Thank you!

I'm keeping that one, thank you. 😁😁👍👍

Hi Matthew, hope it goes well, as per the vid these units are not without their teething issues. 👍👍

Thanks NAthan. 👍

😁👍

HI Ricky, good advice thank you. 👍

Why thank you kind sir, one does ones best. 😁👍

Hi Dan, do it, they're awesome. 👍

Hi Richard, yea its the pump that gets me.

Hi Tony, yes but it does a damn fine, 30 mins of full power then I drop it to min for a bit, depends on the outside temp. I always end up warm though. 👍

My pleasure Ted. 👍

Isn't that exaust hose a little bit too close to installation wires? It surely gets hot...

No problems at all Mischa

@@GTWoodshop Awesome, thanks for your quick reply. Only have to check for the right location to put it. In short until now I found out it should have a max 1m (3ft) fuel line and the pump should be in a 30-45 degree angle, flow direction facing up. Mine has a separate tank (15L) as I want to mix in waste oil in a 2:1 ratio (diesel/oil).

Hi FBW, I bet constant heat has its draw backs as well. 👍👌

Hi K (that's a bit Men in Black), thank you. Oh yes, that went in before the heater, that stuff kills quicker than my jokes at the Dinner Table. 😁👍

Hi Cebas, awesome. Toasty warm from here on in. 👍

@@GTWoodshop good 😊 i just looked outside at my van...it snow ❄ here my windshield all clair can't wait to feel what it feels like inside lol

Sounds like a good idea CB, just have to silence the pump.

Hi Soggz, appreciate the info, thanks. 👍

Hi Mumblix, top description, although I've never experienced that I agree the pump click does resonate, badly. 👍

@Snappy Corn I did it twice. Who the hell are you, a retired Stasi agent?

​@@MumblixDid you grow up in East Germany in the 1970's 😆

Hi Alden, yes good point. I've been told someone even made a home water heater that the exhaust pipe went through. It is wasted energy though you're right. 👍

Hi Oguzhan, thank you. 👍

Hi Grant, thank you, top idea. 👍

Hi Stuart, I tried two PSU's, one 10 amp, lasted a couple of months, one 20 amp, lasted about 9 months. Battery so far about 12 months. Maybe they we're two cheap??

If mains power fails, the heater will experience sudden shutoff rather than phased cool down as it is designed to do to avoid failure. A battery or UPS is better to prolong its life, I think.

So at level 2 the engine is pulsing 2 times per second? That's neat.

Hi Shaun, good point. Thanks 👍

Hi Stirfry, I fired her again again a few weeks ago to take the chill off. There's a wonderful warming feeling just hearing it running in the background, and 30 mins later I'm turning it down. Works a treat, no maintenance. Yes indeed I would do it again. 👍

@@GTWoodshop I'm sold! Thanks a million

Hi Marcus, I wrapped the exhaust in tin foil which seems to have done the trick, no fires for nearly two yrs. 👍👍

@@GTWoodshop Great - and thank's for your quick reply.

Hi Mark, thank you. Still going, 2yrs on, no probs as yet. 👍

Hi Clay, approx the same size as my workshop, 15 x 30 so absolutely. 👍

Hi John, if I could direct towards this video it will fully answer that question. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtmJZraI0rGxYqc.html 👍

Hi Crouton, thank you. My Shop is 10mtr x 5mtrs, I turn the heater on first thing to around 4 - 4.5hz for around 30mins. That takes the chill off enough so I can start work. If its a really cold day I'll leave it on the minimum for a while, Sometimes I need to give it around boost in the afternoon but a lot of the time the machines help maintain the temp. 👍

@@GTWoodshop Thanks so much for the reply!! I have a 5th wheel RV I'm living in full time that is just over 400 square feet, which, if I'm doing my math correctly, is almost 13 square meters less than your shop. I was just curious how adequate this unit might be. My thought was to set one of these up outside and pipe the air into the RV with insulated duct, therefore eliminating the noise and carbon monoxide concerns. I'm in an off grid location, and while diesel is more expensive than propane here, the electricity required to power my furnace is more than this unit draws. I could then alternate between propane during the day (when the sun is out and producing more power than my batteries need), and this unit at night with less draw on the batteries and dry heat. I can also use a wall mounted propane heater that doesn't require any electricity, but then I'd have to deal with condensation issues. I may end up doing all three, just to have options and redundancy in case one system goes down. Anyway, thank you again for your reply! I've also watched your modifications/improvements video... Fantastic info!! 👍👍

@@crouton976 Hi Crouton, you're most welcome. Sounds like an idyllic life, if you could add a workshop. 👍

@@GTWoodshop That's the plan, eventually... I figure a 40' shipping container and some clever planning will be a decent size to start with. 😂

👍 Good call.

Hi Michael, thank you. Yes it is a wooden wall, so I drilled the hole about 50mm larger than the exhaust and used 'Tin Foil as a gap filler and insulator, wrapped around the pipe multiple times along with scrunched up pieces to fill it up.

@@GTWoodshop Thank you

Impressed by your modifications, and the heater seems suitable for heating a workshop area I use as a brewery. I'm fixing insulation and lining the walls, preparing to have it completed before Autumn. Anyway I've ordered one from your link at Amazon £84.14p. Thanks again.

Thanks for taking the time

@@paulmills1605 You're welcome.

Hi Blackdog, yes you could, but you would have to site it in a waterproof enclosure, and yes the battery could be charged by solar. On the downside you would not recalim heat from the exhaust. 👍

Hi Weng, thank you, I'll check it out.

Hi Gareth, I have heard lots of people say you must feed the burner with Air from out so it has plenty of Oxygene to burn. I haven't done that, both Air intakes are inside the Shed. I have no issues running it at all, so far. Very pleased with it.

@@GTWoodshop I think the other reason for having inlet outside is that when it's inside it will cause a small vacuum sucking cold air into the building. I think the effect would be minor but on a building that's not air tight you might notice a draft

Hi Hull, if you add extra foam on the pump mount to dampen the ticking noise then it's no more than 12" fan or blow heater would make. In fact once you're accustomed it's quite comforting. 👍

Hi Robert, no, it has plenty of air. 👍

Hi Lee, sorry to hear you got one of the few faulty units that 've heard about. Its a shame a few parts of the unit / build let it down but for the money I still think its worth while with a few mods. I can confirm the muffler makes a lot of difference, mine is almost silent with the muffler on. Hope you get your replacement soon. 👍

@@GTWoodshop replacement arrived today, and all good no leaks. Shed is nice and toasty ready for wife to use in the winter 👍

@@leegilbert7551 HI Lee, awesome news mate, delighted for you. That's got to be major brownie points for you!!! 😁😁😁🎈

Hi Bachir, I think its a great little heater and would be capable of heating a small apartment, but I would mount it outside to reduce the noise inside I think.

HI Just Me, I believe I tracked it down on Ebay, 1 meter length if memory serves. 👍

Hi Clive, yes I am, I've piped mine through 18mm ply, rockwall insulation and then through loglap / Cedar Shingle. In both cases I've used ordinary kitchen tin foil wrapped around the pipe and scrunched in the hole. Worked a treat for nearly 5 yrs. 👍

@@GTWoodshop Thank you for your advice! It sounds as if the exhaust pipe isn't as hot as I feared.

Hi Kolas, if memory serves they were 6 - 10mm??

@@GTWoodshop many thanks for the quick reply

Hi Funkey, I did try running one on a 10amp PSU for a while but it blew two of them. The battery seems to cope really well. 👍

@@GTWoodshop ahhhhh it's to cold to knob about with that, just take out the fuse and wire in a bit of un insulated cable! added warmth and light :) also... don't do that. sometimes there is too much warmth and light. plus the wife may moan abit when you set light to the ranch.

Hi Casy, no I'm not, in 2yrs its not been a problem, still going strong and working perfectly. 👍

Hi Jamie some of those questions answered in my latest offering. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtmJZraI0rGxYqc.html

It becomes kinda comforting after a while, bit like an old Grandfather clock.

HI Neil, if you watch the 2nd vid you'll see I've moved the heater and mounted it on a bracket on the wall, with the Air intake pipe pointing to the left side of the heater just taking air in from inside the workshop. As its such a big space I'm not worried about Oxygen levels. If it was in a much smaller space or in a van for example I would have routed it outside. 👍

Thanks, I’ve just watched the 2nd video, neat fitting.

@@neilhopkins8673 Thanks Neil. 👍

Hi, I’ve just fired my heater up for the 1st time, I was surprised how much smoke came from the exhaust outlet, do you have to go through the prime sequence every time you use it?

@@neilhopkins8673 Hi Neil, absolutely not and that's where all the smoke came from, unburnt fuel from priming in the firing chamber. IT should be much less and clearer next time. Congrats mate. 👍😎

Can you explain a bit more Andy, what won't it do exactly.?

Hi Randy, sure you can. 👍

@GT Woodshop cheers thank you

Always Insulate, I drilled a larger hole and ran the exhaust tube inside an outer metal tube.

@@GTWoodshop Thanks for clarifying. I was just thinking to wrap it in the exhaust heat proof wrap and stick it straight through. It’s only one layer of red brick. Do you think it will be okay? Thanks

@@SumiteSCPSounds ok, just make sure nothing flammable next to it.

@@GTWoodshop cheers mate

Understood. 👍

Hi Kennyo, I tried to do something similar with an extended exhaust pipe but it caused problems. I wondered if I extended the pipe size to maybe 50mm?? maybe it would work. My idea was to run a pipe along one wall and then out at the other end. 👍

@@GTWoodshop Yes i heard you had to up the size pipe if you made it longer

Hi Shaun, in a smaller space absolutely, in my space it seems to be quite happy pulling air from inside. Probably because I'm in and out all day letting in oxygen each time. 👍

Hi Mick, yea it is a nuisance, however I had a spare battery conditioner from one of my bikes I wasn't using.👍

Just a recommendation, land a 20amp dc power supply from Amazon. They are inexpensive and you can adjust the voltage a bit. Power it with your ac outlet on the wall and call it done. Just a thought. Looking at doing one of the 5kw heaters for my garage and this is how I will power mine, I have a handful of the power supplies sitting around from other projects.

@@wadebrewer7212 Hi Wade, I did run it on a 20amp PSU for a few months but it failed in what I thought was a short period of time. I've had a Diesel Heater running off a battery for more than 2yrs without issue. I feel safer with the battery. I'm planning on install a solar panel to charge the battery form as well. Hope the install goes well.

Sometimes the Chinese just say: "Fvckit" and it's funny when they do.
