Really wish VW let us have those in the US for our diesels. Webasto is the name here but really similar.
keep an eye on that exhaust pipe...they have a tendency to plug up with mud so its best to not allow it to hang past the belly pan....if it plugs then it could over fuel and catch on fire and burn the machine down...ask me how I know?..lol!!
@@Heckleburger Oh yeah we have Webasto here in Finland as well, probably a pretty universal thing.
@@Heckleburger Eberspacher is Espar in North America
is that your shed?
I found the Scandinavian version of andrew camarata, this is a good day
*metric version :D
Lots of warm weather dwellers in the comments. The heater pre heats the engine and cab in the morning before work begins. The engine is easier to start with less wear and the cab warm and cozy.
Thats the most frozen excavator ive ever seen, the contrast of all the frost when you pull it into the shop is pretty intense. I'm sure the motor really appreciates being warmed up to 150 before starting.
you mean 90c? 150c is a little to hot for a engine. this is in europe, so, metric
150°F is 65°C, as it was in the video. ;) (Why don't we all use kelvin... 338.15K :D )
This is the reason why heaters are popular in Sweden.
Saves the engine, saves gasoline, warm car in the morning and no ice on the windows 😀👍🏻
@@petter5721 A study conducted in Finland found that fuel heaters like this don't save fuel at all, even in freezing temperatures it's a massive net negative.
Electric heaters also don't really lower fuel consumption. Heaters are purely for saving the engine and for comfort.
@@TopiasSalakka 0,26 l/hour massive :)
Nothing better than getting into a cab that has warmed up before you start. You also don't have to waste time, clearing the frost or snow of your cab. Nice and tidy job. 👍
dude you have a killer shop, really cool equipment and you know what your doing. your channel is going to really take off this year !! happy new years
Fully agree
i have to agree aswell. you are really doing well and the production is really strong all around, though here i wouldve liked a bit more explanation with what it does and why exactly you needed it and maybe some insight into where this comes in handy in your everyday job or current project...
I fully agree!
@@SubculturalMoKa I also agree.
Wont take long for the algorythm to pick him up if he uploads regularly. A couple of months and he will be doing really good.
Nice job. Those small diesel heaters are a real life saver. Makes working those extra hours in the cold more tolerable. Thanks for sharing M.
I have been doing that same insert and twist solder technique for 30 years it works great and resists breakage etc, nice work.
Very nice installation indeed. Really appreciate the soldered wire connections. In theory they should be more prone to failures due to vibration than crimped joints - but in practice (at least when supported by proper heat-shrink) they just work. I do the same when I want something to work reliably in nasty conditions.
I love the sound of an Eber or Webasto starting up! It's like a tiny jet engine carrying a promise of hope, warmth and comfort into the bitterly cold and usually pitch-black arctic winter.
Yeah I dont buy the whole crimps over soldered joints with (adhesive lined marine 3x wall heat shrink) argument.
I have seem way to many failed crimped connections... many factory installed, most poorly installed DIY and correctly installed professionally installed.
I have yet to see any soldered connections with marine triple wall adhesive lined heat shrink fail, ever
My Buddy's family has a salt water boat I rewired in the 90's and none of the wiring has ever failed or given them any trouble, the boat was only 15y/o when I rewired it b/c most of the factory connections had major issues. This boat lives in Salt water and only comes out once a year to get cleaned below the water line nd/or get the bottom painted.
I've just found you on here, I've binge watched a load of your videos ! You're an amazingly competent engineer and your inate fabricating skills are excellent! 👌Keep it up, great stuff to watch👍
The quality of your content is comparable to Andrew Camarata's content. Thank you for the great entertainment and I think your channel is going to grow very fast.
Nah!! this is much better than Camarata.
I was about to comment that he was Swedish Camarata
Camarata with less chainsaws and sledgehammers as a solution :D
My thoughts exactly except no blue pup and chainsaw installations
Always nice finding new creators for mechanic work
Wow, a very big thumbs up for installing the heater and !! cleaning your equipment to do the job complete. This is a way to keep up the value of your equipment and a 99% difference to a lot of other RUclipsrs out there who also repair or install things to their equipment. The only other RUclips guy who does it your way is Let’s Dig 18. Keep up your way in doing things.👍🇩🇪😎🙋🏻♂️
Very nice device to have in cold climates. I know here in the US we use a headbolt heater and you have to plug it into electricity. That's a far better way of doing the same task. Thanks for showing us that. Happy New Year
In Sweden it is very common to have electric and gasoline heater on cars, you plug it in if you have access to the grid, if not the gasolin (or diesel) heater is used. Just set a timer in the app on your phone.
Great way to save fuel and stay warm.
Another Great Video! Thanks for letting us watch you install your engine heater.
I keep reading comparism to Andrew Camarata... But thats not the case. This duse here actually cares for his equipment and does not abuse it
It looks like an installation from the factory. Great shot with that firework too!
Thanks Jim!
I enjoyed this video. Just found your channel and watching "old" stuff. I have only been to Sweden once. It was a very memorable experience. I would enjoy taking a work vacation to come be an equipment operator for you. Normal tourist stuff is boring to me. Wish google translate was a thing back then.
Cool video. Very interesting to watch how that was done and especially since you actually do darn good with English! Thanks
I've operated the TB295 and also theTB295W (Rubber Duck) Awesome little Machines. Love the Heater you fitted, getting into a nice warm cozy Machine first thing is a nice touch. I've been operating 360's in the UK for over 28 years and still love it. I can see you're a good operator. I have video's of me operating 360's on my Channel, from 8ton upto 50ton Long Reach Machines
yes the heater will help reduce engine wear not having to start ffrom cold. but please remember the engine oil is not as warm as the oil sump gets no heat from the coolant circulation.
Thanks for the video M. Bjoernstroem, helps a lot!
Golden hands and a bright mind!
use liquid dish soap to put hoses on... slips right on and sticks once dry. It works very well.
Just a couple "armchair engineer" comments. Hard to tell how close the heater is mounted to the muffler, I would be concerned about the heater getting constant exposure to high ambient heat cycles on one side. Maybe put a thermal blanket between heater and muffler? Next, the way the heater bracket is installed with that long arm will fatigue the bracket due to vibration, you may want to keep an eye on it in case it ever starts cracking. And lastly, solder connections are not ideal for mobile equipment applications since vibration will break a solder connection over time. Professional crimp methods (not using the junk insulated crimps) are generally superior for reliability. With that aside, professionally done and it looks like a very well-kept machine for having around 5000 hrs on it!
Just found your channel, you've got a sub from me. I like your approach with working on stuff, everything comes out nice and you do it right and don't rush it. Looking forward to more videos, maybe you can talk a little bit more about what you do and your shop too. Hope you have a great 2023!
Nice job. Some washing up detergent helps when fitting rubber hose onto fittings.
Heat from the exhaust muffler can degrade the plastics in the pump. I think thermal protection should be added between the two parties
Isn't the plastic on the pump already heated by the heater?
I was thinking the same thing, excavator exhaust systems get very hot
Thats a class act right there.. wish I had it on my truck here in alaska... I have twelve feet of snow right now
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
I like your content, and it helps that you are easy to look at. great job!
My opinion ... your videos are similar to a very popular blogger in the US named Andrew Camarata. Andrew is a RUclips star with millions of viewers. Keep up the good work as I think you could generate many viewers here in the US.
Best of luck as we start the new year.
Greg
No he is FAR more careful and considered than Andrew C !
Sure he is, I don’t like to critique people but honestly Andrew is very sloppy, Andrew Camarata is no match for this guy, this is way superior, very intelligent and right tools and room for improvement
Brilliant installation, you know your stuff, very impressive. 👌👍👍
Awesome video! Cool shop, awesome skills and humour, exactly my style. Keep it up! What were the other features of the heater you decided not using? (The cables you isolated and tied together)
There's nothing like getting into a warm cab on a cold day. Happy new yr to you.
AND knowing your cold-start isn't killing your diesel engine!
Nice quality work👍
Excellent video......I have 2 Chinese diesel heaters heating my workshop and used then regularly with no problems.....a lot cheaper than the Eberscpacher....Webasto diesel heaters.....HappyNew Year for 2023...🏴
did you find chinese heater for water or are they just for hot air?
Tjusigt, riktigt roligt att kunna följa med och lycka till med 2023!
Just found your channel. Wow. Watched this and a couple more. Just getting through the rock crusher marathon. Videos like this mate and your channel is going to explode. Will be sharing with all the metal munchers I know. Thank you. 🏴
Thanks!
Looks like real winter out there !!! LOL🥸🥸🥸
Incredible videos mate!! Subscribed❤
Happy New Year!
Awesome work, enjoyed all your videos keep em coming🍻Cheers
Happy new year Stephen, Thanks!
From own experience I recommend a CTEK battery charger so that your starter battery is not emptied. If you have 230 V at hand at your parking lot. Other possibilty is an extra Battery and a loading diode splitter.
Keep up the good work, congratulations.
Regards
the whole point to a diesel-poowered heater is that you can preheat your excavator in remote locations, where electricity isn't readily available.
If he had a parking lot with 230 V at his disposal he'd have installed a electric heater.
CTEK is actually a Swedish company 😀
Tusen takk for god underholdning 👍🤗👍
Excellent vid as usual! Personally i would have installed the timer under the left yoke towards the floor, that way i dont have to enter the cab to set the timer! But ive only operated 20+ ton excavators, and then its quite handy! 😃
Can’t wait to see when your channel is going to explode. Just keep doing what you are doing mate.
Great video. Get yourself some parallels for your mill vise. It will make sure the work piece isn’t sitting at an angle when machining.
5k views in 2 hours. looks like you are a youtuber now :) Good stuff, and good content! Cant wait for the next one.
Very interesting video. It is nice seeing you build up your equipment and business. FYI, welding flash is not entertainment, however it could be a liability. Take care and looking forward to seeing more. We also like the fact that you do not have to have your face stuck in the camera lens as a lot of new sites do.
Happy New Year From Canada GREAT FIREWORK
Happy new year Gary!
Really good videos you definitely know what you are doing what do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking and also please upload more often
Great Video, earned a subscriber here! Happy new year from Northern Alberta!
Thanks Zac, Happy new year!
Frohes Neues Jahr 👋 .
Danke für das tolle Video
You do nice work! When hoses are stretched over a nipple larger than they are designed for, they tend to crack after a while. Nipples are available to make your own adapters for different size hoses.
NICE JOB, THAT’S A QUALITY HEATER. YOU’RE NEVER GOING TO WANT TO GET OUT OF THAT MACHINE ‼️‼️. Vinny 🇺🇸
Jävligt bra och intressanta videos du lägger upp! Har sett alla nu på ett par dagar! Blev en högt rankad kanal hos mig! God fortsättning! Ser fram emot nya videos! Hälsningar Danne på Gotland
Tack Danne, roligt att det uppskattas! God fortsättning
I just bought a cheap 2kw heater from Vevor for my shed to make it a useable space instead of a dump for my junk.
Cost me only 105€ and I calculated that an electric heater would be ~2,3x as expensive as diesel!
So its well worth to install a diesel heater vs using electric heater which are much simpler and easier.
Nice work, great videos, happy new year from Ireland 👍
i have one of these heaters in my semi truck and it works really good very hot
Complimenti lavori sempre molto bene. Questo canale merita un milione di iscritti...e ci arriverai sicuramente. Ciao grazie 👍💪🌟
For faster clearing of light powdery snow, try a leaf blower.:)
0:12 what a nice light! 👀👀👏🏻👏🏻
Något jag också har funderat på, tack för du delar med dig och bra blev det också. Måste också säga att din verkstad är riktigt rymlig och du har bra verktyg att arbeta med👍
I like your videos so much - nice technical chanel . Good luck from Poland.
good job i think the foam is to keep the fuel from getting cold i have a bunk in my that runs on the same system
Great video again. Whatever you are doing keep doing it.
Fin Lovikkavante på micken😁
Great content
Nice job friend i love to watch your videos. Pretty relaxing💪
Thanks Riki!
Luktar Pajala😁 med Lovikka vante på peltors, skog ser nästan bekant ut. Härlig video, keep em coming.
So it heats the cab and raises coolant temp also serving as a block heater. That will be nice!
I have an Espar in my Sprinter installed from the factory it just pre heats the engine I plumbed it to also run an aux heater until the temp gets up...they are good units some problems with people running bio diesel fuel, so I use diesel additives which keep it running clean
i fitted one to my old ford ranger but the water version so it was always hot before i even turned the key. The heater are hot right away too.
Använder du snö som extra isolering eller vad gör du i slutet? Bra och intressant video! 👍
Also happy new year to you mate 👍 your channel will definitely grow like mad this year soon have that scania vabis V8 super 👌
Bästa kanalen på hela tuben! Du, Vice grip garage och Camarata är något extra.
Tack för komplimangen!
A lot of lazy people like me are watching you with great pleasure! Well done! Thank you!
Thank you,right on target
The only thing I did differently to you was the exhaust from the heater I plumed in to the silencer on the machine just made sure I had inch with the flow of exhaust to stop and back pressure to the heater works well too
I wonder if a front mount arm machine like that would have better side tip reach than a mid frame mount. I run a case cx75sr mulching roadside and it gets pretty tippy reaching over side banks. Are the front mounts better because the leverage point with the whole frame behind. The mid mount almost seems to lift the far track while one of these would have to pivot on the inside track in order to lift the outer? Anyone have experience with both in the same size category?
Even with electric block heaters we would not try to start equipment at less than -10F (-12C). It would take so long to warm the hydraulics and the rest of the machine you would be wasting half your day and perhaps doing damage to the machine. Nice install.
Love the closing shot! Why pile up snow on the house? Insulation?
Very interesting video !!! And Happy new year !!!! M Bjoemstroem
Happy new year Alban!
Great content. I just subscribed.
Usually the fan starts only when the whole cooling circuit has got 80 degrees C, it heats up the motor before the cabin, usually the standard method of operation.
Why you dont use the return fuel hose is you drain the filter/pump if you leave the heater on without the engine running. So you will have a really bad cold day in the future if you forget to turn on your machine.
I have a camper van it’s quite well insulated inside, it’s like a sauna when I turn it on. Cost me £89
Stort grattis och god fortsättning!! Snyggt jobbat med diesel värmaren! Hoppas att batteriet håller skapligt för dig! Jaså du tar paus i jetski åkandet när snön blir för djup! 🤣🎉🎇
Tack Peter, detsamma! Jo den driver lite dåligt i snön haha.
Hopefully you dont run into issues with that fuel supply. That is not ok without additional supply tank filled from the return line.
Is you interior fan now running full speed or are you supplying the speed control from the relay?
:) 10mm plate heavy duty.. Well done :)
Nice video and very nice installation.
Is that your own workshop or a workplace one? I dream of having a workshop that well equipped.
What is the purpose of piling the snow against the building? My only thought was that it might be to stop wind from circulating under the floor.
Snow is a good insulator
Hi, what do you do for a living? your work shop is fantastic, very clean and organized. Your vids are really great and knowledge.
You happen to follow andrew camarata by any chance? 😂 Just found your channel and allready can see that you put alot of effort on these 👏🏼 I have a channel of my own, but I do only in finnish at the moment. Been wondering though that should I try to speak them in english.
Good Stuff
Gott Nytt År och God fortsättning på det nya året
Tack detsamma!
I hope it turns out better than the wood fired pizza oven installed in the Hindenburg.
Diesel heaters cannot do without.
How it’s going to get diesel from return line if the engine is not running? Return line is not picking it deep enough from tank.
Very nice
Piling snow around the house foundation for extra insulation? Never seen that before.
Snow is a good insulator against frost until it starts melting the wrong direction.
