E8 error code the first thing i check is the oil pump. I put the unit into prime and heard no ticking from pump. Ended up dirty diesel. I simply changed the pump which took 10 minutes and my heater working 100%. 💪

Thanks for the video. My heater did that twice. We have very high winds here last night and this morning. It starts but sometimes shuts off with that code. I can start it but I did notice before that, that the fuel filter looks dirty. I may just change that and check for sludge in the tank as well. Do you think that may help also.? I never would have thought about the wind. That may very well be the problem. That van is still rocking as I write this.

E-10 is normally power. Shorten the red positive lead to only what you need as it is too thin and causes voltage drop.

When it gets windy, especially wind gusts, my diesel heater stops with an 08 code. Sometimes if I take a vacuum and put it on the exhaust pipe, turn on the heater then turn on the vacuum it seems to work again for a short time till the wind blows. What do you think's going on? And you mentioned it in your video, how do you fix that? Thank you

@VanOnTour 2 жыл бұрын

More than likely you have a dip in the exhaust that's allowing condensation to gather at a low point, much like a trap below a sink. This is stopping the heater venting. Either straight the exhaust so it is gradually downhill all the way or drill a small hole in the base of the low point to allow water to drain.

Anyone just not pumping round in quantity seems to air lock then gives up , even with it disconnected from the heater pitiful just not squirting

@@VanOnTour only thing is kerosene reduces the life of the fuel pump. Due to the way these pumps work they rely on lubrication from the diesel/red diesel etc. A kerosene / diesel mix provides the best of both worlds, cleaner burn of kerosene and the lubrication of diesel

The pumps need no lubrication. This has been discussed and proven in great length on the Chinese diesel heater group on Facebook. Kerosene is just a slightly purer form of diesel.

You just destroyed the valve. When diesel hits the valve it wil close on the round surface of the cap, when there is no diesel hitting the valve and breathing air is needed, the valve wil come down and air flows by the valve ( 2 little openings at the stem of the valve) . Now diesel can spil through the hole you cut at the top of the valvestem.

@VanOnTour 3 жыл бұрын

Besides the point. It wasn't letting air in, it was faulty and who fills them to the brim anyway? That's just asking for problems. It now breathes and I get no seepage from it even if the tank is near full. This video has also helped many people out with the same problem. It's now a known problem (to many of us anyway).

Then took apart again to clean for soot, Thought that was clogged again from soot pipe, From this point hr started to work 5 minutes blowing cold air and coming with 03. I quit. Bought a new one. And again with a new one 08 comes again. Some KZfaqr advised to make the hose short, from pump to heater. Mine was for about 8 inch, also pushing diesel with bubbles. Made it for about 3-4 inch, Some bubbles still a coming, But heater finally works. You gonna say it was about the clamps, Some air came thru pump... Right now the hoses to pump and from pump to heater are without clamps. On the old one hoses where tided with clamps.p
