Thanks for sharing your install experience. A few things I noticed: There are turret style mounting plates for when mounting through an already finished floor like that. It’s best to have the fuel line continue to gradually rise after the pump and not go downhill. The fuel filter is supposed to be installed 90 degrees vertical with direction of flow going up.
@@JackofAllMasterofNone regarding which? Instructions don’t mention the turret mounting plate, however when I contacted them, that’s what they told me. The other items are in the instructions, however they’re not very clear. It seems that their instructions are just copied from other cheap Chinese diesel heater instructions. However some of the other diesel heater instructions I have found online are actually more clear about these points. Velit really dropped the ball on their instructions.
@@anyalpine The manual states 0-90 degrees for the fuel filter. He should have also installed a stand pipe unless he doesn't plan on going over 6k elevation. Manual says the aux fill port doesn't perform well above that elevation
It works great using the Ford aux port. Velit recommends using their standpipe when routinely used above 5000 feet, which we will not be doing. That is why they include the Ford specific fuel tank adapter port.
13:54 Just reading my particular Velit manual and it states, 15 - 35-degree angle for the fuel pump. Reference: [4Kw / 14000BTU Gasoline/Diesel Air Heater User Manual VER 1.3]
I was worried about tapping the fuel tank but you demonstrated that isn’t an issue. Excellent video on the topic.
Glad it helped
I was wondering how it is installed inside the van, and you demonstrated it really well. Excellent review - thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Love what you did with the exhaust outlet.
Thanks! 👍

That's not what the instructions say at all

You are correct. But I think we have version 1.3 for our manual.
nicely done...
Thanks!
Velit recommends installing their standpipe into the fuel tank for fuel supply. How is it working without doing that?

Maybe they changed it?
No issues running thru the flammable floor without a turret?
There is a turret plate.....
