    fuel filter is in backwards and you can hook it straight to the pump no need for the extra clamp and hose

    I found that the fuel pump actually doesn’t mind not being at an angle.
    Mine pumps the air just through.
    Little hint on the warm air outlet: if you blow it down it actually mixes a lot better w. cold air.
    After all, hot air rises. So keeping the thermostat at a lower level also prevents cold feet 🙂

    “Just push the two top buttons on the controller together “if you want to change it from controlling it with the P-HZ to actually controlling the temperature up and down (in Celsius) & to go on by itself when it falls below the temperature as a normal thermostat.
    Another tip if your diesel tank runs empty, after refilling it, You can push the 2 Bottom buttons together & then the “up” Button on the right side, And that will continuously pump the fuel to Bleed the Air out of the fuel line.

      It's a 2.75 car garage. I have the walls insulated. It takes a reddy heater and a couple electric heaters to get me above 60 in 20 degree weather. I currently use the electrics to maintain temp., but will eliminate them once I get the deisel heaters hooked up. Hey a little cleaning tip. About every 500 hours or so, I crank up the heater and shoot some air from my air compressor through the intake to clean it out. 4 or 5 short blasts is all it takes and you're good for a while.

  • @74willy81
    @74willy81 4 года назад +8

    The fuel filter is installed incorrectly, it is backwards.
    HZ mean cycles per second, this means that if you have the fuel pump set for 1.6 HZ it is pulsing at the rate of 1.6 pulses per second.
    What you refer to as an air cleaner is actually a silencer. It would be wise to install something that does act as an air cleaner since a bug going into the air inlet can plug up a small orifice leading to the burner which will render the unit unable to start.
    It is also important to note that an infrared thermometer is only accurate when directed towards something that emits infrared radiation effectively. Different surfaces will display varying amounts of infrared emissivity. Shiny surfaces are bad, black is good as are most liquids including water.
    Place a shiny stainless pan on the stove, take a reading when it's dry then put some oil or water in the pan to see the difference.
    Great little heaters, I've used them in long haul trucks for decades but the German ones were too expensive for my own use. Now have several of the excellent Chinese heaters in my work shops at home.
    Cute little pups you got there, looks like a full time job!

      The small hole on the edge of the muffler needs to be pointed down as well,,,it's a drain ,,just like one on a car muffler. Just a anouther suggestion put your air intake inside and add a piece of thin foam around it.
      That will suck in warm air istead of cold air from outside making your heater have to work less plus it will be quiter with the foam on it. Something like you'd find on the outside of a round lawn mower filter,,,, is kinda what I'm talking about. I'm sure you've seen those before ? Might even find one that fits the silencer you have with the kit,,never know,,,,,,

Since they are so quiet would it be better to get the all in one w cabinet/handle since you do have all the stuff in the living area anyway as far as noise etc? If so wonder which one is best.

      @@TheLowlyTraveller You guessed wrong. The surface area of the cup side is larger in order to handle debris that are filtered out. You have little filtration area for debris to collect mounted the way you have it installed. That is why fuel filters have a right and wrong way of flow. The dirty side should always have the largest surface area, don't need much on the clean side.
