Diesel Heater Quiet Fuel Pump Upgrade

I will replace the original noisy fuel pump in my Chinese diesel heater with an upgraded "Ultra Quiet" fuel pump and test it. One of the biggest complaints of these heaters is the loud clicking coming from the fuel pump. Is this modification worth the time and money? I purchased mine from Ebay and it quickly sold out. Just search for "Ultra Quiet Chinese Diesel Heater Fuel Pump" on Ebay if you want to purchase one. www.ebay.com/i...

I have the same ‘self-contained’ heater and removed the rubber pump mount altogether, then wrapped the pump in bubble wrap - made a vast reduction in the tapping noise. I also have a Webasto heater on my boat - I removed the pump mount rubber from that and suspended the pump with Ty-raps - that is a better solution and is virtually silent!

[@geenote]

I may due the same thing eventually. I think that is a popular solution. Thanks!

[@stut6831]

The clip on the fuel pump wiring plug is designed to push in not to be pulled right out (* squeeze the wire clip in an then seperate the witing plug) saves loosing the clip while working on the pump, also no need to try to get the wire clip back into the slot when rejoining just leave the wire clip an push the plug socket back in till u hear it click.

For best results: separate the pump, put it in a small box totally filled with fine sand (birds sand). If you suspend the box or put some soft rubber feet under it you will have a quit pump without any costs. Remember to mount the pump a little skew to prevent air enclosure.

[@keithb5708]

I swapped a standard pump for one of these from Ali express, mines bolted in the rubber mount to the van floor and was ready to try hanging it from cable ties but this pump is so quiet it’s not worth any more mods. When it’s very quiet I can only just hear it. I think they must have a rubber stop for the piston as the ‘clunk’ just doesn’t travel in the same way... very worthwhile indeed!

[@geenote]

I need to try one from Ali Express because this one is not quiet. It is an improvement as it has a different sound but not "ultra quiet" like the description says. Thanks for sharing.

[@MastaSquidge]

can you provide a link or any kind of additional information on the one you bought?

[@coryxj6er873]

Small amount of clean engine oil mixed with the diesel makes them so much quieter 😊

[@geenote]

I have not heard of doing that. I might try it. Thanks!

[@MapleMarmite]

Seems like a worthwhile upgrade at that price. As you say, it’s improved the situation rather than solving the problem altogether but with the all in one heaters it’s likely the best you’ll get. The metal casing acts as a sound box with the pump bolted to the side, even allowing for the rubber holder. Not sure if anything else is possible but I think I’d look at an alternative attachment to reduce the sound a little more. A styrofoam block cut in half and hollowed out to clamp around the unit, instead of the rubber ring, comes to mind as an idea if there’s room to wedge it in place between the tank and the casing.I feel that disconnecting the mount from the case will help, though. After, that it’s down to ear plugs, I guess! 👍🏻

[@geenote]

I agree. I might try to experiment around with the mount like you said but I'm always going to have it close by inside the all-in-one box. Thanks for the suggestions.

You can also add some foam around the pump safely and it will quiet it down considerably.

There are rubber cases availabe. They look like a pink dildo but work pretty well.

[@101perspective]

I did something similar and it makes a world of difference. What I did was insulate the inside of a tupperware like container and suspended the pump inside it. I have the pump inside my van so I can still clearly hear it. However, it is night and day compared to before. Man that thing was loud. It sounded like someone knocking on my van door...lol. I was tempted to just wrap the thing in insulation but I wasn't sure if it might overheat or something. Suspended in the container it at least has some air around it.

[@directorstu]

I did the same thing on my boat. Tick is almost inaudible now. I wonder if I can rig up a led indicator light to show its running..?

[@eotoole67]

I suspect a bit of kilmat stuck to the outside of the steel panel would help with the echoed thump... and maybe some weighted blanket over the top. That cover is like a box drum.

[@geenote]

I agree. Lining the cover should have been one of the first things I did to help with the noise. Thanks!

[@xavierpendrag0n]

Best sound reduction I have seen so far on those pumps, involved using a couple of small bungies and supporting the inlet and exit fuel supply and suspending it from like a lid or seat area. This is more like on the one's not encased but good info.

I don't know how good it would work in an all-in-one unit like mine since it's pretty cramped and I move it around from place to place. It might be worth a try. Thanks !

That fuel tank is incorrectly seated in the casing.... Have you got something out of placed or trapped under the tank....every time I open up the case and play about I get the same problem, tank not located correctly, usually if you pull the fuel cap back or forth it lines up and pops up into position where it should be.... Thanks for the video, just what I was looking for. I think I'll try and sound deaden the pump with some sort of fire proof wrap at a much cheeper cost... Mines located next to my campervan bed so it's so annoying. Thanks

[@dingbatnomad8235]

Why do you not use rec. Diesel for your heater?

[@jasonpotts6490]

on yours, it sounds like the sound is amplfied by the metal housing panels, like a little drum. On my external-pump type, it's a higher-pitch click. It sounds like yours has a click and a thud sound. I wonder if putting some cheap sound-deadening adhesive foam panels on the inside of that housing would decrease that thud sound. The empty part of the fuel tank may also resonate like a drum, so putting some of that sound-deadening foam on the sides/top of the tank would also help.

[@geenote]

I totally agree. I have some sound damping material to add just like you suggest. I never thought about adding to the fuel tank. Thanks for the good suggestions!

[@JamesPickles-w2k]

[@goldcountryruss7035]

The fuel line between the pump & burner is too soft and is expanding on every pulse so replace it with a more rigid hose. This will provide better & cleaner combustion + help with the noise. A lot of noise is transferring to the steel enclosure thru the rubber pump bracket so get rid of it entirely. Suspending the pump from above and below on a leather or rubber strap or even the old fuel line, hold it to the pump body with another (larger) hose clamp. The idea is to let the pump float quietly in its mount.

Use a peice of spiraled fuel pipe either side of pump to support it, about 4in long excluding length clamped each side onto the pump it's self will do it, that will safely suspend the pump, or you can use soft rubber suspension set up to hold the pump leaving it relatively free to move a small amountused l used both options, spiraled fuel line double ( clamps each side) and mounted pump furthest away l could get it.

Nice job.

Thanks!👍

Try suspending it from zip ties instead of using the mount

[@geenote]

Great idea. I'm going to experiment around with something like that. Thanks!

[@andrewgilbride7546]

@@geenote not my idea originally, seems to work though.

For $40 + labor I call that a fail. Insulate the pump from the case is free and better. If I had one for a camper or bedroom, it'd definitely be outside pumping warm air in through the heater hose. I wouldn't have the whole heater in the window or inside.

[@geenote]

I agree. Having the pump mounted away from the main unit would be best for a permanent set up. In my case, I'm always moving this all-in-one unit around. I have more insulation around the pump now which helped a little. Thanks for commenting.

Keith, As smart and as good a fixer as You are I believe You could make You a stove out of a propane burner. Of course the best and safest heat is an electric heater and a quiet generator. You might check Gonagain channel he heats a 6x10 Caro Trailer with a small propane heater.

[@geenote]

I will check it out. I agree the electric heater is the way to go if possible. Thanks!

Propane heaters makes much more moist than diesel heaters.

[@WayneTheSeine]

@@J1I9M7M4Y It is hard to believe but one pound of propane will produce 1.6 pounds of water....sounds like magic but it is true. That equals 26 oz of water added to the air for each one pound bottle. This not only causes condensation problems but can also cause you to feel cold.

[@demiscuzz6427]

Has any one got a link for this on uk ebay?

[@mooseunit2711]

Get rid of that steel case surrounding that heater, put the fuel tank and pump outside of the camper... you won't have to deal with diesel fuel inside and you won't hear the pump. Also, you'll save space inside of your camper.

[@geenote]

I agree that would work if I didn't use the same heater in multiple places.

[@mooseunit2711]

@@geenote I understand, However you can buy these things for $70.00 or less. I own several of them. They used to be thousands of dollars each before the patent expired a few years ago. Anyway just my 2 cents.

[@geenote]

So true. Surprisingly low price tag on these units. I have considered just purchasing a kit version with all the separate parts to use.@@mooseunit2711

@@geenote I was talking to an old retired trucker about these these heaters... I told him I bought 3 of them recently and his eyes got big and said those dalm things were almost $10,000 back in the 80s.

Don't waste your money, fit the unit outside and extend the tube, hey presto no clicking🎉

That would work. Thanks!

Not much of a difference in the basement slightly maybe you should try putting some of that black plumbing insulation for pipes around the pump should be no problem even a piece of mass loaded vinyl

[@geenote]

Good suggestion. I actually did that and it helps. Thank you!

[@geenote]

@@peterlaurancearmenio5545 I have seen similar videos of that same idea. My problem is I want to keep everything inside the all-in-one case so I can move it around to different places. I use the same heater to heat my basement, truck shell camper, and I also just posted a video using it to heat my pull behind RV camper. I wanted to add sound dampening material on the inside of the case but there isn't enough room.

[@oojimmyflip]

I turned the rubber mount upside down so that the pump rests on it rather than hangs on it and it is 50% quieter.

[@geenote]

Wow, I have not heard of anyone doing that. Thank you!

[@freakyflow]

I see alot of videos on chinese heaters And $1500 heaters I think the Zen would be a $200 that does the job quiet and last a few years a upgraded Chinese heater should do this That being said Take the fuel pump Wrap it like a hockey stick handle with silicon rubber tape Don't throw it in a box with foam Unless you are going into the speaker box business ...Hollow out a dollar store Noodle That you use in pool cut it down to 6 inches throw that over it and zip tie that ...I bet you You have a upgraded pump for under $40

[@geenote]

Yes! I have already taken a dense piece of foam rubber and wrapped around the pump to make an improvement. Thanks for sharing some ideas.

[@coreybabcock2023]

I wrapped hand towels around mine for now

[@geenote]

Anything to deaden the sound makes sense to me. Thanks.
