Chinese Diesel Heater Error 0-8 Fixed!

[@curve5746]

You saved me so much time! Had the same issue. I wish they woukd actually qc these before sending them to the stores

[@vanlifenomadgipsygirlcanad2195]

Thanks so much you save a senior disabled woman from a very cold canadian winter night. With your video I was able to restart my heater in less then 15 minutes and is toasty now in my campervan 😀 angels bless you John

[@VanOnTour]

I'm so glad it helped you.

[@TerriLynch]

Same here. I'm also a disabled senior. My heater starts, but sometimes shuts off. The winds are super high here since last night. When I get out of the van I'm going to turn it back on high for a bit. I also think I may have a dirty fuel filter.

[@VanOnTour]

@@TerriLynch park you van in a way that the wind cannot blow up your heater exhaust at all. Strong winds in the right direction will extinguish the heater when it blows up the exhaust.

Thanks, looks like my replacement diesel cap didn't have an escape hole, its working like a dream. You're a champion!!!

[@VanOnTour]

Glad it helped!

[@neilskinner7662]

Wow! You just saved me such a headache! Turns out my cap was not letting that small amount of air in. Thank you!

[@VanOnTour]

You're welcome! I'm glad it helped.

Thanks for that, just got me out of trouble!

[@VanOnTour]

Glad it helped!

[@alexkruse312]

I had E8 issues that were driving me mad. Ended up tearing apart the heater and found the combustion chamber coked up beyond belief. Cleaned it up and put it back together; runs better than new now..

[@VanOnTour]

Run it at full blast for 15 minutes now and then. It helps keep the chamber clean.

[@alexkruse312]

@@VanOnTour aye. I think my kerosene had condensation in it. No idea how old it was.

Thank you. That is exactly what my problem was.

[@VanOnTour]

Glad it helped! It's helped so many people.

[@Babasultan262]

very simple🔥🔥🔥Clean the inside of the diesel pump. You can use a cleansing spray. If not, replace the pump. I did it myself today I did it. good luck to all.

[@artmarvello6122]

Thank you for your video it just happen to me as well after one night of using new heater and exactly at four thirty in the morning my heater was out and o-8 code was showing the manual was ant very helpful and in panic I turned to Utube for an explanation and your video was starring me right in the face as soon as it gets day light I'll travel the fuel delivery and diagnose the problem thanks again.

[@VanOnTour]

I hope it helps you as it has done many others.

[@sweber1985]

what an awesome fix! you fixed my problem! Thank you for posting this! :)

[@VanOnTour]

You're welcome. I'm glad it's still helping people.

[@TerriLynch]

Thanks for the video. My heater did that twice. We have very high winds here last night and this morning. It starts but sometimes shuts off with that code. I can start it but I did notice before that, that the fuel filter looks dirty. I may just change that and check for sludge in the tank as well. Do you think that may help also.? I never would have thought about the wind. That may very well be the problem. That van is still rocking as I write this.

[@VanOnTour]

The wind can do that. Park so the wind is not blowing into the exhaust.

[@markellis4229]

Van on tour thanks this did the trick 👍

[@VanOnTour]

Glad it helped!

[@artmarvello6122]

Your video was a real good starting point the problem was I was just out of fuel it shure used a lot in just two nights but I haven't figured out how to program the controller yet for better file eficiancy thanks a bunch take care

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

'is it wrong that i actually ikie that smell' :) I had to suck syphon mine twice recently, i liked the taste! Accidentally swalloed a bit, not pleasant to be burping diesel all day! I've only recently installed it for my shed, i now have the dreaded E-10 error to diagnose.

[@VanOnTour]

E-10 is normally power. Shorten the red positive lead to only what you need as it is too thin and causes voltage drop.

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

@@VanOnTour Thanks, fixed it eventually by raising voltage on the transformer. Great little heaters.

[@richardtydryszewski8919]

I just turn it back on and it works. But ive been having this issue cuz i have old diesel in mine and poured diesel 911 in cuz i also have water in the system cuz the tank cracked open. So w8n for that to burn off. But for the 100bux i paid for my heater im glad it works at all. Its my 2nd year with it.

[@PretiumLibertatisEstVigilantia]

I can't believe I pressed those two buttons and it worked. It's been days. Lol

[@johnmccormick4055]

Not all heaters same warming message E 8 online means voltage. To prime mine is up and down held in together. Never prime them . I think your voltage drop and below 11 volts they won't run I have one in each my boats should run it of a 20lter Jerry can very safe . And your allowed red desiel for heating . Hope this helps

[@aubreyj.tennant1123]

Mine gets an 08 and it’s battery low too.

[@UrbanVanlife]

So weird that your cap blocked . I made a bigger hole in my cap . But good fix mate

[@VanOnTour]

I know. On my old one it was clear.

[@MrJacko1946]

Thanks, mate!. From a cold morning Downunder. The newly installed CDH choked off, so l hit youtube to find out why. Nobody told me those cunning chinese had put a booby trap for new players in the fuel cap!. Mate, l would NEVER have figured that out. Cheers from South Australia.

[@gf.channel]

My heater doesn't go into prime mode when i press ok and down ?

[@offshoretomorrow3346]

Mine had blown out on startup in a gale.

[@cbgmaker9031]

When it gets windy, especially wind gusts, my diesel heater stops with an 08 code. Sometimes if I take a vacuum and put it on the exhaust pipe, turn on the heater then turn on the vacuum it seems to work again for a short time till the wind blows. What do you think's going on? And you mentioned it in your video, how do you fix that? Thank you

[@VanOnTour]

More than likely you have a dip in the exhaust that's allowing condensation to gather at a low point, much like a trap below a sink. This is stopping the heater venting. Either straight the exhaust so it is gradually downhill all the way or drill a small hole in the base of the low point to allow water to drain.

[@cbgmaker9031]

@@VanOnTour thanks I appreciate that. I'll give it a go, we'll see what happens.

[@Genghis-Khan121]

Mine has different type cap just a hole and isn’t blocked , been a nightmare freezing weather minus 6 and turned heater up to 4 next thing stinks of burning smell and more smoke than ever before, pump still ticks but seems to have no strength pumps but full of air just can’t seem to get the air out undone the pipes tried bleeding and everything still no joy I think pump is partially blocked as quantity of diesel recently second hand cheap stuff can the pumps do this ? Anyone just not pumping round in quantity seems to air lock then gives up , even with it disconnected from the heater pitiful just not squirting

[@VanOnTour]

Change the pump. It's faulty.

[@jeffhale713]

Thanks for your great video. How did you get the error message off the screen. I tried turning off power but message stayed

[@Roblovesbushcraft]

I got it off by taking the fuse out, sorry my reply was a year too late 🤣🤦

[@comfortablynumb8832]

Error 01 flashing battery is shorten your live wire to the battery and or replace for a thicker 6mm cable

[@honeylunehivery]

So I noticed that the whole time your screen showed the oil pump icon. Is that still showing up for you? I thought that indicated an issue with an oil pump failure.

[@VanOnTour]

Oil pump icon only shows when the pump is running.

[@honeylunehivery]

@@VanOnTour Thank you! I appreciate it. Been having some trouble with my new heater so good to know that icon doesn't mean more issues.

[@henkenmark]

You just destroyed the valve. When diesel hits the valve it wil close on the round surface of the cap, when there is no diesel hitting the valve and breathing air is needed, the valve wil come down and air flows by the valve ( 2 little openings at the stem of the valve) . Now diesel can spil through the hole you cut at the top of the valvestem.

[@VanOnTour]

Besides the point. It wasn't letting air in, it was faulty and who fills them to the brim anyway? That's just asking for problems. It now breathes and I get no seepage from it even if the tank is near full. This video has also helped many people out with the same problem. It's now a known problem (to many of us anyway).

[@anthonyquantuman730]

@@VanOnTour Henk is right..Youve just destroyed the ONE WAY VALVE.. Its there to stop diesel fumes from exiting the tank and into the room. The valve allows air into the tank (as fuel level drops) past the silicone flap...

[@VanOnTour]

Yes I know. But it wasn't letting air in. Which is the point. I agree its a temporary fix but it's a fix. Better than being cold.

[@ShaneGallagher-w3k]

OK Karen😮

[@danielionut4738]

I tried to lower the temperature to 0.9 hz, but after a while I get error 08. Is it because it is set too far below the minimum?

[@dancarter482]

Does it work if you raise the temp setting?

[@VanOnTour]

You have to adjust the min and max fan speeds too, if it runs too cool and errors reduce the maximum fan speed in increments until it runs hot and reliable.

[@mazman8343]

Well done. Quick question can I use green or red diesel

[@VanOnTour]

You can use either, and kerosene (heating oil).

[@offbeatwarble]

@@VanOnTour only thing is kerosene reduces the life of the fuel pump. Due to the way these pumps work they rely on lubrication from the diesel/red diesel etc. A kerosene / diesel mix provides the best of both worlds, cleaner burn of kerosene and the lubrication of diesel

[@VanOnTour]

The pumps need no lubrication. This has been discussed and proven in great length on the Chinese diesel heater group on Facebook. Kerosene is just a slightly purer form of diesel.

[@offbeatwarble]

@@VanOnTour ah the Facebook 'engineers' have spoken 😂.

[@christianthompson1473]

I use kerosene, much cleaner burn and half the price of diesel. Mind you, I'm getting code 08 now... which is why I'm here...😶

[@jimmurphy4703]

Is the inside of the van open to the outside where you have the unit inside ?

[@VanOnTour]

I'm not sure what you mean?

[@Brad_hodge_photography]

Mine won't work same error coming up

[@VanOnTour]

Check the whole fuel delivery system. 08 is nearly always fuel. It may be a weak pump you have.

[@Brad_hodge_photography]

@@VanOnTour na mate sorted now thanx to you 😊😊😊😊

[@VanOnTour]

Nice one.

[@Brad_hodge_photography]

@@VanOnTour I have a strange smell in my van tho wen I open the door after its been closed up with the heater on hopefully not exhaust leak just a odd smell

[@VanOnTour]

If it is new that is normal for a while. Its the plastic casing gives off a smell when it gets hot. It vanishes after a bit of use.

[@64maxpower]

Does your display screen still have the clear shipping protector on it?

[@VanOnTour]

Yes it does.

[@navaro20]

Hose from pump to heater make it short as possible

[@VanOnTour]

It is and that is not the problem here.

[@navaro20]

@@VanOnTour When I got first time 08, Checked and cleaned the hoses, changed the pump, the 08 still came. Then took apart the heater and cleaned for soot, 08 still came. Then cleaned the exhaust pipe for soot, 08 still came, Worked for a while then 08 still came. Then took apart again to clean for soot, Thought that was clogged again from soot pipe, From this point hr started to work 5 minutes blowing cold air and coming with 03. I quit. Bought a new one. And again with a new one 08 comes again. Some KZbinr advised to make the hose short, from pump to heater. Mine was for about 8 inch, also pushing diesel with bubbles. Made it for about 3-4 inch, Some bubbles still a coming, But heater finally works. You gonna say it was about the clamps, Some air came thru pump... Right now the hoses to pump and from pump to heater are without clamps. On the old one hoses where tided with clamps.p

[@tonyl1483]

Your heater muffler is on the wrong way, the weep hole should face downward to let out built up moisture!

[@VanOnTour]

There are no drain holes. It's symmetrical. You drill a small hole in the lowest point of the exhaust as a drain hole.

[@tonyl1483]

@@VanOnTour the one I received has a drain hole on one side!
