Im not so sure about the steam coming from the exhaust. It could be the length of pipe restricting the gas flow and so not burning the fuel compleatly.

You can use used car oil and add 10% diesel or kerosene, then add 130% water, but the water must be ionized, then put the entire amount in a blender until the color of the milk becomes white. Of course, it is preferable to filter the used car oil before using it, and the best thing is to use the centrifugal process with a strong magnet. You will have a very clean combustion and it will burn 100/💯 without clogging the device from the inside with carbon, and the exhaust will also be clean and the amount of fuel will double by adding ionized water. I use 300 grams of Senap Mild to bind the ionized water with diesel, used oil, or kerosene.🎉🎉🎉🎉😂

Senap Mild

You can use used car oil and add ten percent diesel or crosene, then add 130 percent water, but the water must be ionized, then put the entire amount in a blender until the color of the milk becomes white. Of course, it is preferable to filter the used car oil before using it, and the best thing is to use the centrifugal process with a strong magnet.

I think , but I'm a nobody 😂 the exhaust and intake need to be the same length to balance the combustion, while I agree in large your exhaust looks like steam there is a part that's white more dense looking so you may find the burn isn't correct, not saying it won't or doesn't work just may coke up quicker?

Hi excellent vid. I've just ordered a heater and the transformer and relay as I want to build the same set us as u have in the vid. Could u please reply to my comment with a pic of the wiring ....relay , transformer and battery or a pic of a diagram of the wiring ? Can I also ask can I leave a trickle charger on the battery while the heater is running and what size of battery is best ? Many many thx in advance.

Great video. But I tried the Link to the radiator but it doesn't work. Where did you get the Radiator? Thanks .

100% put it outside mate

Just use natural gas like the rest of us. Diesels expensive

Solar panel kit there is nigh on useless.

Hello mate can you post a wing diagram I’ve already git battery solar pv and that little blue box , wanna heat shed that I work in but not using the sockets

I think you make a plate for the top of the tank and use one of those wood stove fans that work off the heat...it will vlow around the warmth coming off the sand..

Tu va intoxiqués c est les gaz échappement

Would be great if you made a video where it included oil filled radiator

Had a thought dh can damage if electric fails in storm because it takes about 4 minutes to shut down so back up power needed battery obvious but wiring?

Use two or more 2m long exhaust pipes and create a three flow pipe (two bends & three straights) inside that larger ducting. That will give much more surface area to extract the heat.

The coffee can should be below the radiator. That will thermal syphon the water flow - easier for the pump.

The colour of those pipe elbows show just how much they restrict the gas flow.

Make a sand battery build a box around the pipe and fill with sand

I was thinking the same thing!

I noticed that this is only a 10amp switch.. the manual says that a power supply should be capable of providing greater than 20amps... has this been an issue for you?

This is a great solution.. I was running tit on a 12v power supply when we had a power outage and it started smoking within seconds.. luckily the power came back on seconds latter, but now I'm worried about a fire should the power go out longer. I was just going to put a maintenance charger on a 12v battery, and just run it on the 12v battery, but it explicitly says not to do that. This seems like a good way to make the system far safer.

Very clever idea

Great video! Been researching this for a few days. How do you connect the 24/25mm diesel heater exhaust to the radiator itself?

Hi Andy, have you had any trouble with the fuel pipe on the heater because I’ve seen a few videos where they have changed the fuel pipe. Many thanks Stu

Hi Andy, have you had any problems with the fuel pipe because I’ve seen videos where people have swapped the fuel pipe. Thanks Stu

A follow up video would be great, how did you get on.

I think that if you installed an insulation barrier under the sand and then stacked up a bunch of pipes say 1” in diameter and installed a fan with ducting to the pipes, you could then blow that heat into your room. I’d put a layer of sand between the rows of pipe to make it more effective.

could run exhaust through an old storage heater heat brick system ,that would hold the heat all day

Would you put this whole unit in your van? assumeing the intake and exhaust would be routed out to fresh air.

Can you send me the link to that pump or what model or manufacturer?

hello, I use an old battery with a battery charger (a cheap one, 4A only and approx 15 eur) and charger is set on winter charge mantain (snow flake sign). This keeps battery charged and also powers the heater. Extra power needed for start and stop (glow-plug heating) will be draw from battery and then recharged

loving the 230v mains twisted together with a bit insulting tape outside and next to a heating unit that will have many thermal cycles. quality work Darwin would be proud.

It's good idea, but i don't call it FREE 😊

That is a good idea I would love to do the same thing to heat my house

To avoid and flow restriction issues, I'm looking for a low cost way to connect two corrugated pipes in parallel. Y joint needed a plumbing T will defeat the object.

Very nice setup. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

I enjoy watching your quality videos about the diesel heaters. Thank you for putting the efforts to test and document your results.

You really should put another hole in the wall and recirculate the air in and of your house. I did talk to you about it last year it will be more efficient and safer if the hot air loop is completely separated from the combustion side with how you have it now all it would need is the wind to be in the right direction and all the flumes are coming in your house

High Temp Black paint on copper then you can take temp readings accurately. Enjoying your videos. Thank you!😊

Pro tip - for 3/4" pipe in the US, instead of taking the flex pipe and coupling it to the copper pipe, add a copper coupler to the pipe and put the flex pipe over the coupler and clamp it down. It creates a much tighter fit and in conjuction with exhaust sealent, should make a leak-proof fit with the clamp. I used two clamps, one on the coupler copper side and one of the flex tube end that connects to the copper coupler.

Every litre of diesel burnt will create a litre of water (as steam) plus a smaller amount of waste products such as tar. By cooling the exhaust the steam will convert back into water while it is still inside the pipe extension you fitted so it might be a good idea to run your heat capture device on a slight downhill gradient.

Got mine running now andy. The fuel consumption is very low. 12 hours run time and still fuel left in tank!

e5 and e8 errors two heaters on kerosene third on red diesel no issues

Have you experimented with used engine oil/cooking oils?

Nice job Andy, the worst part is filling it .

Andy can you do a video of how you wired it all up, what wire you used etc for us novices
