![[SOLVED] Diesel Heater Won't Start, Blowing White Smoke](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PaxYxzdTX64/mqdefault.jpg)
I for one can not wait to see you experimenting with different fuels Fella
You're a good man Martin sharing all this information. I'm about to order one of these units for my cold workshop and set it up like you have shown. Thanks so much for sharing.
Nice one Martin, watched your other video, really like the idea of it being in a case all in one, I've a log cabin garage and thinking this is the best option, loving your channels and down to earth videos, keep doing what you are doing it's a winner. Graham.
They are absolutely marvellous Martin. The one in the living room only needs to be on for half an hour and it warms the whole of downstairs, so obviously the shed is very warm. I think our local marina sells red diesel, so will try there. I look forward to your experiments. Take care, Jeff
Bought one of these after watching your review for my Mancave and its superb !! Many thanks
I use the all in one model . BRILLIANT ! Keeps workshop nice and comfortable .
A brilliant man. I love watching the gentleman explain things thank you very much👀♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Red diesel with a little bit of Kero (10% mix). Though I know some who run used strained motor oil with Kero mix. I have same model and it definitely heats my 12*20 shop nicely. Thank you for sharing, stay warm, safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Take a shot every time Martin says "folks" I dare yer ..hehe .
Great video👍 just fitted a normal diesel heater in a box and was worried it might overheat or something but portable one seems fine all crammed in that unit so you’ve put my mind at rest🥵👍
Back in winter 1984 I worked in a car workshop as a general dogs body. I was only 16 and one of my jobs was to fill the giant workshop heater. It was like a 10-12ft vertical pointing jet engine. My job was to fill it each morning with oil filled from the old sump tank oil in the yard. The heater had no electrical parts at all. It used sump oil newspaper and air to start combustion. It chucked the darkest smoke you'd ever seen for about 3 minutes before it would begin to heat the funnel. It would produce so much heat that the funnel would glow red. JSO would have a fit😂😂😂😂
Excellent, thank you for showing this
Another fantastic video thankyou look forward to alternative fuelling cheers.
Great instructions thank you. I will be ordering mine soon. Not sure which one but I do like the box unit complete.
Hi Martin I've been watching your diesel heater videos with interest. The cost of using electric heating has become so expensive I think a lot of people are looking at these heaters as an alternative. I've seen one man on RUclips using this type of heater to heat his house. He has heater in a box outside though. Keep up the good work Martin very good content. 👍
Thanks Martin great review ,make a little guard /heat shield to fasten on to the two studs on exhaust manifold to prevent heat damage to the fuel line thanks again Martin 👍👨🏻🏭
After much research I’m going to buy one of these for my bungalow home. Placed against the outside wall with ‘V’ outlet pipe, one through the wall into bedroom and one into lounge. Manrose flap vents on the inside. Small marine ply canopy to protect from worst of the weather. Put away in garage in summer and cap off inlet pipes. Got to be cheaper than keep on firing up my oil fired boiler every time. Nothing ventured - nothing gained.
I've just got one of these heaters for my garage which is divided into two basically by a breeze block wall. I'm looking for a V outlet too.
Going to be Ordering One of These Martin For my Worshop. Love Your Videos Mate Keep Them Coming
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the clear explanation
We’ll done mate, it’s a learning curve with these things, but overall I’m happy with mine, I’ve just made a frame to locate it externally, I don’t want sawdust being sucked in, bare in mind a Briggs Stratton 750 micron filter is half the size of normal ones and only a fiver, best of luck.
Really enjoy your videos. I just got mine a couple days ago. But I was going crazy trying
to get it to prime, pushing the "settings and Right arrow buttons" together. I was
getting no results. I have the same blue interface you have, but maybe mine is an older
version of the Blue face control panel, watched a video someone made about a
year ago with this controller, they got the primer pump to work by holding both
the Left and Right buttons down together and that worked for me. Hope that
helps a few people out there.
Very informative video , thankyou
Love watching
Going to build a small cabin next year, plan on using two of these. A bigger one for the living area, and a small one for the bedroom. Run the whole thing off a couple solar panels charging a few batteries.
Fitted mine yesterday, was very easy after watching these vids. Until I wondered why it was sucking instead of blowing 😳.
Fitted it back to front, assumed fan was by the outlet 🙄🙄. Cable ties back up the rubber pipe clips to stop leaks, job done....
Thats a handy piece of kit mate !!
That's a good idea Martin its all a case that one would be good boxed in outside the shed blowing the hot air in , well done
Very interesting video Martin 👍👍
This is what I use in my workshop, they work great 8kw and very hot. I am looking at getting heating oil for mine to see how it runs.
Excellent job thank you
I think the law may have changed in this country a few years ago regarding waste engine oil heaters so maybe something to look into before you go ahead and use old engine oil. What you can and what you do are 2 separate things😉. Looking forward to the next one👍
I bought a diesel heater years ago to heat up my garage when I was doing odd jobs. I think I paid £40 used for it, first modification was to put in a fuel filter and run it on veggie oil as its about 40% cheaper than diesel.
It runs absolutely fine on neat veggie oil, except when the temperature drops below zero and I have to add about 20% diesel to the tank. When the garage is warm I can go back to pure vegetable oil again.
Still not cheap to run, but cheaper than an electric heater.
Thanks for sharing
Great content Martin 👌 thanks 👊
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Martin
I've just filtered 5L of old engine oil I had . I did a 50/50 mix 5L engine oil & 5L Diesel . I can say it runs great & seams to put more heat out .
Thanks for sharing
Indeed it does just as you say but it also soots it up much quicker. I have had my heater over 4 years now i also use the afterburner controler and have never had to take mine apart to clean the soot out.
Martin, if you can get it, gearbox oil is just a grade or two different in viscosity from diesel or paraffin fuels, so that might work better than used engine oil, because it's just oil with no soot in it.
A cool mod to these would be to utilize peltier devices maybe with some sort of water jacket hooked with the exhaust and let them charge a smallish 12v battery. So it could be really "portable/offgrid" and on the go type of thing... And with a wee bit more electronics it could have a couple of USB ports so you get heat and convert the waste/exhaust heat to electricity...
Great video thank you
Martin, you may need to pair the remote to the unit. I’ve got the same controller and remote with the heater in my camper van. It’s been in a few years, but to pair I think you press the on button and the ok button at the same time on the remote. It should then say “pairing” on the remote screen. You then go to the controller and press the arrow key on the right and HFA or something similar should come on the controller screen. It should be paired then. Looking forward for your alternative fuel tests 👍
Thanks for that bud. I'll give it a go.
Great video
I just bought same unit. Appreciate your video. I need to figure out how to safely plumb the exhaust thru the wall. Stick frame construction in Oregon US with wood cladding. House is heated with forced air gas, quite reasonable on cost. Electric has gone costly, and currently heating garage with 2Kw resistance heater, and shop with 3Kw resistance heater. My last electric bill was 3.5x what we pay to heat the house. At current rates, diesel is cheaper for temperature rise while in use. I plan to keep electric at 52F when not in use. Thanks.
Check out my other diesel heater vid to see how I installed my other one.
So glad you are going to move the muffler and the fresh air in for the combustion chamber Sir. The mufflers are very leaky and it's better to not have to compete for air with any furnace. Cheers! New subscriber here.
Thanks Joe.
Cheers for this pal, just bought one and am watching/reading everything i can about it. You're right about people just parroting what they heard someone else say. Was going to put mine in my new (first !) shed today but can't find any bloody red diesel locally. Liked and subbed :)
Thanks for the sub and glad you like the video Gary.
@@retrorestore My pleasure, i found out today that red diesel is just normal diesel with dye in it for tax purposes, after spending 3 days trying to find a red diesel supplier! Live and learn eh :)
just screw on a 3x3 block of wood each end to lift it clear for exhaust and air filter pipe use the clamp bolt air filter pipe onto rear of case next to controller that lets you still take off outer cover and buy an extra long exhaust pipe wrapped with heat tape and keep it as a use anywere unit in poly tunnel or other cabin spray booth or house say you were diy plastering a wall wanting it to dry off fast or you had a burst pipe and need to dry out a room it got many many uses a a portable take anywere unit make a little cat flap for exhaust in other side of cabin to shove exhaust out
Great tips. Thanks.
Thank you
great video, thanks. i just ordered another one.
Hope you enjoy it!
Hi Martin,
Just be a little wary with the kerosine, you will probably have to add some to lubricate the oil pump. Kerosine makes a good degreaser / cleaner just like paraffin.
You got me. I’m now a new follower. Good luck
Thanks for the sub and glad you like the video Andrew.
Don't use any thing but diesel red is OK I had a faulty one and had to strip it down and decoke it it was thick with soot but it has worked fine for a year now every thing you want to know about these heater is on David Mclukie channel love your channel keep up the good work
good job !!
Yeah I'm thinking about it
Great video Martin
Thanks Steve👍
Thank you for sharing this information. I am interested in learning how much fuel it takes to run one of these.
You can run it on the lowest setting all night and heat a very large room nice and toasty on less than a gallon of diesel. In fact, it might be too much, depending on how much insulation you have.
Might be worth adding an inline filter?
Thanks for posting this up, l have been looking at these and good to see some real life experience.
Would be interesting to see how this would work in the inflatable paint booth, replace the filter fan for this, I wonder if it would heat it up enough in this cold weather to allow you to paint??
I was installing my second heater last weekend. The first one in my shed and this portable one in my boat. Moved the fuel tank from the heater and put it outside, found the same issues. The up and down buttons are backwards
a very useful an informative video. thanks for all the info. what power supply are you using and where did you buy it.
There's a link below the video.
ooooh Sharon will love that
Regardless of whether there's an internal fuse, you must put a fuse at the battery end to protect the cable.
The cable size should be an adequate size to carry the design fault current of the unit. That's basic design formula before ti would have gone into production.
My Mitsubishi can run on old chip shop oil, (try your Greasy Apron Cafe) Dewatered and filtered with a dash of Kerosene. Nice vid Martin.
Thanks for the idea!
Not sure I'd want this type of heater inside a building I was going to be in, just from a carbon monoxide point of view. The components look a bit cheap. I'd be inclined to have the whole unit outside, and plumb the heat outlet through the wall. Some white spirit in the diesel would stop it freezing up in really cold weather too.
Absolutely ideal for the type of use you're using it for though, and very economical if you can get it running on old engine oil etc.
martin, air intake should stay indoors, if placed outside with exhaust, in cold weather you will be burning more fuel. cheers👍
Re the fuel filter . After a couple of years use running mine on red diesel there is quite a lot of debris in the bottom of the tank that has come with the fuel .
Great watch that lad 👍🔥👍
Nice one Mart , a mate of mine used to run his diesel Astra mk1 on cooking oil , I will ask him what he thinks it could run on , he’s a top engineer and knows his stuff, hope you are well mate
Thanks Phil👍
I have one that run solely one kerosene ‘heating oil’ i get mine from a local garage at 81p a litre as a-pose to diesel at £1.60/70 a litre, no issues at all and I run mine 24/7, in my tropical fish shop.
Thanks for sharing
I am torn between buying one of these or a paraffin heater for my small workshop. Any advice I would be grateful. Also what type of battery to power the diesel heater ,? cheaper the better !. Thanks.
Definately change the exhust setup, the silencers are designed to be outside, ie under a camper van etc, they are not seem welded plus as you mentioned in a previous video they have a hole to allow condensation to escape
I'll be changing that soon.
Really informative video, watching with interest, just wondered how much fuel these heaters use when in use, also whether they have a timer function so you can decide when you want them to 'fire up' ? I have a cold garage so the timer function would be really useful.
Yes they have a timed feature Dave.
7:00 "That's what she said..." 🤣😂🤣
Hi Martin been looking at these myself for the workshop and keep an eye on that project man he will be running his for free with your diesel lol oh look there's a cheap way to run it on someone else's fuel
lol Richard
I`ve been trying to buy a Vevor heater as in your video but always coming up out of stock, but they still advertise today 5/12/2022 that delivery from 7 to the 9/12/2022, have it before Xmas.
Have you fitted an in line switch between batteries and heater ? Ive 2 batteries, 24 volt
Hi i was wondering should i put the black air take filter out side?
very helpful
Glad to hear that
One thing to note is it's not an 8Kw heater it's 3Kw at best. This needs to be taken into consideration if you have a bigger area to heat.
The heaters are great when used in the correct size shed/garage etc.
Love the content mate, but please ensure you have a couple of Carbon Monoxide detectors about.
i saw this on vevor's black friday for £106 let me know how it goes as this will be ideal for my small work shop
Im a bit late to this, but it seems a great idea for my workshop. Unfortunately, the company has now stopped making these!!
I recon waste oils car/chip and others be interesting to see. Keep it up for the next video 👍
Just got one of these. Set it up yesterday, Any suggestions as what best to use to protect the shed and insulation form catching fire. I have done the exhaust rap but still like to do something more just for pease of mind.
You could try rockwool with the foil protecter on
Any good for a conservatory, set up outside and heat tube in via the wall . ? Any tips would be great .
Great upload and thanks for taking the time .
Yes, absolutely
I was always on the understanding that red diesel was only for agricultural use... but no! It's legal for non commercial generators and heaters, and that's straight from the gov uk site.
For time being until they get popular, at this rate quite quickly i would think
Hey just sudded excellent video my friend
Hey, thanks
Love the video but what controler do you think is better the new one you got ot the one you already have
As long as they do what they are supposed to do, I have no preference.
Great review again Martin but sadly still no good for me as i can't vent it outside 👍👍👍👍
Mate ur accent is class. I want u in a guy Richie movie. 🇮🇪🍻👌
They do say it is better that the air intake is better inside as it recirculates the warm air, because outside the air is too cold, and heater runs better with the air intake inside. Also you have to pair the remote with the control panel
Already paired in a different video.
Try taking the battery out and then putting it back in for the remote. I will be watching for the upcoming videos using different types of fuel.
I had a x5 with a diesel heater built in from New
Martin nice Video. QUESTION ..what's that big white cabinet in your video?
I think you mean my powder coating oven
Hi mate great video, quick question could i use stainless pipe for the air pipe that goes outside?
Yes you can!
Thanks the vid Martin.
I've tested these heaters with countless different combinations of engine oil mixtures and the end result is always the same, the burn chamber clogs up eventually, and the unit fails to start (the carbons in used engine oil are just too heavy for the heater to cope with). I would normally say, don't use engine oil in them, but if you've got a unit for testing purposes, give it a go and when it clogs up, make a vid on how to clean a clogged up burn chamber.
Yes, that's the plan, they look easy to strip down to clean.
@@retrorestore I look forward to seeing the mixtures used, and results you get Martin.
@@retrorestore Have a look where its mounted to the base frame. No screws looks like a form of pop rivet throughout.
Had it Friday wont power up, comes up E-03 Ignition Plug.
My install in my land rover has run for 3 years on Kerosene and I've never opened it or cleaned it, like you said run it on high periodically before a shutdown will help to keep it clean. Unless you have to, stay away from mixing old engine oil as it carries to much suspended carbon. Great video
a bit of topic but what is the wooden box you have ao the bench made from decking board mate and a good video this has i thinking of buying one
That box is a lawnmower engine stand for working on lawnmower engines.
Hiya we brought the vevor 5 kw that you demonstrated in one of your videos, set it all up lovely followed all instructions now we can’t get the panel switch to go through any settings and heater won’t turn up, do you think the panel switch is faulty.
Don't know bud, Get in contact with them.
Hi. Do you have any idea where I can get the inner heat tube, mine has totally melted, Also is there any way to limit the amount of soot these generate. All I use is road diesel.
No, sorry
Ive just bought one of these to heat my workshop. Do you know what size ducting i need for the hot air feed? Ive not received it yet but im going to need one at least 6ft so I'll order one now before it arrives but unsure on size? Thanks
they sell it on ebay.
On the floor generally creates more heat as it rises!
Good review Martin do you get any fumes or smells of Diesel off the heater when they are running inside of your cabin I know you will get some outside from the exhaust pipe
Not at all
clever man
Thank you Martin. Extremely helpful. Quick queestion. Can the unit from UK mains by sticking a plug on the wires you attached to the battery in the video?
No not at all, its a 12volt unit so you will need a 12 volt supply.
@@retrorestore Cheers mate.
