What an ideal spot for our Eberspacher Airtronic D2 Diesel heater.
Located to blow warm air down our entire galley and into our garage.
Hidden in the floor under what always becomes a step and a wasted area.
Located close to the diesel tank for the shortest of fuel line runs.
Located away from any road spray and debris.
Located using many fixing areas already available on the underside of the van.
Located for ideal induction and exhausting.
WELL CHUFFED!

Thank you for this video. I’m currently converting a Peugeot Boxer and this looks like a great place for me to fit the diesel heater too.

So glad it was of use for you Tobias. It really was the easiest of installs I'd been putting off for an age. I've seen people picking up their diesel through the knuckle of the breather pipe, although not a bad job for me to take out the sender unit, I would have really considered this perhaps as an easier option. Best wishes, Paul

I thought lots of people had covered how to fit a diesel heater Willem but the location of this one really made for easy installation so was worth a mention. I hope what I'm doing is of interest and use. I like to think I am integrating some overlanding ideas which may appeal to some and hopefully make a vanbuild more suitable for today's vanlifestyle.

Hi Roy and thank you for reaching out. I was absolutely Sh1tt1ng myself during this part of the process, the 10 minute window odly factors in distortions that may occur for whatever reason that can make re-fitting very difficult. I made sure my fuel tank was very low and had all tools set up and at hand.... 7 minutes later it was back in place. It is a process but all went well. I later learned that many people now take the easier route of accessing through the removable knuckle of the breather pipe. Had I known I may have taken this route. Best wishes, Paul

When drilling the box section buddy for the bracket for the pump what screws did you use ? Great job by the way

Hey Sean and thank you for watching and your kind comments. No drilling was required Sean. There was already an existing 8mm rivnut in the box section. I found it quite an easy install because most of the fixings I used were already existing. I did though have to drill the bit of alloy angle I used and then used some 6mm stainless fixings. Do get in touch if I can help anymore.

That's a shame Ian. It's not uncommon to fit under the drivers seat. I'm sure you'll make it work.

Nice job. Has your fuel guage frozen at all? Some modern cars, if you syphon fuel out the tank, the digital fuel guage freezes. I don't know why but have seen it several times. Used to work in the trade. So have been wondering if you hook one of these heaters up to the main tank in a modern van, would it happen. Cheers

Hi and thank you for your kind comments. All seems to be working well. This is a dedicated supplied kit by Eberspacher so I would have expected if there were problems it would be well documented. The only thing I may have done different....is that so.e people have inserted their pick up pipe through the "knuckle" of the breather pipe. This negates taking the sender unit out and drilling it. I would have considered this as easy option. Luckily for me, removing the sender unit went without any drama.

Hi did you plumb fuel line into main fuel tank? If so how was it? Thanks you

I did Marty and it was nerve wracking! I drained the tank low as it has been documented that if full it can make fitting the sender back in difficult. Then removed the sender using the correct tool rather than breaking lugs off with a hammer and block of wood... This was tight and worked best using a knuckle bar. You've then got minuted to drill and fit the pick up pipe, as taking too long can again distort the threads for re-fitting???? All went well and as planned! It was then I learnt that it's easier to just remove the breather pipe and fit the pick up pipe through the top of the breather pipe. Happy that fuel comes direct from my tank as always have a good supply.

Hi.. Just about to fit a diesel heater and considering using feed to main tank... Have just watched a vid (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fq56lLOBl9uwdnU.html) where at 2:55 the chap scrolls through what appears to be an instruction manual.. and at the top on line 5 it states that upon removal of sender unit, you have 10 mins to complete the opreration..? Does that sound correct to you...? I am assuming that the whole operation 'ie' removal , drilling, fitting outlet and replacement would take longer than 10 mins..? interested in your response. TIA
