Boring

Hi, it is under the van.

Almost 3 years in, no issues.

@@agoravan excellent, thanks for the video and thanks for the quick reply 👍🏻

You’re welcome! I would really apreciate if you could subscribe to the channel. Thanks!

@@agoravan consider it done.

Thanks! Yes it did.

Hi, no issues at all. 3rd winter :)

That's good to hear. Congratulations on finding the solution!

Thanks! I did not invent this, i just made this useful video of how to do it. 😁

If you put the pipe through the breather as i did in the video, the stand pipe is going straight. It doesn’t touch anything. Don’t forget to cut the stand pipe a little shorter so it doesn’t reach the bottom of the tank.

@@agoravanthank you for your answer. since you did this how is the epoxy. Is it efficient against fuel leaks?

2 and a half years of full vanlife and i had no issues. Can i please ask you to subscribe to my channel? If you did already, thank you!

@@agoravan thank you for your help . I will subscribe and i whish you the best for this new year. 👍🎉

Thank you for your comment. I will try it that way on my next one.

Glad to help

You have to contact Michelle Wang on JP heater group on Facebook.

Hi, search agoravan on instagram and send me your email, and i will send you some pictures of the bulkhead&door

You are welcome!

Thank you!

It should not be glued in, i struggled a bit to get it out, but maybe in your case somebody glued it in for some reason. In this case you could unscrew the entire unit, (although the method i presented is to avoid doing that), but i only recommend doing that if you know what you are doing and are confident enough to do it. Otherwise, ask a mechanic to do it for you.

@@agoravan Thanks for the reply! I did manage to pull it out with great effort. Now I'm stuck on how to get the fuel line to the fuel pump from there :p

@ShadowV if you watch the video again, you will see that i routed the blue hose under the van. My fuel filter and the pump sit under the van. And from the pump there is the clear hose that travels under the van until it reaches the point where my heater is located ( in my case it is in the middle of the van) and i drilled a hole and routed the hose back in to the van and connected it to the heater.

Hi Julian, thank you so much for your kind message. It made my day :). Yes i am really happy with my heater, works great, i would only change it for the new silent version 😂. If you are not subscribed please do as it really helps my channel grow. Part 3 of the series coming soon so ding the notification bell aswell. Cheers.

@@agoravan how loud does it get? is it loud when in heating mode, heating water or both? Cheers for the video!

@robertoestivill it is a bit loud when on heating mode (but you will get hot water aswell when on heating mode), when on water heating mode only is quiet, as there are no fans running, but you will get used to it.

​@@agoravanawesome! Great to know, thanks for you comment ❤. What is the new version you mentioned? Worth getting that one?

@robertoestivill basically is the same heater but has some improved components that make it more silent and it also has the bluetooth connectivity and you can control the heater from an app.

Thank you!

Thank you for your comment! I am glad you found it useful. Please let me know how it went, and please subscribe to our channel. Have a lovely day!

Hi, i used a diesel JP heater combi unit, similar to Truma D6

I had the same this year. Does anyone know how to make sure you don't touch the floaters?

I asked the manufacturer before i purchased the pipe and it said it is ok. I used the heater for a year now, with no issues

Hi, thanks for subscribing here is the link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403776540469

You can buy this one: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403776540469?hash=item5e02f50f35:g:qc0AAOSwr91i0SA3&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8HGiwLCWqUfhYD58HoklVdDH1RLcUK9lbwrhrOz3rgRP2fvXJ2dR6N95KDJALfAdafhSgTgH%2BB9%2FWRc6FWioCzSF3aGRn%2FS2As7aln5QZQhvacaPPgBtQGuNd16wG13aOGTXvpQEyZJEHD%2BZ7Lvn8jONp1%2FIbXfDWNe6iKqqGS1THWlpG4PHxO%2B5VEGZE86aqdArUQE1DKeefTh4RtEcbTZbIsdem9sZfWTSHSJPhOk3ONRA%2FkmgFPAWpHLcCg8XM7mapdT6Zd7IF7I84NW6b8l8TKnzhvMqI90LwF6rBo98oKetXOFoqRxNzoozHPZ9ZA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBM5uKxlPZg

Hi, you are welcome. Send me an email at [email protected] and i will send you some pictures.

I’m the same please , is it a clear route?

Thank you!

since September 2021 when I installed it, I had no problem with the heater

Hi, thank you for your appreciation, you can search on ebay for: Webasto Eberspacher Heater Fuel Tank Sender Stand Pipes Clip Parts, and you choose one from there.

@@agoravan Thank you.

I am not sure what are they for. I didn’t use them. I used a 200AMP circuit breaker for the inverter.

You are welcome, i am really glad that the video helped. Please subscribe to our channel for more van conversion videos coming soon.

I think you are right, the diesel shouldn’t bypass the pump (unless pump is broken or stuck open), when i installed this i did not connect the pump.

@@agoravan worth a shot as I need this installed before a wall goes up but I'm not ready for the heater yet. Thanks a lot! Videos appreciated!

Hi, i am really happy that the video was helpful.

Can you remember what size pipe wrench you used to get the nut to tighten inside the breather pipe? looking to do this soon.

@@karlforster4892 10mm

Where did you get the thinner pipe fittings or what's it called

Thank you!

I've just discovered this hack as well. I have a 2016 Iveco Daily. How much space do you have above your tank? I have an insulated box so I reckon 5 inches of clearance. I could take the elbow off, modify on it's own then reinstall the elbow. How long was your pipe?

@@astronomenov99 about 5" the same and your dead right, the easiest way is to secure the dip tube on the workbench. You can get the elbows pretty cheaply from Iveco if you want to have one modified and ready for when you take the original one off.

Thanks! Let me know how it went.

That sounds great! Let me know how it works.

Good idea to use an o-ring, washer and nut. What is the reason for the non-return valve?

Im also looking for a solution for fitting the stand pipe. Does your solution affect the breather pipe functioning properly? I can imagine the file will help but why cut the breather tube at all?

@@alanmorris9598 how else can you reach the standpipe nut deep inside the breather tube? The only way I could was with the longest deep socket and by trimming about 12mm off the end of the breather pipe. The o rings are well beyond that so sealing is not affected.

Do you have a link for the non return valve you used?

Hi Garry, thanks for the appreciation, so far i did not encounter any issues, and i am using the heater on daily bases. No tank pressure loss, when i open the tank for refill i can hear the pressure coming out, no leaks, because the glue that i used creates an air tight seal. The initial plan was indeed to put a nut inside, but that proved to be very difficult with the tools that i have so i just used the glue, and as i said, no issues so far. But feel free to put a nut inside if you have the possibility, as it would definitely help. Have a great day!

Hi, you’re welcome. Yes i connected the water as well. Just need to find some time to edit the video. Hopefully soon. Stay tuned!

You are welcome! Thank you for your enjoying the video.

Hi, when i inserted the pipe for testing it went all the way down to the bottom of the tank, which makes me think that the fuel float is not directly under it. I drove the van more than 2500 miles, filled the tank several times, and no issues so far. Fuel gauge indicates correctly. I use the heater every night, and had no issues with it either. Also. I am not a mechanic or a professional van converter, video is just showing what i did, it is not a how to video, as it is mentioned in the disclaimer at the beginning of the video, so if you have any concerns, please ask a qualified mechanic or engineer, before attempting to do any work on your vehicle. Thank you!

@@agoravan ok, thanks for reply.

@@Jozef_Drab you’re welcome

I did not tested it yet on electric. As soon as i will do it, i will make a video and upload it. Thank you for the interest!

Hi, glad it helped!

Hi, it is 4 months now, and no side effects. Van works fine, heater works fine.

@@agoravan that’s great thank you. 👍🏻

You’re welcome! I am glad it helps!

Hi, thank you for your kind words. The Stand pipe was bought from ebay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333858990507, and the JP HEATER from alibaba.com. There is a grup on facebook called JP HEATER GROUP. Join in and contact admin Michelle Wang for details on how to order the heater.

thanks mate kind of you@@agoravan

@@jessestrum you are welcome!

Thank you!

The link is in the description of the video, it’s this one: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333858990507

Tried this code on ebay they can't seem to find the item

@normangallagher8161 hi, you can try this link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204051507589 Or search: Fuel Tank Sender Stand Pipe on ebay.

Hi, thank you for your interest. I didn’t try the heater (air or water) on electric yet. Only on diesel. On diesel the water gets to 40 C in 20 minutes, very quietly. The full 6kw is achieved only when you run it on both fuel and electric 1800W at the same time. The diesel version is only 6kw, if you want 4kw you need the gas version. I think they are both suitable. Depends on your needs and budget.
