Hi. I’m about to go into my to 3rd winter with a diesel heater heating my home. You’re right, it’s so much cheaper than conventional heating methods. I run mine on red diesel which I pay 75p a litre for. I followed a RUclips tutorial about tuning the heater to get maximum efficiency and last week took the heater apart expecting to clean soot and coke from the burn chamber. But because it is running so efficiently, it was as clean as a whistle.
I heated my bungalow all last winter for approximately £140 in diesel. Can’t beat that.
Good luck with your camper heater installation. 😀👍🏼
Hi! Thanks so much for sharing your experience. That's amazing that you've managed to heat your entire bungalow so efficiently using red diesel at 75p per litre! I’m really impressed with how clean your burn chamber was after tuning it for maximum efficiency-goes to show how well these heaters can perform when set up right. £140 to heat your home all winter is unbeatable! Thanks again for the encouragement-I'll definitely keep that in mind as I finish up my camper heater installation. Stay warm this winter! 😀👍🏼
Delusional! What you mean is you are only heating one part of your home and claiming it's "better". Chinese diesel heaters run around 69% efficiency burning the fuel and a good oil heating plant is in the 92-95% level. Changing a building designed for central heating to point heating isn't that easy but that's your problem not mine.
I relocated my screen to the interior of my 5th wheel. I absolutely LOVE mine! Dirt cheap to use. This is cheaper than using my electric heater. Ironic, since they want us to go electric.
hi I have just got the longer lead for the house this heater is a game changer
Heating my house with one connected to a 1200 litre fuel tank, just got a 1000 L of kerosene delivered for £600, hopefully last me 2 years and no need to keep refilling
That sounds like an amazing setup! Connecting it to a 1200-litre fuel tank is such a smart move, and getting 1000L of kerosene for £600 is a great deal. If that lasts you two years, that’s some serious savings. Plus, not having to worry about refilling constantly is a huge bonus! Hope it all works smoothly for you this winter and beyond. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼
can i have the place you picked up a 1000L of kerosene from if in the UK.
You’ll probably burn out a pump or two burning just kerosene,you might be lucky and be ok as they’re meant to pump diesel which has a lubricant,I normally mix 50/50 red diesel kero that keeps it happy,they really are a great little machine
I have 2 of them one in my garage and the other pipe inti house and it amazing
hey thats great thanks for taking the time to comment have a happy warm winter
Where did that carbon fiber rack come from? Wa that part of the unit or aftermarket? I like it.
I have 2 , one runs from solar and kerosene, heats whole downstairs to 21 degrees. Have one for conservatory cos I spend most of my time in there. Central heating does not work well with conservatory as it cools too quick and rest of house is really hot . Keeps conservatory at 22 set at 2 , run all morning and evening (total 9 hours a day ) costs about 20 quid for nearly 2 weeks running .
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s really interesting how you’ve set up your heaters, especially with one running on solar and kerosene. Sounds like a smart way to keep costs down while staying warm. I might share this in a future video if that’s okay with you since it could help others looking for affordable heating solutions. Have you tried any other methods for heating your conservatory or downstairs? Would love to hear more.
Ive seen the exaust put through a radiator for extra heat😅 also what fuel you run them on makes a big diferance filtered chip fat oil is cheapesti think if you you can source it from chip shop
Morning Jean, which diesel heater did you buy and where from,and where did you get your storage tank ,and fuel from,and who would I get to fit it please ???
Any support and tips will be really helpful,thanks in advance !! Xx
Hi Ann!
Thanks for your questions! The diesel heater I bought is the ALL IN ONE 8KW 12V/24V Portable Diesel Heater with an LCD display and Bluetooth app control, similar to Webasto or Eberspacher heaters. I got it from Amazon.
The storage tank came as part of the heater kit, and I usually get my fuel from a local petrol station.
As for installation, I honestly think it's something you can do yourself if you take your time. I'd recommend watching as many RUclips videos as possible to learn the process before jumping in-there are lots of helpful guides out there! Just don't rush, and make sure you feel confident at each step.
If you need more tips or have any other questions, feel free to ask! 😊

Wish me luck !!

How much does it cost to run for the week?
Hi Kavan!
Thanks for the question! The running cost depends on how much you use it, but here's a rough estimate. The heater consumes between 0.1 and 0.5 liters of diesel per hour. If you’re running it for about 8 hours a day at an average of 0.3 liters/hour, you’ll go through around 16.8 liters a week.
With diesel priced at around £1.50 per liter, that works out to roughly £25.20 per week. Of course, the cost will vary depending on how long and at what power setting you're running it, but this should give you a general idea.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you need any more details!

@@jean683-y8k Thanks for information roughy 100 pounds per month.
I burn kerosene in my diesel heater. It's cheaper than diesel. most of the time. And I think it burns cleaner. if you had. oil fired central heating. tank. and you could buy it in bulk. You'd really save. Two weeks ago, I paid £0.80 a litre plus. 5% tax for kerosene. red diesel in my area was over a pound. the litre. And as usual, when the winter comes, it always goes up. So it pays to buy it in the summer. But. life is life. We spend our money on other things. If we've got any. I also have two diesel heaters One directly into my living room wall. And another one upstairs into my bedroom Fortunately, living in a wooden house making. holes is quite easy. I have mounted the upstairs heater. in an metal. Ammunition. box. The fuel tank is in the house. But it's an outboard. motor tank. that detaches from the pipe Leaving its sealed. So you can take the tank outside the fill it up, so that you don't have a smell in the house. A tank hanging. on the outside of the house would look a bit dodgy. The ammunition box that my heaters in. is barely bigger than the heater burner itself. So it's got. a whole on the narrow end. with a right hand fitting bend. pipe connection that then goes into the house on the opposite endof the box there is a return air flow hole for the heater air, not. not combusted air. So I'm circulating the same air all the time to save even more on the fuel. If you're Pulling in cold air from outside. It'll cost you more money. The downstairs heater is just in a metal cabinet fixed to the wall just outside the living room. Metal is used because I live in. a. wooden house, and I don't want fire risk. If you've got a brick house, I'm sure a wooden box works out quite well. That heater has a 10 litre tank hanging on the wall. as no one can see it low down. which is easy to fill. I agree with you. It is saving me money. but a word of warning You do need to do a little bit of. maintenance. but there's loads of RUclips videos on that subject. I have more than one heater unit I can swap out a heater unit in less than 20 minutes. So I've always got a heater that's in good condition in case one goes down. and everything's really cheap. to do any repairs on these things.
That’s a detailed setup you’ve got there, Chris! Thanks for sharing it with me - very clever using kerosene to save on fuel costs and repurposing that ammo box for the heater! I totally agree with your point about fuel prices shooting up in winter - it definitely pays to plan ahead. I love the idea of keeping everything efficient by circulating the same air too.
It's great that you've got a backup heater ready to swap out when needed. I might have to explore more of the maintenance side for my next video since there’s so much people can learn about keeping these heaters running smoothly! Thanks again for your insights - super helpful for anyone trying to stay warm and save money! 🔥
Radiant water heating is more efficient.
thanks for your advice we will look into that
After initial outlay ?
Efficiency is different to cost though isn't it. Electric heating is 100% efficient but that doesn't make it a good financial choice in the UK.
Half as efficient at ⅓ the cost is still a deal.
Nothing like diesel fumes. Bet your neighbours are well chuffed 😅
I thought about that before installing it! We only run it during the day, and it’s boxed in, so you can’t hear it. Plus, I’ve taken measures to ensure there’s minimal impact on the neighbours 😄."
