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.

Not many people admit or show their mistakes, hat's off to you.

Recirculate the air from inside . Fit another vent so it can draw air from the room back through the heater . Warming warm air then 👍

Possibly the funniest video ever. I got to get a press to bend my 2.5 mm brackets. I wonder how you were goina do it lol. I always use a hammer and a block of wood. Funny as

I really like your approach to using your press...slow with control!!

Thanks for sharing your mistake because everyone can learn from mistakes at one time or another. I've been watching a lot of these diesel heater installations to obtain ideas and experiences of others. Thanks again !

i luckily managed to buy a Chinese diesel heater off a guy that had lived in china ,he worked there as a English teacher ,and he bought a heater while over there , the one i got was specifically made for the Chinese market . seems to be better made ,and strangely it has 8 heat settings on it . which makes it very fuel efficient . even the fuel lines where the solid ,harder lines that most people had to upgrade to . it,s worked perfectly since i,ve had it ,that,s about  18 months now . on the lowest setting it,s so quiet .  here,s a tip for you ,i know this will sound strange ,but get a small fan and run it on low  ,and put it somewhere where the heat from the heater main heat pipe points to.  ,then  angle the fan to a space where heat does,nt reach  and it will blow the hot air even  further into the space .  i found it speeds up the heating of an area .weird i know ,but it works .

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 .

It best to mount fuel pump on a rubber a.v mount to cut down the sound and more importantly the vibration. The air intake needs to be piped from the inside ,this will improve efficiency by 50%

Great video sir. I'm currently assembling mine and I'm glad to have this info before I decide to run it for the first time

the big problem I had was the exhaust leaking on the joints solved it by using an exhaust sealer on the joints. any car part shop will have it for around £3 a tub .started to get a head ak after 1 hour of running the heater. put a co2 in workshop and was read high

Thinking about buying one of these any day now, just my luck that you uploaded this video right now :D Thank you

You made that easy bracket bending into right long job lol

I was sweeping up wood dust. My diesel heater sucked up the dusty air, then it was to hard to burn, it flamed out. I completely carefully disassembled it, cleaned it with acetone, heated right up. Burning 50% diesel, 25% motor oil, 25% gasoline.

The pump is lubricated by the fuel   by providing the angle it ensures fuel from the start  eliminating pumping dry...

Should have a fuel filter in the kit to protect the pump.

Well done for using this kit ....

Mission impossible theme would have set the mood for the job

That press was a little under powered for that bracket. I recommend at least a 50t press for that.

freezing cold intake outside......re do so you recirculate the warmed room air and take out the risk of exhaust gas in the room, insulate intake and output, the heater is designed to be inside the area being heated...
