Diesel Heater fuel pickup

How about a link to the pickup tube, seals etc that you used?

This video solved my small space gas situation when I was figuring out my diesel heater, thank you so much!

[@danieldennis9500]

Works like a charm and and the gas can is a very versatile option for space and mobility.

[@cannonballrepair7940]

Daniel Dennis yep I agree.

[@plattapuss5844]

Works great for me. Harbor freight 2 gallon gas cans $16. Solves all my concerns about refueling in my Yukon xl. Carry spare fuel. Thanks.

[@justlo0k33]

This worked for my modern, “super safe spill proof auto shut off, unleakable, incredibly difficult to pour” 5 gal fuel can. I just had to take a pair of tin snips and mangle the spout part enough to free the ring collar. This is fine bc the can will be my permanent fuel can for the heater.

[@justlo0k33]

I drilled a small hole and affixed a piece of filtration material over the hole

[@bellofiore894]

Very interesting 👍👍

I have done the exact same thing on 3 Diesel Jerry cans with a small addition: To ensure no air is entrained into the fuel line, I added a small FEMALE Hydraulic Quick disconnect on the fuel line & on the 3 stand pipes, a corresponding male fitting disconnect. Yea it cost me ~ $90 Cdn, BUT… zero issues whenever I need to switch over to a full. No air entrained in the fuel line -Heater starts up every time. Quick disconnects worth their weight in Platinum..!

What hydraulic quick disconnect did you use?

Great just what I was just thinking on doing thing

[@Richard-nb4iv]

Its also a great option for refueling. Just buy two jerry cans and them swap out. 😊

[@ivandragos7437]

How does your tank breathe when the heater is in use? Is the white thing on the tank manual or a one way breather valve? I like and will use your set-up inside my camper-van but prefer a one way breather valve to keep any diesel smell out. Might be tricky as those little pumps don't create a lot of suction. Thanks, Good work!

[@cannonballrepair7940]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Yes that white thing is a fuel filter for a weed eater, it will allow the tank to breathe. You can use a one-way valve to do the same thing. I leave my tank in that Festy year round and don’t get an odor of diesel. Those little heaters are nice.

[@travishanson166]

I have 2 marine tanks I plan to use as auxiliary tanks over the supplied tank. You just never know when you will spend a week in a snow bank lol

[@cannonballrepair7940]

That should be plenty of fuel! These little heaters are awesome!

[@lmfarms4611]

I would add a small filter on the pick up tube. Never know whether there is gunk in the bottom of the gas can.

[@dwaynerob5369]

Looks like mine has the same fuel pick up tube. Excited about trying this. Are you able to share how you then correct/disconnect this from your heater unit?

[@cannonballrepair7940]

I actually leave mine together year round.

Never disconnect the pick up tube. Just swap the tank out with a full one.

Add this quick release to the top, between the tank and the filter, it has an automatic shut off valve.

[@sages101]

Hey Man I have a similar pick up tube that came with my diesel heater. But the top bit slides up and down the rod pretty easily, is this normal? Seems like yours is tight on there.

Yeah mine is solid. It doesn’t move at all. You could probably braze it if you need it to stay in place.

Why not just use a boat motor fuel tank. They already have the plug you can remove to go fill it! That's my plan.
