We installed one of these in our houseboat project as well. We put the pump outside the house in the fuel tank box. It runs really quiet and we can't hear the pump running. We used it last spring and fall and it worked great.
Great work as always! That boat will be nice and toasty and cozy for those cold days and nights. I’ve just got one question (due to my ignorance about both boats and heaters)… will the rocking of the boat cause any issues with the fuel delivery from the tank to the heater? (If it’s gravity feed) or does it have an electric pump? Again I’m ignorant to such things so if this is a stupid question please have patience 😵💫 Thanks again for sharing your work!
As long as I don't capsize the boat, it will be fine with movement😁 There is an electric pump between fueltank and the heater, which is monitored by the control panel so the amount of fuel entering the burn chamber is always very controlled, no matter the movements of the boat. Think about it as an enclosed system unaffected by external forces. (To a certain degree at least.) Every respectful question is more then welcome, it is the only way we can improve! Thank you for commenting, as always, much appreciated!
@@adrianwoodworm Thank you for that reply and information about that heater. And I believe also, for the money you spent, it looks to be a great deal. I sure hope you don’t TURN TURTLE (capsize that is!) I would think your heater would be the last thing I’d worry about !!! … lol. 😵
@Adrian Woodworm your content is always well thought out, and the insights are quite helpful. I truly enjoy seeing your build step by step. I'll be eagerly awaiting the next one. Cheers Adrian! 😁
I am curious as well. According to the internet it consumes 0.11 - 0.51 liter per hour, depending on the setting. Only time will tell when I actually have a chance to run it for while. Burning wood, especially when it is windfall or scrapwood, is still the most satisfying way to heat your space in my opinion. Are you talking about the grizzly cubic mini stove?
@@adrianwoodworm yes, cubic mini. Weather warmed up to sub 0, -10 range, tiny house just needs morning and evening heating. Been pretty easy on fuel, can break up branch sized wood and get by easily. Really liking this unit.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but I would have mounted the tank with the fill port pointing out away from the steps. Diesel is slippery, especially when mixed with water and it makes a huge mess when filling with a portable can.
It would be hard to reach when pointing the other way, you would need a ladder to fuel up when the boat sits on the trailer. I guess the key is to be a bit careful and not to spill diesel. And if it happens anyways, well, then I have to spend a minute to clean it up.
نتمنى لك اعياد ميلاد سعيدة وكنت اتمنى تشغيل الهيتر لكي نرى طريقه التدفئة وياريت تشرح لنا طريقه عمل الكونترول والفيول بمب لاننا نجهل عمل هكذا نوع من الدفايات وشكرا
Unfortunately I could not show how the heater works because the fumes of the exhaust would have created a very toxic environment in the garage, but I will demonstrate it as soon as I move the boat out of the garage. It is a very simple heater. The 12v pump moves fuel from the tank into the burn chamber. The entire combustion process is sealed and all the fumes move through the excaust to the exterior. The aluminum housing of the burn chamber heats up and warms the air surrounding it, which then is moved with a 12v fan to wherever you direct the ducting. That's all there is to it. There are many videos on dieselheaters on youtube if you need more information, I hope this helps!
I see you got the diesel heater for free, but your water heater uses propane, and the motor will probably use gasoline. It seems more difficult to use 2, 3, or 4 different fuel sources.
Good thought, yes that is true. It is hard (not impossible though) to run it all on just one fuel source. That beeing said, I don't think it will bother me that much.
This boat is coming out so damn slick!
Thank you, I try to do my best!
Another great addition to the Houseboat!
Thank you!!

Good to hear that it works well for someone else! Sounds like a good idea to install the pump outside as well!
Grüße aus Oberammergau, cool gemacht
Vielen Dank! Grüße zurück aus dem sau kaltem Kanada! (Hatten -30C° letzte Nacht🥶)
As always I enjoy your videos and talent.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Another great job. I found myself asking why and then you said at the end.
Thanks for the video!
I am glad I could answer you question after all!😁 thank you for watching and commenting!
Beautiful job!!!
Good luck !!!
Thank you!!
Nice work!
Thanks!

I’m enjoying burning windfall with Grizzly in my 100 sq ft tiny place at -30C. Curious what the diesel consumption is for that unit in your weather.
