuel you have left at a glance. Then over a weekend trip you can get a rough estimte on the fuel consumption of the heater.
4. I suggest you never fill the tank more than 90%. If necessary keep a seperate filler tank (smaller) on the side. You seem to have one already.
5. Keep a small plastic white/ transluscent drip tray under the fuel tank with some coloured powder in it. If the fuel tank ever leaks, the coloured power will turn to a paste like consistency and ill easily let you know that there is a leak.
Regarding the floor penetrating turret:
6. Apply some waterproffing sealant just to be safe. Yo do not want condensation getting inside or along the access perimeter.
7. Finally, I STRONGLY recommend you place a carbon monoxide (CO) detector along the bottom of the van structure. The last thing you want is have a dreadful accident. 20 quid or so from B&Q.
Apolosie if this is a tad long. Hope its helpful.
100% install a smoke and CO detector.
What about preventing the white fuel line transferring the clicking and tapping on surfaces, any tips there?
Thanks,
Sharky
The more detail the better, great videos, will surely watch them again when one day I will convert a van of my own.
Great extra tips. Thank you :)
Excellent advice
Probably the clearest most comprehensive install video I've seen and I've seen a lot lol
Thank you Paul. This is by far the most helpful video I have seen on how to install a diesel heater.
paul you have saved my life!!!! pop off paul!!!
Regarding the clicking fuel solenoid: That solenoid is so light all you need do is suspend it in mid air by hanging it from the electrical wires. Just clip the wires to the underside of a wood support and let it hang!! Coil the fuel line up and suspend it too if you can!! Tape it all together even!! Why have the pump secured to anything? That’s just asking for noise!! Just build an insulated box around it to deaden the noise!! Excellent Excellent video by the way!! You are puttin out great info!!
Another good tip. Thanks :)
Your style of presentation is brilliant, whether demonstrating wild camping videos or these van conversion episodes. Your wife us a lucky lady if you are this calm in dealing with all aspects of life. Your example helps me to tackle the minefield of everyday living and has inspired me to get out there and appreciate the wonders of nature. Thank you.
The most informative camper-van heater video I've seen - Thanks Paul
Finally the man has a decent place to camp in ;) One of those heaters saved my balls last winter in my campervan.
Paul just a tip. Move the exhaust to the back of the van and fresh air to the front, avoids pulling any of the exhaust gases back in 👍
Only relevant if running it with engine running. Not much need for that.
What about the exhaust gases from the heater? That is what I was referring too 👍
@@LeakyD i may be wrong but the air intake is for the burn chamber i think the air in the van passes through a different intake inside the van
@@daz.j correct
And use red diesel I do loads cheaper.
I have seen a video a while back about the noisy fuel pump and this guy suspends it with zip ties so its not touching any surfaces and the noise nearly Disappeared, very well put together video Paul👍
the electrical wire/tape combo to get that connector on is genius!! i would have been there for ages trying to joggle it around to fit
Your doing a cracking job Paul loving these videos ,ps must keep Jo warm.
Best diesel heater install I be seen yet. Very professional. Thank you.
I've been living in and building self-sufficient vans for 45 years and all I can say is this guy ain't bad.
We don’t own a van, and we’ve sold our RV (caravan to you British folks.) But, I always enjoy your videos.
I was worried about how I’m going to get that little piece into the tank… BRILLIANT!!!!
Hi paul im a parcel courier and recently bought a new van leaving my 65plate pug boxer sitting doing nothing.
So decided to convert it and copying you so please dont screw it up lol keep up the good work and no pressure pal
Superb comprehensive video, the best I've seen amongst 100s 👏 I didnt want it to end 😂 Explains so much about how these heaters work. Have one on my campervan...currently with E.08 fault which shuts it down after 10 mins - hopefully it'll be an airlock in a pipe. Almost brand new so dont think its a coked up chamber 👍
Great appreciate the detail as the instructions on these heaters are so vague 👍🏼
When I was installing mine, I was looking for a detailed video just like this. I'm sure many people will appreciate the detail. Enjoying the uploads keep up the great content :)
Great video. When you started drill out hole in the van floor my wife was putting a pillow cover her face . Think she was watching horror movie lol. I was thinking hope you check right first 😂😂. 👍🎥
I tip my cap to Paul, vantastic video(sorry for the pun). Your starting to make it look easy. It must be very rewarding knowing you did it yourself. 👍
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou Paul!! I've spent hours and hours searching for a video to clearly explain how to install my Chinese diesel heater and nobody explains the whole process as well as you do!! I now know that I need to buy a turrat plate and some of that black rubber sheathing for the fuel pipe. My heater didn't come with that. I can't tell you how much better I feel about tackling this job now! You're a complete gem!
Really enjoy your videos.
With the money you've saved on this heater please buy a carbon monoxide alarm..
I don't usually leave many comments but Very good video explained extremely well👍 peace love and harmony to all🙏😎💚
best vid on youtube by far of instalation chinese diesil heater
Paul couldn't find an instructional video about how to instal a chinese diesel heater, so he just made one himself. And you can't make a better instructional video about installing a chinese diesel heater than this, in my opinion. Awesome job, Paul. You remember to explain all the little details, and your camera work is brilliant. I was thinking that that little o-ring or rubber washer at the bottom of the diesel fuel tank couldn't possibly stop if from leaking.
I have a few of those three litres mason jar drink dispensers with wire handles (got them cheap). I took a 10 litres plastic rectangular see-through bucket with a lid on and hung it on the wall for gravity fed running water. I attached a spigot from one of the mason jar water dispensers to the bottom of it in the front, and voila - running water. And it doesn't leak. The design for keeping it tight is much better than on that fuel tank. And this is for water. They need to fix that design. People can't be driving around with leaking fuel tanks inside their vans.
That’s why I upgraded to the stand pipe tank. There’s no hole at the bottom for any leaks. The o rings are very fragile.
@@PaulMessner - Exactly. Everyone who owns one of these should do the same thing.
This was an excellent video. I'm definitely getting the turret. Thanks
This is the best video out there and thanks a mill for taking the time to make it great install.
Excellent, and detailed instructional video👍🏽👍🏽
Pretty good video on this. Saved me a ton of work. Thanks.
Great job Paul!..but where's the tea maiden?..not a video without her!
Great video that mate answered all the questions I was asking myself so thank you
You could use red diesel Paul as it is for heating only, bit cheaper
Nice video, easy to follow. Im installing one over the next few days. Thankyou
Nice! 👍 well done!
Mr Paul, thank you for this vidéo.
Excellent video. Just what I was looking for. Thanks
Absolutely love your videos, brilliant job and well explained. Thank you!
Going into detail like this is exactly what I needed. Thank you.
Really informative video. Thanks for documenting this, and continuing success with the van build.
Great stuff as always Paul! 👏 I can't wait for the next one.
My Sunday night has just got a lot better
There is a lot of good brains watching this van build with some excellent tips for anyone about to do their own. All good to see.Cheers Steve.
Love all your videos Paul. Calm, knowledgeable and educational. Keep up the great work. 👍
You mentioned this video may have been long and I’m glad it was and you explained everything others didn’t. Great video brother, thank you! 🤘🏼
So manytips! The best one I've seen is hang pump through the included rubber bracket with tye wraps or similar . Seems the best return on noise abatement.
Great video Paul...simple to follow & in full detail. Thanks
Love the longer videos! Really enjoying this van build
Very well done Paul.Thank you for going into detail with this as it will be invaluable to me in the future when i start my own project. Most enjoyable . ATB

Evening Paul, I'd have to say this is the best diesel heater instalation vid on RUclips. I have just replaced the existing one in my van and your video answered a lot of questions for me, especially the hard fuel line connection. Beautifully explained.
Great job Paul, we love our diesel heater in our van, wouldn’t be without one now. You both will love it.
Really helpful. Thank you. The scariest part of this is drilling that giant hole through the floor.
Another informative and well presented video Paul. Please keep them coming.
Very nice detailed overview! Thank you for taking the time!
Videos not wordy at all. Straight to the point. Awesome stuff!
Definitely the best step by step video showing parts and every step . Thanks 💕
