Just for reference, my 27m3 brick garage(insulated flat roof) got upto 25 degrees in 15 mininutes from a starting temp of 3 degrees this morning. It was -4 outside. I have an 8KW heater.👍
@@VANFLIPPINGTASTIC Yes, 100% agree. Have you any ideas on what to do with the roof? You mentioned the walls which is a good start but the heat will disappear through those roof panels fast enough.
Thanks for these really useful real-world practical videos. Your 30 cubic metre shed in winter is a real torture test for the heater, being a totally uninsulated space, so the little bugger did a sterling job !
Power Joke for the win. sweet idea, Would love to see a video on that. How much fuel and watts of power were being used at different speeds, noticed the jug of fuel in the background slowly went down. Difference between lvl3 and lvl6 dropped almost 2 inches. Great videos and please keep them comming
Glad you stayed long enough to see the power joke , the price of them is a joke ..The watts of power dosnt change that much between high and low , if i can remember it draws 2 amp on low and 3amp on high (30 / 40 WATTS) . have a look at two last videos for the fuel difference.. cheers Terry
Really interesting - does a cracking job really especially with no insulation. Very useful videos - only ‘complaint’ Rachel won’t be impressed when I buy one for extra heating in the van 😂 Have a great weekend, All the best, David 👍
It will be super economical in your van David. A lot cheaper than gas .it's just the ticking of the pump that bothers some people , dosnt really bother me . You get used to it. Atb Terry
Another good Diesel Heater video! Thanks for taking the time to make it. A bit of bubble wrap on the ceiling might be good as a temporary insulative layer maybe? Given you a thumbs up, I like your CDH vids cheers! 👍
Yes I think once the roof is sorted then it will be ok.it needs replacing because it was leaking and I've just threw a tarpaulin over it for the winter..I will sort it out when it's warmer..
Thanks for posting, and I have watched many UK. diesel heater videos, and the one thing is at your determent, not a scrap of insulation in sheds and whatever. The trick is keeping heat in and cold out.
Brilliant video bud! FYI - there's actually no such thing as an 8kW version of these - it's rebadged 5kW - some of these with the max power tuned down in the controller (which you just set correctly again), & some are literally 5kW units, no differences.
i used a 150 watt eco worthy solar set up and i cant fault them .. the leasure battery in the van was a bog standard cheap 100amp battery from a camping shop , i cant remember the name , ive sold the van now so i cant check ..it cost about 85 pound . the battery in the video is an old car battery on its last legs and it works great😄😄😄
Can ya fit these like side ways directly to a wall so the exhaust and air intake is facing straight outside or do they have to be fitted with them inlet /outlet is at the bottom 🤔
Sorry you'll be disappointed testing the "8kw" heater. David McLuckie and John McKay both reviewed them, physically they're identical to 5kw units. Do the math, diesel is approx 130k BTU/gal, 34 BTU/ml. 5.5hz x .022ml is about 400ml/hr, about 14,800 BTU. 3400BTU per Kw is 4.3, a long way from 8. That said, these are still nice units. I put one in our camper as alternative for the propane, I couldn't run it, even at min setting until temps dropped to 10C/50F or it was too warm, 25C/77F. Yes you can cycle it on/off, but they run better continuously
I always start it up on a morning o flat out for a while to burn the previous days soot.. kills two bird with one stone ...quickly warms the room before turning it down..
You're roof won't help, no insulation so the heat goes straight out. My sheds fully insulated its warmer outside until I put the heater on for 20 mins it gets hot
Totally correct ... its leaking and covered with a tarpaulin so I can't insulate it yet i will repair it when its warmer weather......no excuse for the sides though.
Hello Sir, Could you tell me the temperature that comes out of the end of the 8kw heater ? Is there a drop in temperature between this one and the other one, where you measured it without the intake hose ? Cause I have the 5kw version, standing outside and put the hose through the wall and only get like 80C on stage 6 (max setting) my medium insulated garage (~25m² or 55m³) only gains like 3C per hour an was topping out at only 12C ?! I´m starting to think i have a faulty unit or something
I'm getting around 140 at the hose end ..your heater will be 5 kw, apparently there's no such thing as 8kw heaters. After much research I've discovered that the Chinese 8kw heaters are actually 5kw.
I am in Ukraine and thinking about providing some of these for families here to protect them in the electrical grid collapse we all anticipate from Putin's rocket, but I need a couple questions answered. Can you help me? Does it require an electrical source only for starting up or for its continual running? If I use a car battery outside of a vehicle how long will that last to run the heater before needing recharging?
A car battery will work.i am using one in video..it runs at about 3 amps so if you have a 60 amp battery it will run for 20 hours till flat so use till half depleared then recharge
It's just temporary at the moment .the sheds getting Insulation fitted and the roof repaired in the summer and there's a permanent heater lower down in the wall. You see it in the latest video

i think my problem is the lack of insulation.
@@VANFLIPPINGTASTIC Yes, 100% agree. Have you any ideas on what to do with the roof? You mentioned the walls which is a good start but the heat will disappear through those roof panels fast enough.
@@steveclark.. yeah i am putting a tin roof on top of the plastic one and then insulating it. its leaking slightly so the tin roof is a must
Thanks for these really useful real-world practical videos. Your 30 cubic metre shed in winter is a real torture test for the heater, being a totally uninsulated space, so the little bugger did a sterling job !
Yeah it works hard to get up to temp but once there I drop to h3 and it's great ... I will insulate it once I repair the roof.

Great video, I don’t know if you have noticed but your other diesel heater video has 100 thousand views 😂 congratulations. Your a star now 😂
didnt notice mate , thats crazy . ive answered loads of questions as well .. its gone mad
Really interesting - does a cracking job really especially with no insulation.
Very useful videos - only ‘complaint’ Rachel won’t be impressed when I buy one for extra heating in the van 😂

thanks .. roof was leaking ,got a temp fix at moment . i,ll fix it when its warmer.. bubble wrap is a good idea , cheers
Nice one Terry mate. I'm intrigued to see more of the Power Joke .. 👍😁
oh , the PowerJoke , nice to know you watched till the end , i will do a video on that little item soon Gaz..
Another good watch. Be good to see the 8kw compared to the 5kw.
Ps it’s the roof where your heat is going.
Yes I think once the roof is sorted then it will be ok.it needs replacing because it was leaking and I've just threw a tarpaulin over it for the winter..I will sort it out when it's warmer..
Thanks for posting, and I have watched many UK. diesel heater videos, and the one thing is at your determent, not a scrap of insulation in sheds and whatever. The trick is keeping heat in and cold out.
i will insulate it once the leaking roof is repaired properly
Brilliant video bud!
FYI - there's actually no such thing as an 8kW version of these - it's rebadged 5kW - some of these with the max power tuned down in the controller (which you just set correctly again), & some are literally 5kW units, no differences.
yes i know .i was going to prove this in a test , also the 5 kw heater is only pushing out 4kw..
Brilliant video thanks for sharing
Cheers ... your welcome. Thanks for watching
Great video mate would love to see a video on the power joke🤙
Thanks for watching to the end David.. a few people have said that so it looks like I will have to do one ...
Nice work 😊
I was in -13 in my van last week down Oxfordshire
Wow .. mega cold .did you have a heater on and if so did it cope alright
Great video. Can you let us know what battery & solar panel you use....and if you'd buy the same again? Thanks.
i used a 150 watt eco worthy solar set up and i cant fault them .. the leasure battery in the van was a bog standard cheap 100amp battery from a camping shop , i cant remember the name , ive sold the van now so i cant check ..it cost about 85 pound .

Yes it can be fitted sideways .I am fitting this sideways in a video soon in the shed. I am just waiting on a base plate in the post..
The fuel pipe has to be a certain way I think to prevent flooding when mounted that way. I can't remember if it's up or down but it can be done

I know there the same .and the pump isn't big enough to deliver the amount of fuel needed to create 8kw..the 5kw unit is more like 4kw as well.
Definitely would like to the 8kw and what the difference is to the 5kw
That's if there's a difference .
I have both so I should sort a test out..
If you run it full speed for 15mins once a week (if you're using it every day on low) will burn all the crap out
I always start it up on a morning o flat out for a while to burn the previous days soot.. kills two bird with one stone ...quickly warms the room before turning it down..
Must be really efficient on diesel as that fuel tank haven't moved in 3hrs
unfortunately the jug above it loses nearly all its fuel
You're roof won't help, no insulation so the heat goes straight out.
My sheds fully insulated its warmer outside until I put the heater on for 20 mins it gets hot

Emulsify water and oil together and mix with diesel like blend together check runtime interested to know
I don't think you need the water 50 50 oil diesel should be good enough

Hey boss I think all the heat is going straight out of the roof, if you put even a little insulation up there it would make a huge difference
I agree but it's leaking at moment so will insulate when I've repaired it.ive got a tarpaulin over it for now
Can you show us how to hook one of these up electrically?
I just use a battery and keep it on trickle charge . If you want to use 240 uk volts then you need a 240 to 12 volt transformer from Amazon .
Hope you find a van soon 🚐😊🙏
Me too .I can't wait to get stuck into working on it
You really need to insulate the shed especially the roof. No heater will economically heat such a large uninsulated space.
very true , but my roof is leaking and i,ve put a plastic cover over it till i replace the roof , cant insulate it till its repaired
@@VANFLIPPINGTASTIC I knew that there had to be a reason, good luck.
@@tonycamplin8607 thanks Tony
Does anyone know how to change fan speed on this type controller on the video? Or any way to go on hz mode?
try pressing the setting button 3 times and put in pin code 1688 to get into more settings
curtain off an area around the heater
It's just temporary at the moment .the sheds getting Insulation fitted and the roof repaired in the summer and there's a permanent heater lower down in the wall. You see it in the latest video
