Hi , first thank you for all your experiements... I'm trying to figure out a way I could use the exhaust heat to warm up my preston in my truck in winter ... so heating the cab and heating the engine both at the same time... Have you tried this experiement ? thanks!

You say there is no difference between the 5 and 8Kw heaters. I bought an 8kw for the camper (before I knew better) and it chases me out in any sort of weather warmer than -5*c on the minimum heat setting (level 1 out of 1 to 10) I have that cheesy three button controller (No alpine/plateau mode). With that I am able to tell the heat exchanger runs around 135 to 143*c on minimum. I'm looking at replacing the 8Kw with the 5kw as I'm concerned the 2Kw wouldn't have enough oomph.... Does a 5Kw heater run "cooler" on the minimum heat setting? How much does alpine/plateau mode affect running temperature on minimum? Thanks, edit: I have installed my 8kw heater to suck fresh air from the outside rather than recirculate the air from inside the camper.

Please don't waste your time by doing any repair on this Onan engine. Onan shut down a long time back. New parts are difficult to get and expensive. 2-3 years back I was contacted by a company running a tennis stadium covered by an inflatable roof normally powered by an electric motor. The Onan was a back up. I refused to repair the engine because if it failed, and someone got caught under the dome, the insurance company would come for me. No way. I advised them in writing that it was very vulnerable to failure and should be replaced at the earliest. They were not willing to spend the money. No worries. Thank you. Bye bye. I extracted myself out of it pronto. Ron. Ron Small Engines. Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

I'm looking at getting something like this myself but you don't seem to be able to get this one in the UK

Well as always, your Killin it on the videos 😉 looking forward to your sled engine work, as I have also become interested in the Arctic Cat (Suzuki B80) for aviation project. You are doing great on your OWN house, with all your toys. It can be sad to watch someone flop around on personal life issues, but it looks good to see you come out of it, with a super attitude. I will be here when you find time to make vids. 😉🇨🇦

One thing to remember is high CO readings mean incomplete combustion, that can happen both on excess or insufficient fuel or too little or too much air. Both due to incomplete combustion will cause soot build up. Ash though is a different problem, waste oil has a high ash content, there is nothing you can do to stop this in this type of heater unfortunately.

Saw Matthias W. had a Vevor so was looking for reviews. Ran across one by Rebel Fabricators that was a train wreck. From this one, it looks like its not to bad if you're experienced, or a novice will to accept the lower price means it will need some TLC.

For the love of god hold menu and down for a few seconds the screen will say V ge or v ... Other languages. Until it says v off. Then the safe journey shutdown message will stop playing. It drove me nuts until I figured it out.

I have the same 2kw you have from the video I decided to test if I can run it upside down. Exhaust going out the top. Currently I am having no issues whatsoever. I never heard you state in the video if that is ok on some. Will I run into any issues like this?

I have a question, is there a place I can get just the bluetooth controller and motherboard for an 8kw?

How do you change your altitude

Can the bluetooth function be turned off when I don't want to use it? and with just the old-fashioned controller and remote? is there such an option? thank you! (Vevor support is taking forever to get back to me on this)

My controller is the same 4 button without the Celsius to Fahrenheit option. Still tinkering with it but no luck. I did get the secondary info menu by press up and down but it’s just data nothing I can manipulate.

It's not a waste oil heater the clue is in the name "diesel heater" I've got 2 I've been running for years & I've never had a problem!

Just got mine setup for the winter and this helps alot

Could waste engine oil with a small percentage of gasoline added, be made to run clean, depending on the percentage of gas?

I cant instal App on my android , 4difrents phones .

I can’t wait to see my ear wax…

Immediately subscribed when I heard the name of your channel 😝😝😝

How do I change altitude in menu

This wasn't listed in my manual. Thank you! I was about to rip the screen apart and cut the speaker wire.

This one was more entertaining, those pumps can only make 2-3psi, just enough to lift diesel a meter. Add that to 1ml/s and you aren't moving fuel anywhere near fast enough to have a spray and if you could have a spray at that flow rate you would need a tiny hole and a lot of pressure.

thats a seriously tidy install! you thought of everything

Any idea why my brand new 8kw vevor heater keeps killing the fuel pumps. It works about 1 hour or so then shuts down. Put a new pump on it and again, runs 1 hour or so, and shuts down. kills the pump again?

I have used 1oz SeaFoam per gal diesel in my HColory diesel heater from day one, the burn chamber and heat exchange stays like new inside and burns very clean. I use the same in my Vevor with no problems. The HColory actually heats my entire home in North Florida quite well. Your install was great in the F250. Keep up the videos, we do enjoy them and learn so much without destroying our own heaters in the process.

Awesome video as always 😊

Thanks for doing these videos man. Idk what it is about this series you made but I watch the playlist multiple times. It’s entertaining, especially when it’s one of your favourite tools/assets that is being modified 😂. Cheers from Ontario keep up the good work.

Nice installation. Thanks for sharing. Nice to see you getting some footage out. Sure, why not an onan rebuild video..... Cheers from Oregon, USA, Philip

Would a mixure of 65% diesel and 30% used engine oil and 5% petrol be a reliable fuel source that last for years without carbon build up inside........

Thanks for the video. I have the Bluetooth controller, but I can’t seem to control the RPMs on the fan or the frequency on the fuel pump. The other controller with no Bluetooth seems more sophisticated. Any thoughts

When adding a new length of pipe you will have to wait for the machine oil to burn off ! this is probably the increase of CO. When you coil the tubing use a 5 gal pail to wrap the tubing around or similar leaving the heater at the top and the coil under the heater then the condensation will flow down and out then place a fan towards the coil to extract more heat always place the exhaust pipe end out side , But are right these heaters burn very clean Good video

One word: Titanium.

Wow, the plastic used for the brushes are supposed to be UV resistant and thermoset polymer. It should NOT get soft from heat.

good video I have the same blower that i got for $100, I impeller is bent so I am trying to get that fix got the more separated and loosed the not on the pulley but the auger is not coming out

This is why we can't have cool stuff anymore.

The buildup looks like the additive package added to engine oil to act as a detergent and anti wear. This oil was not designed to be burnt so never a problem. You'll get the same if you add motor oil to a 2 stroke engine rather than oil designed to burn. You can remove the additives with sub 10 micron filters...but that's going to take a while!

Glowing is 100% efficiency

Just make sure that he never turns that switch of when the heater is running. He will cook the motor in it. Ask me how I know. 😂

It may be worth noting that there are at least two different wiring looms.

I just bought one of these heaters and have been watching how to get the most out of the heater. I'm a little confused, why the exhaust isn't insulated to keep more heat inside the first foot or so at the least? Wouldn't that alone, increase the core temps of the machine giving it higher output temps, along with, quicker at getting to those "start up" temps? I'd start off with the correct temps of the air/fuel, that's gonna be mixed together in the burner for the best overall performance. Right? One more thing, what's the highest temperature you've personally recorded? Can you "cherry red" the port? Is that too much? lol I might have a few more questions. I like your channel!

Yeh i snapped mine :( Lolz

Where the glow plug goes , Is there supposed to be a hole at the bottom ?

Glad to see your post and that are you are doing well and moving forward, all with a positive attitude

FYI: The fuel cap vent has a plastic insert/check valve. The insert can fall out of the cap, so use a small tie wrap around it to keep it in place. If it falls out, diesel will be splashing out of the top of the vent hole in the cap. Ask me how I know. I use 2 of the Vevor diesel heaters in my barn/shop area and a 3rd one to heat my rooftop tent on my Jeep. Great heaters so far. Thanks for the video

Nice job, Joel... you're a great craftsman :) Don't worry about that wire hickup, practice makes perfect

U said u were going to start and end on pure diesel

U didnt end the last burn on diesel.....it flamed out

That poor baby has taken a damn BEATING!!! 😂

What if u put the pump 2in from the input on the nipple and heat shield it? Hard to prime, but less space for cavatation .....and thermal expansion. Juat a thought

Flux and heat r ure friend with solder....lmao
