My greatest video of all time

Gaskets, glow plug and atomizer

In this video I tear apart my Chinese diesel heater after a year of heavy use to clean it and replace the glow plug, atomizer and gaskets. If your heater isn't blowing as hot the atomizer is likely plugged with soot, if the atomizer is plugged the burner is likely in need of cleaning as well. If your glow plug is bad you'll likely get an error saying so.

This was great information. Thanks for sharing! I'm planning to switch from Mr Heater propane heaters to a diesel heater in my van before next winter, but have been a bit concerned by the number of people I have heard say they received no directions or directions that were basically useless. It's always nice to have an idea what's what before jumping into a project!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll post a video that explains everything the instructions don't.

It’s impressive how simple and efficient the heater is. I’d be curious to see a Wabasco taken apart to see if there is a huge difference in quality for the price differential. Nice job on the video.

@FrugalOffGrid 2 жыл бұрын

Wabastos are built a bit better but these Chinese versions are about 1/10th the cost. The wabasto is also a bit smaller.

Thank you for this video. We are looking to get a heater on our sailboat to extend our boating season...hmmm

Great info! I bought one of these this winter on your advice, been using it in my RV in the high Arizona desert works great so far! Would definitely like to see more info on how to use it since it came with nearly useless instructions lol

Nice job! I have one question, though; I didn't see if you cleaned out the tiny hole by the place where the atomizer and glow plug goes. A lot of people miss that tiny hole. Just wondering, thanks.

happy to hear it, I used BG conditioner. It's not perfect but it sounded smoother today. Maybe it will continue to improve.

I think the detailed video would be helpful to an audience beyond off grid and homestead people, so yes, make the video.

On the high setting how long does this actually last on a gallon of diesel? And have you ever tried running it on anything else? Used motor oil, ATF, cooking oil...

@FrugalOffGrid 2 жыл бұрын

I run the one in my shop that's not even insulated on high for at least 2 days. It's not as good as my wood stove but if I insulated it's all I'd need. In my van I rarely turn it above level 3 of 10 and it keeps me super comfortable for about 3 days. I've only run fuel.

How long did you operate this before having to do this? Was there a kit to do this?

@FrugalOffGrid 2 жыл бұрын

I ran this for a year and it actually didn't need cleaned out so much. If you blocked the exhaust though you might need to do it sooner. The atomizer definitely needed replaced and the glow plug was on the way out. The kit is in the video description.
