Chinese Diesel heater install in my workshop

[@PUBHEAD1]

Looks good mate. Careful with your rubbish bin of rags being under/near the heater. We like your videos and dont want to miss any because your shop explodes. Cheers from Canada

Interesting how you last video was removed straight after I’d watched it big 👍👍for that one

I had to delete it , woke up this morning to like 15 copyright claims …

Hello Paul. Great video.

[@tonyaylott4555]

Hi Paul Tony here from Friday night garage, I need some advice on fitting a mgf into my mini

[@TheDynaGuy]

Won’t the wood penetration still got hot because the sleeve is attached to the hot exhaust and it will conduct heat? Having a similar issue with my install. I sleeved mine in black iron through a piece of 4” round sheet metal and being I fixed the black iron to a flange and to a 4” cap all of the metal touched and after a while the 4” sleeve gets to 200 Fahrenheit

Looks the bizz, interesting to see what your running costs will be over winter.

[@PainterD54]

That's not a good way to run the exhaust. You don't want to face it upwards. The condensation will get trapped inside the tube and stop the heater - you don't want that! Also you shouldn't keep the air to the combustion chamber inside the building. You should be using outside air for the combustion chamber. It's more dense and ignites better. Make a few changes and you will be safer and happy!

Hi I was looking into an 8kw one ,just wondering is it a dry heat or a damp heat like a space heater?

[@Xpp.]

Hiya ! From what I would imagine its a dry heat because the heat created does not come directly from a burnt fuel . The fuel is burned in a chamber which heats a housing which the fan blows air across, so that means theres no correlation between the burnt fuel and hot air unlike a space heater that directly burns fuel and blows that burnt fuel / flame out into the room … thats what i make of it anyway ?

Nice install. Just a bit worried (especially with the current energy crisis) how many less technical people may attempt fitting one of these in their home as a cheap heating alternative?🤔

[@Xpp.]

Its definitely a cheap way the heat a house ! Seen a few home installs of these it’s probably the future of cheap heat ! But yes they do need to be installed correctly…

[@markpiper8082]

Look in to heating oil or kerosene but it all depends on fuel price 👍👍

[@Xpp.]

Yeah keeping the cost down is definitely on the agenda! , thinking of mixing in some used engine oil too ! Definitely got an abundance of that !

[@andymccall6861]

Two things, small quantity kerosene/paraffin heating oil and red diesel is currently more expensive than pump diesel. Also strictly speaking burning waste oil without a licence or permit is illegal in the UK so best not to film it if you do it. Pump needs to be at an angle of no more than 35 degrees, according to all the manufacturers. Also the exhaust needs to run down away from the heater as eventually there will be a build up of acidic condensation that will block the flow of exhaust gasses. A fuel filter put in backwards may restrict or stop the flow of fuel to the engine. If, after changing a fuel filter, the engine suddenly displays a loss of performance, the filter should be inspected for proper installation Worse than performance problems, a fuel filter that was installed backward may cause problems that do not produce noticeable symptoms. A backward fuel filter may restrict fuel to the engine, but the restriction is made up by the fuel pump. This will result in increased wear to the fuel pump and may cause pump failure. While fuel filters are inexpensive and easy to change, fuel pumps are expensive and difficult to change. Given these are very small capacity pumps the likelihood is that this will lead to premature failure
