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
If you want it to blow really hard into the room remove all the grid from that intake end. Leave just the ring Thant holds the two halves together. It will greatly increase airflow.
I'm gonna get the Diesel one they sell, $700 seems like a bit much, i watched a video comparing a $1300 Webastro vs a $200 Chinese one and the quality isn't that HUGE of a difference for the price, but i think i will be going with this one, thanks for the video i subscribed
The dip tube is smaller to run leaner, sea level use at low heat settings rather than only running it on hi could cause sooting of the burn chamber. The smaller tube would help to reduce this.
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]
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.
He will be fine without a turret plate. The exhaust pipe is far enough away from the wood. I would worry about the sound deadening material. This could melt any plastics or rubber compound. In the end a turret is the best way to go, but sometimes the install doesn't allow for such a large hole. I love his exhaust setup. "Very neat"!
I was wondering how it is installed inside the van, and you demonstrated it really well. Excellent review - thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I was worried about tapping the fuel tank but you demonstrated that isn’t an issue. Excellent video on the topic.
Glad it helped
Great video. Love what you did with the exhaust outlet.
Thanks! 👍
nicely done...
Thanks!

That's not what the instructions say at all

You are correct. But I think we have version 1.3 for our manual.

I have a $100 diesel heater in my garage and it works just as good. But the fact that I needed a gasoline one made my choices a little smaller

Maybe they changed it?
@@JackofAllMasterofNone they did add a Carbon dioxide detector and Bluetooth idk if yours has that?
Velit recommends installing their standpipe into the fuel tank for fuel supply. How is it working without doing that?

Noticed any issue with it being a wet heat? I’ve had disel heaters and I know they produce a dry heat
No it's just like a diesel heater. All of the combustion gas is exhausted outside so there's no condensation made inside
All forced air heat and A/C are dry air. You will not get a moisture build up in the vehicle like is caused by a Mr. buddy propane heater.
No issues running thru the flammable floor without a turret?
There is a turret plate.....
