Another thing to consider is the fuel filter. I’d personally place it before the pump incase you do get chunks or debris of sorts in your tank to keep it out of the pump.

This was just a test rig, it's installed before the pump in a later installation video.

These are great heaters and been running one for 5 years in the van no problems with the unit itself but have a few tips to share with everyone that might be useful. I didn't like the idea of drilling a hole at the bottom of the tank on mine so i drilled one at the top on the same side as the filler cap and let hose drop to the bottom inside from the weight of the pickup plus a big nut to keep it grounded and works perfect. Ditch the green hose as soon as you can its not good for a couple of reasons. 1. It breaks down and splits after a year or so spraying diesel in all the worst places imaginable. 2. This applies mainly if there's a bit distance between tank, pump, and heater but for the best reliability and performance i recommend replacing with a fuel safe hard plastic pipe joined with small rubber sections over the top where required, the soft pipe included expands slightly each time the pump pulses causing low pressure. This can also be a reason for a fuel error code with soft pipe on long runs. 3. Most of the clips i had are rubbish and replaced all of them for better ones especially on the exhaust side but don't know if there any better on newer models. 4. You'll end up running it on the lowest setting for hours its unavoidable it puts out that much heat, i recommend before shutdown give it 5 - 10 mins on full power to burn off any build up inside the burn chamber. 5. Get a Carbon monoxide alarm for small less ventilated areas just encase the worst case scenario were to happen and a leak started. From a van perspective there's loads of experiments possible from making sound deadening enclosures to silence the pump, water heating or if your handy with electronics is hooking the controller up to an arduino or less technical an electric GSM gate opener on a long lasting pay as you go sim allowing you to turn it on or off by phone, handy say if your far away and want a preheat a van on those freezing nights or mornings. 6. Red diesel is a slightly cheaper option if you have a fuel station near by.

Awesome tips, cheers. I would drill a hole in the filler cap of the tank and push the fuel line through that. You could even put your filter on the end of the fuel line inside the tank. Throw the plastic tank away and get a bigger metal one. You could even re use a car diesel tank and wire up the fuel sender and dashboard guage, lol.

Great video. They run better if you have the unit inside. They re-circulate the air and heat up the area quickly. If you have a unit outside it will be heating cold air.

Brilliant presentation- ta, mate. I live in Ohio USA and have an old Ford truck, 6.5 ft long bed with an old 3 ft high aluminum cap with crank open windows. I've purchased the VEVOR 2kw. Our winters can be from -5 F (-15 C?) to 20 F (-7 C?) quite often. I was going to utilise a sealed wood box that is open toward the inside of the truck bed. The box contains the diesel heater that is mounted upon my tailgate as the tailgate is in a fixed down position. With the heater on brackets within the box so that it is 6-8 inches (18 cm?) from the bottom I was only going to route the exhaust pipe out of the box and allow the intake air to be sucked in from the truck bed/cap area. The truck bed with this cap is not air tight and I planned to crack the windows open when sleeping. Tim P & Graham in comments below (about 2 months ago) discuss this- nonetheless at age 71 on Parkinson medications I confess to being a bit thick. In my mind this design would alleviate almost any chance of pulling in exhaust fumes because I would be utilising inside air through the bottom of the heater from inside the bed & cap. Any thoughts from you and/or Tim P or Graham. Ta-

I use 2 of these to heat a 460 sq. ft. shop with 12 ft ceilings. They work well even in below zero F. temps. One thing, the filter should go between the fuel tank and the pump so gunk doesn't clog the pump. Other than that you have done an excellent video.

Hi Martin, a few tips from a user with one in his garage. Those fuel tanks have a nasty habit of splitting on the seams after a while. Don’t be concerned about bubbles in the fuel line - the pump creates it by cavitation. If you want better control look for an Afterburner unit - wish I had one! Never just unplug the power, the power down cycle is very important. I have mine running off a power supply as they don’t like low voltage from batteries running down. I did try solar charging a couple of car batteries but they never got recharged in the winter with the heater running - obviously I need more solar panels…. Nice little units, I keep a set of gaskets to service the burner chamber as well.

Mount it inside as Simon pointed out and just run the intake and exhaust outside. It pulls in air from the back of the unit and you’ll be heating cold air. The combustion chamber is sealed so flames not an issue and it pulls air in for combustion from outside and the exhaust pipes outside. I have one in my small school bus I’ve converted and they work great.

I put mine outside and piped the hot air inside and it works perfectly. Like you I use a car battery to power it, but I fitted a 100watt solar panel to the workshop roof (£80 brand new) and that keeps the battery charged. In fact, it worked so well I added 12v led lighting, 12v USB ports for phone charging and wired in a car stereo and speakers. My tools are mostly cordless, so I only need mains power when they need charging, so it keeps my costs right down.

Running the 5kW/8kW Version (also by Vevor) for 2 years now in my workshop. Typically it's running 7-8hrs non-stop 2-3 days a week during fall/winter. No issues so far. Unit is on the inside. Extended the exhaust with 35mm flexible steel hose. Also added a second silencer. If you do that, make sure to use two different types - otherwise there will be no effect. Amazed how little fuel it's using! WAY cheaper than an electric heater or LPG.

Great viseo Martin. Place it all inside so you are recirculating warm air through the system. This will enable you to use it at a lower output and save fuel. Vent your exahst outside about 1 meter away from any vents or openings, to keep posiones gasses out. I usesd the flexy hose, then silenser, then 22mm copper pipe and lagged it with exaust wrap where it exits the garage. Keep deisel tank indoors as warmer fuel burns more efficiant. I have one of these, 8kw version. My god it makes my tandem garage/workshop really warm. Great vid. It is 100% the safrer way to save energy at the moment.

Great video! I enjoyed watching as I am planning the same installation in my workshop. I currently have one in my adventure vehicle which is awesome! Only two points in your set up (in my opinion) could be improved. Firstly your fuel filter will also protect the pump if you locate it between the tank and pump. The other point is about the fuel line between pump and heater would benefit from being narrower so that a higher pressure is achieved with each pulse from the pump which will increase overall burning efficiency. Have a toasty winter!

I am fortunate enough to have a basement in my house. I have one of these heaters in the basement, with the output fed into a network of ducting that puts the hot air through the floors into the rooms downstairs. Exhaust goes outside, and the main air intake has some ducting that pulls the air across a joiner sleeve in the outlet ducting to pre heat. I have a egr cooler from a Mercedes and that scavenging from the exhaust producing hot water for another heat exchanger in a smaller room we have. I have a 3 port valve in the fuel feed that allows me to start the heater on diesel, once hot I switch over to anything I can find, waste veg oil with a bit of petrol or diesel mixed in, will produce great heat and burn indefinitely so long as you start on derv first and get it nice and hot before switching over. A few minutes before shutting down I switch back to diesel so it's primed and ready for an easy start next time. Brilliant units.

I buy quite a lot of equipment from Vevor and can highly recommend them. They carry a huge range of diesel heaters. There's pages of them on their website. One thing I would say is they always quote around a weeks delivery but in fact it's usually must faster. Just about everything I've ever bought from them has been delivered the next day if I've ordered in the morning.

Great vid, I’ve been umming and arring for a while. Think I’ll have to go for it in the new year when my patience for cold hands and toes wears thin 😂

I doubt if the plastic fuel tank is UV stable for outdoor use. It would likely turn brittle and fracture if exposed to sunlight. Probably a better idea to use a pair of steel jerry cans as fuel tanks. Make a removable vented bung for the fuel neck of the jerry can so it can securely hold a metal pipe that reaches down to the bottom of the can. Connect the other end of the pipe to the the fuel pump fuel line. No need to pour any fuel, just swap the cans over. You can always have as many full cans as you need on standby. For the bung you could modify a removable jerry can filler spout.

I have one of these in my garage martin but its a complete unit as in I can carry it like a suitcase but why I'm texting is you need a 240v to 12v transformer off ebay for about £20 then it will run off the mains. But the main reason I'm writing is that the old oil i get from serving my cars i filter through a paint strainer and mix it 30/70 with diesel. 70% diesel. And it runs perfect. Not sure if you could maybe even go 50/50
