Thanks pal. This is indeed the best resource I've found on the internet. I tried to buy you a coffee but your paypal says "This organization can't accept donations right now."

one tip. to avoid moisture buildup in your exhaust, the outlet of your exhaust pipe should be pointed downward.

Thanks mate, this is by far the best tutorial on how the diesel heater works I’ve seen. Well done.👍

Excellent video! I am a teacher here in the US, and I believe you have natural skills to communicate knowledge effectively.

Most were human error. I like watching the old diesel engineer from Australia. He has about 20 videos on how to install and how to troubleshoot diesel heaters.

Thanks for the info, Adam. I'm going to have to watch this several times to make sure I'm picking up the right messages.

That was the best explanation of those heater problems iv seen Thanks

This is really good info for troubleshooting and repair of diesel heaters. Well worth the time to sit and watch. Well done Adam

Thank you for this. Took mine apart had already 3 cups of built up soot. Cleaned and running great👍

Best video I've seen so far about these little heaters. Thanks for sharing.

Best explanation of heater operation!, thanks for the time and effort with your diagrams and animations , very concise

Thanks so much for the thorough video -- I had replaced the atomizer screen on my heater and didn't install it all the way... blocking the inlet hole and causing E10 codes. Nice animations, great video!

Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to film and share. Mack, Yorkshire, UK👍👍👍

Honestly fantastic video, just what I was looking for. Thanks for putting this together.

Watching you torture that poor heater learning these mistakes pains my soul but I'm glad you've been able to learn from them. Thank you for shairing that knowledge so others will hopefully not make the same mistakes.

Thanks! I have searched everywhere. You keeping it simple is the key. Ran out of fuel and pump failure later. Cleaned it out back running. Thanks again.

Someone else said it… ACTUAL ADVICE is an understatement. THANKYOU!

Sir, this is what every vid should look and be like. Nice work!

The only comprehensive video on KZfaq about this topic. After watching it I can say that all the other videos were a waste of time. Helped me fix my diesel heater and, more importantly, taught me how it works and how to prevent it from breaking again. Big thank you

Just to say I have added your video to my Diesel heater Playlist. Great video and explanation. Best I've seen. Deserves more views. Cheers from old George and Jane 🤠👧👫🇬🇧

I have six of these heaters. And you nailed this problem and solutions. Good explanations!

Best video I found for this problem! I've just cleaned mine in the same way and now have no white smoke. Thanks Adam great video !!

Great breakdown of the actual device and moreso the explanation behind each mistake. Thanks for being so transparent. My mind is richer due to your humility and willingness to teach.

Thank you, this is the best video, and the first where you are actually knowing what you are talking about and showing how to solve problems. Awesome !

You seriously saved my butt. Getting ready to camp in the cold and could not for the life of me get my heater to work.

Very informative video! I've had a diesel heater for years, worked on it several times and it works good for a little while. I think I failed to push the screen in all the way!!!!! Thanks!

Really helpful. Best video I found on diesel heaters and how they work. Thanks!

This is the best explanation out there I’m a put it to work I just started getting a lot of white smoke found that my diesel pump was hanging around not bolted up to where it should it’s on a semi by the way I am going to take it apart clean it and shall share the results and if good you my friend deserve a brewsky thanks

Just came across your channel. I really like how you explain things and show them. Too many people water-board u with useless crap, lol. Look forward to checking out your other videos. Take care

Hey Adam, just wanted to comment here. Thank you for the quick lesson and explanation. Just got really cold here in Nevada and went to turn on Seamus(DH Name). White smoke, no joy of lighting and E-10. I've used it in my garage bar for a single season last year, but......took it apart, took my time and found it was coked up an incredible amount of sooty goodness. Cleaned, had a beer and reinstalled. He is a happy unit now. Thank You

Oh. My. Word. FINALLY the answer I’ve spent HOURS looking for all over the internet.. that tiny hole by the glow plug screen was covered and had become clogged with carbon buildup.. cleaning it and pushing it down far enough solved all my problems. Can’t believe I didn’t find this sooner I could have saved so much cold weather and headaches haha! Thank you thank you thank you!

Thanks mate. My heater is less than two months old, and is doing this, so I'll strip it down this week.

Great advice, another cause of white smoke that happened with my heater turned out to be water in combustion air intake pipe after heavy rain even thoughit it had the filter cap, I had it pointing up and have since left it horizontal .

Excellent. I am an engineer and know you have really clearly explained the installation and long term maintenance. Your years of experience are well passed on here. Well done.

Very helpful! Mine smokes like a fog machine on start up. I thought after a few tries it needed priming. After watching your video I realized it's not getting air. Thanks for cleaning that up! Was left freezing over night last night getting made at my diesel fog machine

Excellent video and easy to understand and follow. Thankyou

Probably the best "repair" video that I have found regarding these heaters. Mine is blowing white smoke and then stops heating. Problem. It is really hard to get to to take apart!! Thank you.

The key to keeping these things running clean is bringing them up to temperature,I ramp mine up slowly till it gets the unit to 200 c,then I turn it down and even with it turned all the way down it maintains 200c and runs like a champ,and the pump pumps very slowly

Thanks pal you explained it all very well. I forgot about the mesh and the glow plug. And cleaning the tiny hole so I will be doing that tomorrow is my diesel heater is just pumping out white smoke thank you.👍

This is the best video I've seen, thank you, carbon foulded an all in one being used as a test in an ice fishing tent to dry clothing during a large event in the rain... Back to running full power to burn out the rest if the carbon

Great video! Many people have mentioned cleaning the chamber but few have demonstrated how to do it. For DIY novices I would suggest taking pictures as you disassemble the unit. Anyone can take something apart, but...😂 Cheers and thanks.

a nice relaxed and confident manner ..thank you so much

Thx, very clear explanation with the magnificient animations!

Fantastic video mate. Youve helped alot of folks with this. KZfaq at its best.

This has got tobe the easiest explaination of what goes wrong, its solved my issues, thanks. Wayne

Excellent. I've just been quoted a price for a diagnostic that is the same as a new plug and tools. It's the "smoke on start up and fail first start but runs fine" problem. Three years in, second fan. I noticed someone mentioned screen over combustion intake, I'll second that. Mudwasps filled up a fan. I'll come back with results, cheers.

Thank you for posting. Most informative video I have seen on this subject

Great video and fantastic delivery of the information too 😀 👍🏻

Best video ive ever watched well illustrated, thank for sharing and keep on posting very informative videos

Screen was covering the air inlet after glow plug replacement. Just as you described. Thank you my friend.

You solved my problem! Thank you so much! After watching your very clear advices, I removed the intake filter and the heater ignited! Sure, you are not a teacher?

Terrific video. I’m having all these problems right out of the box. I think I am flooding it with fuel. Anyway, this video has given me the confidence to strip it down, check every aspect you mention, reassemble and set it up correctly. Thank you for taking the trouble to help others.

Solid video,I'm now taking my heater apart,it ran great for 12 or so hours,then started belching white smoke and shutting down,it's getting 12 volts consistently off my battery generator,but I might order a 12v power supply and use that off the inverter instead

You’re a legend. Thank you. This is an awesome video.

Brilliant, about 7 minutes and 30 seconds into the video I realised that I had done the same, I pushed the mesh down past the air opening and it's now working perfectly, no more white smoke. Thanks Adam 👍

Thanks, very good, saved me a lot of head scratching,I reckon you must have been the inspiration for the two guys on the phone giving advice on the fosters ads.

Good stuff.....someone with experience with these things and not just an initial unboxing/install.

Great Detail and coverage. Thank You

I just took mine apart and noticed my mesh was obscuring the intake so thank you!

I love and appreciate you so much! Thank you SO much for your amazingly helpful video! Hands down the most helpful video I've watched this year! 🥰

Very good mate.thanks for giving your time to help others

Super clear explanation! Thank you very much!

bro that was so good! I dont even have a heater but Im subscribing!! Love how you break it all down and share you knowledge!! God bless you brother!~

Fantastic video, really helpful

Thank you taking mine apart this week it smokes like a train ever since it ran out of ruel

Excellent mate you solved my heater problem thanks 👍

Great video! This video confirmed what I theorized the problem was. Tomorrow is my day off and I plan on taking this heater apart and cleaning it out.

Thanks for great instructional video. I don't have a problem with mine but good to know what can go wrong. Cheers :)

This is the best video I have seen about these ever, your a Legend Mate Cheers 🍻

Nice job on workings of fuel burn.

Great video 👍👍👍 my mate got changed 560.58 for a that same problem and it was a euro model??i just had a go on mine only took an hour😂😂😂good video cheers mate👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very well explained, Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Great imfomative video. Thank you 👍

Thanks Man! I thought I was in for buying a new Heater. Instead i removed it from the Van and cleaned it like your video showed. the only thing i couldn't do was remove the screen by the glow plug. Instead I just washed it out with some great cleaner I have. It started up and worked great.

I used to have hair like yours, but i have pulled it all out trying to figure out this heater!! lol Mine has been billowing smoke from brand new and I installed it exactly as instructed. What you said at the end might be my problem - too long and too thin of a power wire 🤔 If this is in fact my problem, I will definitely buy you a beer my friend 🍻 Great video, thank you 🙏

Thanks for great instructional video now i knows where ta looks for me heater troubles🙂

Brilliant!! Never wud have diagnosed dat as a problem. Thanks heaps!!

Brilliant just brilliant, very clever guy 🙏

Excellent video. Thanks forvthe help. 👍

Seeing your video reminded me to give them a ring peace out

Excellent video bud. My heater is still in the mail but ill be far ahead of the game with a extra set of gaskets and glow plug.

Thanks! This also worked for mine (I was doing all the same things wrong too). But you forgot to mention that EVERYTHING will be black with soot after you complete this cleaning job. Your clothes, your gloves / hands, your tools, your work space. Do this in clothes you no longer want. Over a tarp. With a white garbage bag (so you can see the soot). And have lot of shop rags handy. Don't touch your mom's couch after.

Good video, I have just bought one of these, some handy hints

Great Video! Thank you very much.

Excellent video . Thank You .

Thanks bro, fantastic tutorial 👍

Great great video. Thank you for this. Super informative

Fantastic video. Thank you.

Great Stuff Adam in never thought about the pushing the Burner mesh past the Hole all the way to be seated at the bottom fixed my problem after a 5 year service 😀and the Chinese may have caused it cheers keep up the good work Mick 😀😀

Awesome stuff. Sharing is caring. Thanks mate

Good video. Thanks for all the info. Cheers

Well done 👍 mate.

Awesome video bro

Thanks for all the information 👍 🎉🎉

Thank you, very helpful video

Nice and informative thanks

great video...very helpful...cheers 👍

excellent video, bromigo

The tiny air intake hole for the glow-plug is the path for fuel leakage when the heater is operated on its side (the wrong side, with glowplug facing downwards - whereby the blown cabin air will eventually contain diesel fumes) - it's not 'leaky' or faulty, it's why correct positioning is key.
