A few pointers…. A) Mount it so it’s up off the floor about 3” B) When you first turn it on turn on High to Burn the Soot off and the adjust Heat setting. Do the same before shutting unit off. Rule of thumb about five minutes on High C) Use Kerosene instead of Diesel, It burns Cleaner. D) Carry a Spare igniter for it. They have a somewhat Short life span. Hope this helps, Stay Warm

From what I understand is kerosene lacks the lubrication that diesel does and it could be hard on the pump. I run diesel in mine with a touch of Lucas fuel treatment and it’s been running great all winter. I reprogrammed the unit to use less fuel but move more air, it was 1.8 Hz to 5 Hz range, now it’s 1.4 Hz to 4.5 Hz. I run it on its highest setting for a little while just about everyday to burn the soot out. It seems like the shut down speeds the fan up and dials back the fuel to burn off the remaining fuel. I’m not sure if it’s necessary to run it at max just before shutdown.

😂😂 Mav I’ve had my experiences with Chinese Diesel heaters, from my mistakes I would say. Your exhaust will get super hot so will melt those cables you mentioned and as it’s already done, it’s melted your green floor and could catch on fire. I would put some heat shielding around the exhaust and lift the heater off the ground so it’s not touching your floor. This isn’t coming from an expert who knows if all but from someone who has fucked up and learnt some things long the way 🤟🏼

I always wondered about introverts and extroverts... The world needs extroverts or no one would talk and/or social life as a whole will suffer.. but what use do introverts play in this world? Like why do they exist and how did they become this way through evolution or was this brought on by our ancestors of the past (working in farms all alone as an example)... not trying to be derogatory.. but I am sure others are curious as well. As an extrovert.. I yearn to be around others.. its natural.. but so many van life introverts can spend weeks alone on end in deserts and they are OK with it... just doesn't seem normal.

@@johnsnow2022 personally I just don’t enjoy large groups of people for extended amounts of time. I definitely still enjoy the company of others, just in smaller groups. But I also am comfortable enjoying my own company at times and need that break from constant social interaction as well. As for the evolution or why introverts exist, I imagine there are a lot of reasons. For example safety, like really needing to know people and establish a trust to be comfortable around them and actually trust them to be social amongst them. Definitely a spectrum of introverts as well. Being an introvert doesn’t mean you don’t like people or crave social interaction at all, that is part of being human for sure, just means you don’t crave it at the level extroverts do. I think everyone has both sides in them to a certain point and those sides show more in certain situations

Another thing... if you run it on low very often... run it on high for a little while to burn out excess soot from the burn chamber and glow plug. You're heater will thank you for it!

Diesel does NOT ignite by spark like the vapors of gasoline. Diesel is far safer and not nearly as dangerous. Dump some diesel on the ground and "light it on fire." it actually takes some seconds of constant flame to heat diesel to a high enough temp to ignite. Gasoline is not similar, in that,gasoline can ignite from a single spark to its vapors. This is why it is illegal to run your car while gassing up, but it is not illegal to run a diesel vehicle while fueling up. Just some food for thought.

Those hose clamps were for tightening the exhaust hose onto the header/outlet on the heater and the little rectangle with 2 round outlets is a muffler for the exit of the exhaust. It should also definitely not be just set on the floor. You need either a stone/concrete or metal plate under it. Or at least a decent sized air gap to keep it away from anything flammable.

Hey mav, best place to mount that type of heater in your vehicle would be in the front cab behind a seat and route the exhaust straight down through the floor board ina. Safe location. Cuts the noise down greatly and you can route the warm air through your window between front and back. I live right at the beginning of the road you bought that new house on if you ever want help setting it up. I use these things in my perm and portable ice shack. Throw 2 cycle oil in it 100:1 ratio and the pump will be quieter and last longer.

It's ok where it sets, but I never heard you say where all that diesel came from? But you need to put something at the end of your exhaust pipe instead of letting it flop around under the truck. Also some people will say you need to put a piece of metal under the heater. I say you should put a piece of fire stone under it and in front of your wiring harness you have running thur the bed by it. Because metal will still transfer all that heat to your carpet and wires.

Mav, I have been heating my Cherokee with a Camco Wave 3 L/P heater. Small 5 lb propane bottle back against the lift gate, Wave 3 heater behind the drivers seat next to the rear passenger door. I puts out a very comfortable dry heat with very little moisture. Being where you are you might want the larger Wave 6 for higher output.

Another time, get it running for an hour or so before installing. There can come a lot of smoke from the exhaust if there is any oil on it. Also put some heat insulation around the wires near the exhaust. And before permanent mounting, get some good heat shielding under the unit and anywere near the exhaust pipe.

Hey Mav you can mount that heater outside and run a duct from the output into the truck. They put out lots of heat so you wouldn't loose much with it being outside. You could make a basket that you can put up and take down to put in the roof of the cap.

Yes the heater needs to be outside and heat pumped in with the heat output hose. The heater the exhaust and fresh air intake all need to be outside. And keep the fresh air intake far away from the exhaust hose. You may have to buy a longer fresh air hose. To keep it a good distance from the exhaust. Only thing going into the truck should be the heat output hose. The bigger hose.

The fuel cap has a bleed hole so you can’t turn it over. Second wrap the exhaust with heat wrap tubing helps with heat transfer. Also make sure the heater exhaust goes downhill as condensation can collect in the exhaust cause it it to stop. I also raised my heater up 6 “ so to have enough clearance for the exhaust.

If you are worried about the artificial rug burning, grab a box knife and cut a section of the carpet out of the corner of the box for the heater to live on. If you just can't do with out the carpet, grab a sheet of ducting tin big enough for the heater to have some space on, and put it under the heater. Tin will reflect the heat up, without getting hot enough to melt the rug.

Hey mav. I use the same heater. Mount the heater on blocks to raise it up and add some tin for heat shielding. I also recommend having the cold air intake hose running out side like the exhaust. The air intake does but out some smoke upon start up and shut off. I’ve had the heater for two years with zero issues.

Hey Mav, I have installed three of these diesel heaters in my Volkswagen buses over the past couple years. I’ve had nothing but good luck with them but yeah, the preparation is everything. I would get some hvac code heat tape and seal the hole you made for the exhaust and make an elevated base for the heater in the truck. Also the intake for the heater’s combustion engine should ideally ran outside the truck. I run my exhaust and intake straight through the floor of my vw bus. I can send pictures if you’d like!
