Chinese Diesel heater removed from portable cabinet for easy maintenance.

[@roastntoast7550]

Thanks for sharing your experiences and your very helpful videos. Because of you, I bought this diesel heater by self. Greetings from Germany!

Here after your cleanup video, glad to subscribe for this content!

[@darrylbrown1319]

Thanks for all the videos! I love that you have all the same ideas I have, but I'm waiting for my heater to play around. Keep on bursting those bubbles.

Awesome setup!

[@julias-shed]

Like the de boxing idea need to clean mine again. 😀

[@highlandhoneyfarm5852]

Thanks for the update.

[@rikardlarsen7545]

Thanks. The oil pump should point out end up for air to escape.

[@HostileHST]

99% when I am told, "you can't", I prove i can! So PFF to any nay sayers, just keep trucking StormNL, you'll get there!

[@wallacegrommet9343]

So odd to see the pump angled downward, but your setup is basically gravity feed to the suction side of the pump, where the heater is below the fuel tank.

[@triplex0076]

Im testing a new mix, will keep you updated 😊

[@triplex0076]

Nothing, it runs 2 hrs and then chamber temp starts declining till if goes off. 30/67/1.5/1.5 wmo/diesel/acetone/thinners

[@oliver90owner]

You have the pump installed contrary to the manufacturer’s installation recommendations.

Hey, Storm....if you are interested in another one, you can get a complete kit for 70 bucks. Mine came in 2 days. Just passing on the info.

[@Storman77]

I did get one lol paid about 100 from Vrbo in Canada

[@Storman77]

Vevor

[@englishrupe01]

Cool....didn't want you to miss out, at that price.

[@leighreid5480]

I wonder if the people able to run with old oil have a different version of the heater that is more forgiving?

[@Storman77]

🤔🤔

[@leighreid5480]

@@Storman77 The reason I ask is, as an example, I know there are differences between some of the Webasto heaters, the thermo top C has a larger injector and different glowplug to their newer thermo top V which has a smaller injector and ceramic glowplug. As a result, the Webasto thermo top V needs almost perfect fueling, even things like bubbles in the fuel line will make it go out. Since you have a different controller in your heater, I wonder if there are other changes which is making your task harder.

[@oliver90owner]

@@leighreid5480 Dead right there! There was no choice of air:fuel ratio, with the (other) motherboard/controller combination. No opportunity to change settings to minimise CO for a start. Simply a choice of sea level or alpine, where one might be correct and the other would be wasting energy, at least. I am thinking the main problem with burning engine oil is the volatility - needing a higher temperature to initiate a complete burn in the residence time available in these heaters.

[@Storman77]

@@leighreid5480 that’s interesting. We shall soon find out

[@nitrosrt4]

i still have (2) 55 gallon drums from when i was putting this in my 7.3 years ago, i did it for a while, it ended up being more effort than it was worth, ill just buy the diesel, but im following this journey because i still have some i can use, and i know the used oil puts out more heat and it'll be a good way to finally get rid of that. i just got this heater last week and it is crazy how much it puts out, uninsulated shed(office), no worries. definitely the most economic way to heat this space, used a 5 gallon jug for the whole week. also did you ever figure out the 3 digit code for the custom menu?

[@oliver90owner]

I don’t think there is a ‘custom menu’ for this motherboard/controller combination. Only basic turn-on, turn-off and alpine. At least not for Norm’s other heater.

[@nitrosrt4]

@@oliver90owner hold the ok and power buttons and 3 zeros pop up that can be changed, im assuming thats the custom menu.

[@oliver90owner]

@@nitrosrt4 That is the timer function for start-delay or turn-off after setting the controller while actually present. There are only those three digits - four required for higher level programming on every predecessor - and, of course, there is a decimal point within those digits for decimal hours. The new blue controller may be different, but possibly only has more information and setting ability (by virtue of the remote having a display), but may allow timer settings with remote selection. Users of this latest controller should be able to work out what it can do quite soon, hopefully.

[@realeyesrealizereallies6828]

I think 20% waste oil 75% diesel 5% gas, kerosene or diesel cleaner might be a better idea..That would still add up to significant savings...But, look forward to seeing what can be accomplished, if you don't try, you won't know...

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Acetone is reportedly a better choice to thin the waste oil

[@oliver90owner]

@@wallacegrommet9343 May thin it (different viscosity) but how about the heat energy of acetone being so much lower than gas oil? Acetone price? It’s that word ‘reportedly’ again.

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Reported by other diesel heater owners experimenting with waste oil fuels. They are on youtube demonstrating their methods, results, etc. The info didn’t come to me in a dream, or a fortune cookie.

[@englishrupe01]

@@wallacegrommet9343 Lol.....some of the best info does, though. Look at Moses..... ;-)

[@triplex0076]

I did the same, that case is rubbish

[@Storman77]

Yup , hard to do anything in that case
