    Diesel Heater On All Night

    Have to be honest on both occasions we were parked on a windy beach car park on the coast of Fife, ideal for wind turbines but perhaps not so good for diesel heaters. Hopefully the problem has been addressed.

    Diesel Heater On All Night

    Thanks for getting back on this one it is so reassuring that it's not just me. The only heating we had before in our previous vans was one ring or two and the heating in this van the fan didn't work properly so we are quite new to this warm van game but are getting used to it very quickly.

    Diesel Heater On All Night

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their input. I never really thought it was carbon monoxide building up in the van as I was very careful when fitting all the pipework and making sure the joints were tightly fitted. The main reason for asking the question was had...

    Diesel Heater On All Night

    Hello David, The intake is just behind the driver’s seat, the intake for the burner is under the floor, just behind the cab. Rae

    Diesel Heater On All Night

    My carbon monoxide detector is up-to-date and isn't beeping so I would presume the batteries are not flat. Below we have a picture of the exhaust. All joints were clamped together using quality clips and not the ones that were provided. Rae

    Diesel Heater On All Night

    The last 2 times we have been away I have kept the diesel heater on all night, in the morning I have woken up and not felt so good: is it a coincidence or do you think it's the heater running all night when we are asleep? Next time we stay out I am going to set the timer to come on at 7 and off...

    'Chinese' Diesel Heater

    After easing the fan away from the main body I seem to have cured the squealing noise. So with that problem, hopefully, solved the last thing I wanted to make was some sort of induction filter; this was made from cutting up a surplus car air filter, the wire gauze that you see on the outside is...

    'Chinese' Diesel Heater

    Thank you for that and yes I will take you up on your very kind offer; the problem is you're 100 miles down the road from me but next time we are in Costco I daresay we could venture a little further south, that's if we are allowed to.

    'Chinese' Diesel Heater

    Today the diesel heater error code 6 popped up that's the error code for the fan; well we knew that was going to happen at some point. Took the cover off and played about with the fan, finally got it to run so while it was running thought I would check the pump speed etc. The pump speed was 5...

    'Chinese' Diesel Heater

    David, I have not fully stripped one down but I can't see why they would not be reliable and run for years. I may strip this one down if the noise gets worse. I was tempted to hit it with something heavy just to see if the noise changed or better stopped.

    'Chinese' Diesel Heater

    I don't normally run it through the night and there was no one in the van. I'm sure the heat of 2 people in the van would have made some difference to the amount of fuel that was used; I believe you can turn the pump down, which I have not done but will be looking into.
