    The main reason for using so much fuel is that you've got the unit outside and so drawing in freezing cold air into the heating unit. Put the heater inside and just have the exhaust outlet outside. These units are designed to be used inside.

      You must have inlet and exhaust on outside for combustion camber, only heater inside which drag air from in room and pushing hot air out in room.

    Bought one of these things 2 years ago,
    Not rocket science to set up ,
    Worked well ,heated my small shed very well.
    Then i moved it go another part of the shed ,
    ironically because the exhaust was near the door, and i thought I might gas myself.
    Long story short,
    Because I'd already set it up and ran it , I just undid the exhaust pipe , ,
    and fed it through the wall from the outside ,
    Then I connected it to the heater,
    and went away to finish the job the next day,
    Totally forgot to tighten the clamp on the pipe and started running the heater.
    Over the next few days
    I started getting very tired , then I started getting dizzy and forgetful,,
    Then about 3 weeks after I first fitted the heater
    I went to bed one night ,and woke up in A and E, after having a massive fit in my sleep.
    I've since been told im epileptic,
    Just a simple mistake, my fault totally, not blaming anyone but myself,
    Nearly cost me my life.
    Take care .

      Thanks for the posting mate and sorry to hear your troubles - your post could save someone else [or their family] serious grief.
      One thing absobloodylutely essential for everyone who has any bit of equipment where combustion is involved, get a Carbon Monoxide detector / alarm - they are only 20 Quid or so and that's three parts of four fifths of f*ck all to spend, when it could save your life.
      For around forty quid you can get a CO meter with readout in parts per million and these are great for making fuel/air adjustments that will really get your heater running at top efficiency and fuel savings should pay for itself in the first winter of running.
      All the fuel savings you could make using these brilliant little heaters ain't enough to pay for your funeral - be safe and get a detector/alarm.

    You’ve got the exhaust pumping out carbon monoxide in the same space as the cold air intake thus pumping it into the heated space. Seems extremely risky not to mention inefficient. I believe the unit is designed to be placed inside the heated space while the exhaust is piped to the outside.

    I'm using one of these heaters to heat my 600 square foot condo. I run the exhaust pipe out a window, seal the gaps (I use fireproof rockwool batt to surround the exhaust pipe). Last winter I used about 5 gallons US #2 Diesel per week to heat my home... far less expensive than heating with electric heat, which used to be my only source of heat. One thing I have noticed, these little heaters tend to coke up the combustion chamber if run at the low settings for long periods.

  • @Bryan-Hensley
    @Bryan-Hensley Год назад +16

    If you have any more issues with the fuel flow, those pumps aren't good at sucking, you might need to lift the tank up closer to the pump or the pump closer to the tank. I agree with the others, you need the cold air intake plumbed inside too. It's easier to heat the room air vs outside air. You could also pull in the exhaust fumes since they are close, the way it is now..

  • @alexlee9394
    @alexlee9394 Год назад +12

    I concur, have your air intake coming from inside your garage. Also make sure your combustion air intake is well away from the exhaust pipe and use the muffler, have the exhaust sloping downwards to allow any condensation to come out. The other thing is the fuel pump runs best at 35degrees. Where did you get those rubber connectors for your white fuel line? That leak at the fuel line going into the heater should be tight as well as all others or you will eventually run into an E8 error.

    It has been my experience that the pump mounted at a 45* will burn up pumps, I burned up 3 pumps that way. I now mount them at 90* like you had yours only right side up. My heaters run for months at a time here in western Pennsylvania. You can tell when your pump is starting to go bad, It will start speeding up and then slow down it gets quite bothersome . I can't sleep listening to it speed up slow down. I like mine nice and steady. I think they tell you to mount them at 45* to sell more pumps. They are made of not the best steel. Unlike my Webasto's the pumps work any way you want, They are made really well and are expensive I have some from the 90's that are still ticking away. Cheers..

  • @craigchamberlain
    @craigchamberlain 9 месяцев назад +3

    The fuel pump can be vertical as long as it’s the right way up. In fact it’s better vertical than at 45 degrees as air can get out even easier. The big no-no is to have it horizontal or at a shallower angle than 45 degrees.
    As others have said already, you’ll get a huge efficiency improvement if you recirculate warm air rather than heating outside air all the time. Keep combustion intake and exhaust outside but have circulation intake and exhaust inside. It’s even better if you have the whole unit inside with the combustion exhaust and intake going outside because you also capture the radiated heat from the heater, but it would be noisier.

  • @jamesturner2126
    @jamesturner2126 Год назад +2

    The trick to running it on other than diesel is cleanliness and heat. Strip it down, clean it completely, especially around the burn chamber and glow plug. Once it lites, you have to keep it on high so the combustion fan can keep it hot so even motor oil will burn.

I haven't ran it hot for months and i figured from my considerable experience that I had some build up that needed to be hot burned and a quick general ⛑ ⛑ maintenance' so i ran it full blast and it musta cooked the chamber" I went outside and straighten the exhaust pipe straight down and went back inside and started the heater it was still blowing white smoke and then what sounded like half a gunshot went off and couple of ounces of Black soot fell onto the ground and the Heater ran perfectly. Sure glad i straightened that exhaust pipe and burned the chamber or i wouldn't be having a merry Burrrrr Christmas. 1995 Thor 32 ft M

      Yes, this is a more serious mistake than the fuel pump installed up side down. We spotted. When the heater starts, the workshop must be filled with diesel fume. Even at steady state, the amount of carbon monoxide is not zero. The heater was designed to be used inside a caravan. The separation of breathing air and burning air must mimic that of a caravan.

You want it to reheat the air that's already been warmed from the room for best effect :)

    Hi mate. Not having a go, but you need to switch it off (for your safety) and maybe watch some videos on RUclips first. I'm new to this myself, but your install isn't safe. The exhaust gases can be sucked into the air heater inlet (then outlet to your room) which will be lethal. It needs routing outside. All the exhaust and fuel lines need Jubilee/circlips. The fuel line needs a filter before the pump. Try to run the unit off a car battery. A trickle charger can keep it topped up. Otherwise a power cut/trip will ruin the heater due to no slow power down. Good luck!

    • @SpiraSpiraSpira
      @SpiraSpiraSpira Год назад

      The air heater inlet doesn’t exhaust air into the room being heated. It’s true with the output and input close together some exhaust products are likely being ingested, and that’s not good for efficiency, but it isn’t a safety issue. This type of heater pulls air, combusts it, and exhausts it in one loop. Then a second air loop pulls air from the room to be heated, runs it through a heat exchanger, and dumps that now-heated air into the room/area to be heated. That’s the main reason why these things are safe to be used (if installed correctly) in truck cabs, etc. There’s 2 loops for air, and never do they touch.

    The combustion air intake and exhaust are outside, as they should be.
    BUT: The *FRESH* air intake is not far above the exhaust: so it could pull in (CO laden) exhaust gases and send them inside the building.
    This could be a real *"FATAL"* error... as in it can efficiently, silently, kill you.
    The FRESH air intake needs to be completely separated from the exhaust... preferably in the same area that is being heated so it can re-warm already warmed air - much more efficient, also.
    Also you still seem to have a diesel leak..that can contribute to your usage - not to mention if it hits the usually VERY hot exhaust pipe, it could ignite... not something you want to happen, either.

    It would be like switching on the recirculation switch for the car vents with the AC on, the car gets much colder as it takes the cold air from the interior and passes it back through the AC then back in again.

    Here's more info on fuels I've tried in the UK spec Vevo 5kW unit, with stock settings (with the controller-new type, late 2022, without the antenna signal indicator):
    Best fuel, most heat, Kerosene=heating oil=jetA1=paraffin
    Diesel, red or standard next best
    Brake fluid, DOT3 diluted with 10% petrol next best
    Old dirty engine oil diluted 20% with unleaded petrol next best
    Transmission fluid/old gearbox oil diluted with 10% petrol next (but smelly)
    Old gunwash thinners with 10% old engine oil to give it some lube properties not very good
    Old petrol with 10% old engine oil, also not very good.
    Acetone, brake and clutch cleaner (trichloroethylene- don't breath the smoke at all) or alcohol/meths don't really work at all.
    With all of the hydrocarbons, it is pretty obvious that there is way too much air running through the combustion chamber, because the exhaust pipe gets really hot (wasted heat). The combustion gas is being pushed straight out of the heat exchanger. If you choke the combustion air inlet a little, while still maintaining a lean and clean burn (at max fan speed), the exhaust temp drops while the heat exchanger actually gets a lot hotter. More time for the hot combustion gases to transfer the heat into the heat sink, as the burning gas is moving slower.
    Oh and throw away the little fuel filter they supply, as it doesn't filter anything! Get a proper fuel filter...

    Hi my new heater has came with the pump horizontally and in same direction as the mistake in the video so mounted it a 45 degree angled but there is a flow arrow pointing towards the wiring is it wrong any idears .cheers

      Hi John thanks for the comment. As far as I understand the arrow is the direction of flow and should point 👉 towards the wire connection. However different comments on RUclips land say the angle of the pump doesn't matter to much ...30/45/90/vertical etc. Mine is about 40-45 degrees ish ....and it's been working fine every day for over 2 months now .cheers.

    I worry about these exhausts being too close to the cold air inlet. It will actively suck combustion products into it and into the workshop. When you pipe workshop air back out to the air intake that will help keep the two circuits isolated.

    • @SpiraSpiraSpira
      @SpiraSpiraSpira Год назад

      This isn’t how this type of heater works. This heater has 2 inputs for air. The first one is the input that gets combusted, then exhausted. These are generally both from outside. A second input takes air from inside the area being heated, runs that air over a heat exchanger and outputs it in the room to be heated. That’s what the fan is doing/why it needs electricity. So even if the input air that you’re talking about takes a little bit of combustion products, it will be exhausted right back outside without anything entering the room if he installed it correctly.

    The fuel usage is mathematical
    Each impulse of the pump moves 0.02ml of fuel. No more. No less.
    Mine has 5 settings "H1,2,3,4,5. Etc
    Here's the maths
    Fuel usage
    H1 2.0/sec = 120/min = 144 ml/h
    H2 2.6/sec = 156/min = 187 ml/h
    H3 3.4/sec = 204/min = 245 ml/h
    H4 4.0/sec = 240/min = 288 ml/h
    H5 5.0/sec = 300/min = 360 ml/h
    That's what my "8kw all in one unit", uses.
    It was designed in the 1930's for caravans, trucker cabs at night, boats, my garden cabin, etc...
    Not really for homes, although many do warm a simple room really nicely with it. (Not the whole house, as some think)
    It's 5kw. No more...
    I am over the moon about mine by its efficiency, simplicity and serviceability.
    I hope this helps

    I wanted to install one of these bad boys for my bunk in my RV. There is no heating in that area for some strange reason, so even if I turn on the heat, it is chilly sleeping in the bunk. Diesel is easier to obtain than propane and does throw more heat per volume. You could easily have a small slip tank filled up (100+ liters) and it should last a long time between fills.

    You can also calibrate the heaters so that they only use as much fuel as needed to generate the correct amount of heat rather than the default of too much which will make a more dirty exhaust and need to be cleaned more often, and usually the fan’s low speed is too low to move much air, so it’ll have a more useful range when you go to turn it down, once calibrated.

    Tank and pump should be above the heater not below it the pump only meters the fuel it does not pressurise it. Air intake and exhaust are the only things that need venting to the outside air, hot air intake and outlet stay in the room. If you have the burner air intake inside it causes negative air pressure and removes your heated air and pumps it out side.

    That's quiet a height for the pump to draw fuel from be interesting to see if the pump lasts.
    In the boxed versions there is only a matter of inches for the fuel to be drawn to the pump then the pump drains down hill as well. So you have two extra strains on the pump.

    more of fatal mistake , the exhaust needs to go through an outside wall , the way you have it now can potentially put carbon monoxide from the exhaust sucked through the intake and into the room that you are heating , where as with the heater process it's making carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide ,to be detrimental to health with CO2 1000-15000 PPM starts to be harmful where as only 50 PPM of carbon monoxide can kill, the clacker pump instructions state a minimum of 45 degrees from the horizontal so having it vertical is preferable just pumping upwards to eliminate any air pockets as the pump is lubricated via the fuel going through it,
