Thanks for doing these tests. Very informative

[@DIYJIM]

Glad you like them!

[@CanadianNortherner-i8g]

I'm getting pretty much the same numbers ! Great Video man ! 👍👍 Thanks 👍

[@DIYJIM]

Awesome thanks for watching

[@evangorman2]

Very thorough and informative. Thanks much.

[@DIYJIM]

I appreciate that, thanks for watching.

[@1965ace]

For efficiency and clean burning the burn chamber should be around the same temperature for all settings, The difference is the volume of air heated.

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching and for your feedback!

Hi Just got a LF Bros unit for the ice fishing tent. Right now it's -24 C In Manitoba. Plan on setting up the tent tomorrow in the yard to see what it can do.

[@DIYJIM]

Hope it works out for you

[@maxanderson4278]

Can you share with us how it worked? Much appreciated.

[@Plumber_Dave]

@@maxanderson4278 It worked fine. heated it up to about +9 C in the tent. If you were going in and out of the tent often you would probably need another source of heat as well.

[@PetRatty]

The pumps will have a ml rating on them, usually 0.06ml per click, times that by the Hz rate, times by 60 seconds, times by 60 minutes. That is your exact fuel consumption. Hoping to get one fitted tonight in the van but it's dark now and -2C

[@DIYJIM]

thanks for the info and thanks for watching

[@jimmy4518]

just to clarify on how you report electricity consumption, you use the measurement of kWh or Ah used and how long it was run for while being tracked. this gives you an accurate amount of energy used over a set amount of time. not how many cents you pay per day, nor how many watts its currently using. i do appreciate your info gathering.

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching, I’ll try to make it more clear in the future

[@vittoesmith1]

In you personnel or professional opinion would you recommend this for heating a 500 Sq.Ft. park model R.V.? Can you use a longer split hose or possibly hook into the existing duct work? The video is very, very informative. Going to have to check out some of you other videos. God Bless.

[@DIYJIM]

If it were me, I think I would try it. How cold is it where you’re at?

[@brianvandervlugt8092]

That is very interesting. Thanks for doing the video.

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching!

[@nickabel8279]

In my experience. Cold air intake outside can lower the output temp by over 100 degrees. Running 1 in my house. 1 in my garage and 1 in my pickup

[@DIYJIM]

I'm going to have to try this. Thanks for watching

[@nickabel8279]

@DIYJIM mine kept over heating so in tuning I dropped hz .2 and raised minimum fan to 2200

[@JoeyHale-jb8xv]

Mine I run while burninging some avocado oil heater, on low, my solsr runs it well and keeps my shack high enough for me to wear shorts in the teens. Cool video and if ppl seal off the cold air, its teice as effective as the garage area. My shack is about the same size but sealed off, I barely put on anything but shorts and a tank top cause i use a separate fan to help push the heat around, same fan takes the heat up by the celling and brings it back down as it flows past the heaters again.

[@DIYJIM]

I’m glad you’re getting good results with yours, thanks for sharing.

[@hansluckoff190]

How can you go wrong for that price and the efficiency. Great video.

[@DIYJIM]

thanks for watching

[@robertwilliams-mc9et]

a good test i have a 8kwh kroak the same company.very good heaters.i have found its hotter with out the tube and the directional fitting.i havn't tested it with a tester but it is noticeable hotter,

[@robertwilliams-mc9et]

i forgot to add mine doesn't click only on first start up,then its silent but if you touch the casing you can feel it

[@DIYJIM]

I would guess without the tube, the air blows thru better. Thanks for watching and for the tip

[@Richard-nb4iv]

I just bought a diesel heater. 5kw to heat 500sqft garage. I still need to setup the unit. I am curious to see how long the run times are. Thanks for the video!

[@DIYJIM]

Hope it keeps you warm, thanks for watching

[@iggyrulz420]

I think these heaters alway have a 0ppm CO reading because it doesnt have open combustion to the space being heated. It heats the fins around the combustion chamber and a fan moves air over them. All the gases are vented through the exhaust outside. I like the ideas where people run some extra exhaust pipe and a fan, or radiant heater before going outside to scavenge the heat from the exhaust.

[@theboston3386]

Merry belated Christmas.

[@DIYJIM]

thanks you and thanks for watching

[@Vera-xu3xw]

The fan speed doesn't change, just the pump spoed, right? The temperature should change if that's true.

[@DIYJIM]

They both change. Thanks for watching

[@outdoorsman357]

My fan speeds goes up, as I turn up the heater

[@resinate]

is there one that can be used with camping that doesnt req a battery or power src? just starts of the gas itself?

[@DIYJIM]

Some use a buddy heater. But do some research on them not as nice. Cause lots of moisture.

[@rabbitLifelove]

I wonder why they claim it will run for 50 hours on lower settings

[@DIYJIM]

I would guess it looks better for advertising. That is why you watch us KZbinrs so we can show you the truth. thanks for watching

[@chadherron5740]

if you think of it you are puting heat in the space. If r value is good enough you can heat a bigger space than rated or smaller its relitive. not knocking it i bought one i like the idea of it for deer camp

[@DIYJIM]

I use my wood stove to heat my garage. I was just trying this diesel heater out. Just a little test. The company sent it to me to test out. Thanks for watching

[@jaysonstebbins2539]

Just ran a test on mine and got 16 hours on high on 1.2 gallons on road diesel. I put a board like that in my window with the vent pointing inside but ran the unit outside. Tested for emergency use. It was 20°F outside and kept my 1600 sq. Foot house at 71°F. It's a newer home so it's well decently insulated. 8 hours on the house and 8 hours on the shed btw. Not the full 16 hours on just the house. Nice ti know I can run this for 10 hours easy on a gallon of diesel. I'm in East Tennessee preparing for this ice storm tomorrow and i got 5 gallons on hand and planty more down the road at a neighbors if I need more lol. I use a solar generator for power outages so I'm good on power. We'll see what the storm brings.

[@DIYJIM]

Sounds like you're prepared for the storm! Thanks for watching, say warm and safe

[@jaymesking3210]

I got 1 from Rokkit the fuel tank hold about 1.25 gallons and it burns thru the tank in less than 24 hours

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching

[@stevedutcher3875]

Nice

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching!

[@colingraham6125]

In the UK one gallon can be as much as £6 a gallon. This has me questioning this idea. How does this compare to your local cost?

[@DIYJIM]

Diesel is around $3.93 a gallon here in PA

[@BlondieHappyGuy]

Depending on which "gallon" size being referred to, in the UK, I believe you also use Imperial gallons as we do here in Canada. Here, 1 imperial gallon is 4.55 liters. In the US, 1 US gal is 3.785. If my math is right, at $3.93 per US Gal, would be about $1.04 per liter. Around these parts, we haven't seen gasoline or diesel that low in a few years now. Today, the lowest gas per liter was $1.459, while diesel was around $1.607 per liter.

[@Jobey_99]

@@BlondieHappyGuy I just worked it out, 1 imperial gallon for me in the the UK is $11.83 CAD or $8.19 USD. That's going from £1.45 per litre. even with the costs I have one of these on order to heat a small garage workshop that has no power. my plan after everything is setup is to run on red diesel as it's around half the price here.

[@Thairang74]

Oil for heating is around $4,45 per galon Diesel for car is around $6,22 per galon in Sweden

[@shhs6127]

​@@Thairang74 in Sweden is price in LITER !! 😂

[@coachgeo]

with price of diesel in my area coming down...... that $/day almost matches my electric heating. Still little higher than electric though.

[@DIYJIM]

thanks for watching

[@broketrucker-q3j]

could,I use my diesel tractor ,,as a heater.?park it next to my house..

[@MyWasteOfTime]

Sorry but "I'll do a 1 gallon test" Then... stops at 1/2 way empty???

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for commenting

[@MyWasteOfTime]

@@DIYJIM You did a good job of building up the video, good thumbnail, good content but I just felt left hanging. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Why is your hat on backwards?

[@DIYJIM]

It was windy out, thanks for watching

[@alisaheart510]

A gallon of diesel cost 4 dollars how are you getting 7 cents a day

[@DIYJIM]

For electricity I’m sure I said that.

[@gone51572]

What are you talking about three cents a day with kilowatt hours is this AC or DC? I have only seen one other one that is AC and DC both. Diesel is expensive just to run it for a day would cost you $10 where I live

[@DIYJIM]

Diesel is about 3.50-$3.90 a gallon here. Thanks for watching. I’m running it on AC.
