    It's 2am in Montana and I'm trying to determine exactly why I'm going to freeze to death tonight. Really frustrating that it worked great this morning but gives up after 0.1 seconds now on an 18-degree night.

    Thanks for a very helpful video. Just bought a Mack Anthem with a bunk heater and am having problems that you described. I will look at the filters and intakes to see if they are clogged or dirty and maybe solve the problem.

    My wabasto hade a 1 blink code( no ignition) I pulled the air intake pipe and exhaust pipe from bottom of unit still mounted in truck. I sprayed 1/2 can of carb cleaner in strong bursts into both holes until clean fluid drained. Waited an hour for it to evaporate and it worked. Blew white smoke for about 30 minutes but it cleared up and all is well.

    Great video very helpful. So basically by the fuel line being so small it's actually a factory defect. The fuel is going to gel when it's actually cold enough to need the bunk heater. All of this stuff just made half ass. Add that to a company truck that won't idle and it sucks. Then you buy something for the truck for which they will reimburse you but they make it difficult for you to get the money back. Either way I guess I will try the anti-gel first.

    @cheesepaper3031 3 года назад

    That little hole he showed. If its smoking out the tube and just wont get a flame started anymore after 5 start attempts. It's now completely clogged with carbon and wet fuel. A quick way to get it started so you don't freeze and hopefully the heater isn't tucked in a stupid spot (kenworth/volvo). Is completely power off the espar, pop the intake hose off, pop the cover, carefully slide the boot up the glow plug wires (the glow plug is expensive dont break the wires), take a large paper clip and put a small 90 degree bend at one end, use it and a flashlight to feel down the side of the plug chamber for that tiny hole and clean it out (side closest to the plastic body), slide the boot back over, pop cover on and it should light. Hopefully. If it does get somewhere for a new screens. Its only a temp fix. I believe after 2018 the hole is on top of the screen and the paperclip should poke right through. Pre 2018 its covered by the screen and will take some persistence digging the junk out. If it's not smoking out the exhaust when trying to start, then dont do this. Something else is wrong. Also dont keep trying and trying to get it to start. The control module will lock the unit and will need a diagnostic tool to unlock. I believe its 15 times after the last flame.
