Chinese Diesel Heater install Part 2

[@BluWaveOdyssey]

Wow! Nice job. This a very good information. Nice way to heat your camper. I'm heading over to watch the third video of this series now. 45.5 degrees to 68 in eight minutes, sweet!

The heater system fit like a glove and works like a Swiss watch as they say Lol. Thank you for watching our channel and leaving your comment.

These little things work amazing, I got 2 in my 30 feet cargo trailer and it keeps the trailer over 70 in a 30 degree weather.

I have one of these heaters in my pickup topper camper, one in my cargo trailer camper conversion, and one in my shop. All work well.

Hi Explorer 867, just watched your YT. 2 yrs later. You fitted a CARBON MONOXIDE METER inside your sleep area behind you.My recommendation is to fit it LOWER than your head when asleep as CO is heavier than Air, it is a Silent KILLER, I'm a Fire Fighter in Australia & had to respond to CO poisoning in an enclosed boat from cooking, the people survived just, 20mins later would be fatal. GREAT YT. Cheers form Down Under Explorer

[@explorer867]

Debbie Green, thank you very much for your recommendation. I will be move the C.O. meter. Great to hear from friends in Australia. Please give me a thumbs up, check out our other videos, and let others know about our channel.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Nice work thanks Explorer love it.

[@explorer867]

Thanks Kevin, I had fun installing this heater and it really was a breeze. Only challenge was finding a place to fit it in the pickup camper canopy. The heat is warm and dry with the heater only using 144ml diesel per hour on the 2hz setting. Thank you for watching our video and leaving your comment. Take care

[@FarmDad]

Great job showing how it is done. I've actually been curious about doing something like this. Neat to see an actual installation.

[@explorer867]

This little heater works perfectly thus far. The install was painless, well it did hurt drilling holes in the bed of the old 96er but other than that no pain LOL. If you do get one of these diesel heaters before you do the install bench test it for a few hours to make sure there's no problems with unit. Thank you for watching our video and leaving your comment. Have a great day.

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Very nice and clean install. Impressive work my friend. Things are looking better on your build everyday. Look forward to seeing more.

[@explorer867]

Thank you for watching and leaving your comments Camper Life. Were going to enjoy the heat in the Camper Canopy. Hope to hear from you again soon.

[@fishinbc2609]

Can you please tell me more about the quick coupler set up on the fuel tank . I have the exact tank and exit hole and was wondering how to set it up. I really like the way you did it , nice and clean

[@explorer867]

Hi Fishn' BC, I made a change to my fuel coupler setup after filming the video. The parts I'm now using are attwood part# 8897-6 and # 8896LP6. Please subscribe, let others know about my channel, check out my other videos, and give me a thumbs up. Have a good week.

[@chrisnielsen5467]

If you are trying to pass a fuel line through metal and want to protect it you can buy rubber bushings for a variety of hole sizes for pennies at most hardware stores and it looks much cleaner

Wow only 8 minutes? That's amazing! Did you say chinenglish? Haven't heard that one before lol.

[@explorer867]

Yes, it didn't take long to heat the camper up to a comfortable level. Not sure who coined that word but when your reading and trying to understand instructions written in English by someone in China the word fits LOL.

[@HoneyandMe]

Great video! A question...were the extra parts like the muffler, fuel pump, etc, things you had to buy apart from the heater? Or is it a whole kit? Really good instructions and explanation.

[@explorer867]

This all came as a kit. I purchased this one through Amazon and looked for the kit containing the items I wanted then shopped the reviews. Honey, let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching. I will have the electronic controller programing and use video out soon. Have a great day

[@HoneyandMe]

@@explorer867 That's great! I appreciate products that include everything. I'm trying to figure out if this would work in Honey. I don't like propane heat here in my wet environment.

[@explorer867]

@@HoneyandMe I'm sure it would work in Honey and the heat is warm and dry. We enjoy your travels in Honey. Have a great weekend

[@jasonw820]

How are the exhaust fumes ? I ask because your exited the pipe at the camper entrance? Thank you

[@explorer867]

I have had no issues with exhaust entering the camper as the exhaust pipe exits to the side of the truck. I never sleep with the heater running and always have a working smoke and o2 alarm mounted inside camper or heated enclosed space. This is how I decided to mount my heater and exhaust pipe, I'm not a professional diesel heater installer and would recommend you consult a professional. Have a great day

Can I ask please how you extended the control panel cables? I’m looking to move my control panel but don’t want to cut anything yet!! Thank you Explorer 867👍🏻

[@explorer867]

Hi Steve W, I didn't have to cut my wires to the controller. I had plenty of wire to make my run. If extending controller cable I personally would have a new wire harness made as the one that comes with these units are rather a light gage. Have a good day.

[@stevew6141]

@@explorer867 Thank you 🙏 I bought the Pre built version that comes in a red metal case so I didn’t get the long cable with the control panel! Really impressed by these heaters! Thanks again

[@garycloud9631]

Nice install and it will be interesting to hear your thoughts on it after you've had it awhile. On a different note, a few weeks ago I sent you my email address because I had wanted to dialogue with you on your insulating of the shell. So, if you would let me know what you did and if you have pics I'd love to see them. I want to do that to my shell so any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

[@explorer867]

Gary, I will review the heater after we've used it for a few months and post another video. The insulation is 1" closed cell foam with Reflectix. I measured each section and cut it to fit tight then taped each section in using Reflectix foil tape. This isn't a fun job but is worth the effort. Thank you for watching our videos and for leaving your comments. Have a great day

[@alanosborne1947]

Do you have a source for the fuel line quick c oupler and it's size. I've never seen one that small and is it a petroleum specific product?

[@explorer867]

NAPA

[@LesRCnmore]

I want to install this in my small teardrop, can you run this heater the whole night on a single 12v deep cycle without ruining the battery?? Does this heater uses a lot of electricity??? Will it kill my battery for a 9 hours of sleep????

[@explorer867]

These don't use much power as I have stated in the video so depending on your battery it should. I never recommend that anyone ever sleep with these Chinese diesel heaters on, and get yourself a good o2 and smoke detector also just for safety. Thanks for asking

[@Ryan-fj7xt]

Hi there i like the quick disconnect idea for the tank. What is it i need to buy to fit the fuel hose supplied to this tank? Is it called anything specific? Thanks

[@explorer867]

The quick disconnect is from an outboard motor fuel tank. Try going to a shop that works on outboards, they should have them for you. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a good day

[@Ryan-fj7xt]

[@explorer867]

@@Ryan-fj7xt Your welcome and have fun with your project.

[@johnwessinger7768]

question: The opposite end of the heater where the heat does not come out, how far away from a wall does it have to be? Or how much clearance of space around the heater is required?

[@explorer867]

As I stated in this video I'm not a professional installer and my video is for entertainment purposes only. You will need to refer to your owners manual provided with your heater or contact the manufacture to answer your questions. Have a great day.

[@johnwessinger7768]

well I read the manual and it really doesn't say what is a needed clearance around the rear of the heater is that's why I asked you what clearance you had. But if you don't know or want to say ok.

[@explorer867]

@@johnwessinger7768 Hi John, I'm not saying the way I installed my heater is the correct way to do it, or that you should do it my way, you need to work out the details for yourself and application. Now that said 2" on the sides and 4" behind cabin air intake. I'm not trying to be evasive just CYA here. I'm really enjoying my heater and have used it now for almost a year. Have fun with your build

[@johnwessinger7768]

ok thank you very much. This is a big help to me because of the videos I have looked at no one has indicated that at all. So again this helps greatly and thanks!

[@explorer867]

@@johnwessinger7768 John, I have done two upgrades that aren't pictured in the videos. The first is I used Aluminized HVAC Tape and covered the inside of the wood enclosure the heater resides in, and I replaced the combustion air intake silencer with a filter so the dust and bugs don't plug up the atomizer screen in the heater. Hope this helps.

[@davetoms63]

dont these things stink like diseal fuel? Cant imagine sleeping with that smell

[@explorer867]

Only if I spill fuel while filling the tank. All combustion exhaust is expelled outside.

@@explorer867 done. Any thoughts on a/c units? I'm looking at a dual hose and will mount it with a bottom panel. I can then use a same sized panel, set up for heater from outside. Mine is a hunting camp that's why I cant have diseal smells inside.

[@explorer867]

@@davetoms63 David, I don't have a AC unit planned for our trailer thus far. What I have done and you can see it in my videos is place a maxair fan in the roof. Living in the northwest (with some exceptions) we don't need the AC. If diesel smell is a concern then go with the exterior mounted all in one heater.
