First Error Code on the Diesel Heater (Amateur Mistake)

[@XCX237]

I have only ever had to clean a woodstove chiming yearly and sometimes 2 years. I run any wood I can get. Maybe it's because I run the stove hotter by using a damper on the airtight stoves. Even when I've cleaned the pipes it hasn't been that bad. 🤔 Your installation is perfect.

[@downtoearth1950]

Amazed at your creosote build up, here in Australia our flue only has an annual clean out......Yes! Your cement sheet solution is an excellent solution......p.s. maybe your wood is not as dry as you think it is! 😮

[@eugeneschliepp8337]

Good idea to have backups for heating!!

Love the Diesel Heater Idea, and that Wood Stove build up in the Chimney Pipe would scare the crap outa Me, I'd keep a constant check on that. Thanks for sharing the Link, looks like it could be what I'll need for My RV in the Future, come Summer I plan on moving Off-Grid, great Video, thanks for sharing! 👍🤠

You made it 3 days and got the E-08. I got that code on day one.☺ In my case I had air bubbles in the fuel line from experimenting with an aftermarket fuel tank, fuel line, and filter. Now that I'm back to using the appropriate size fuel line, the heater is working just fine. I saw on another channel the issues with the cap not breathing. I just loosen it a bit before running the heater. It worked for the guy in the video, and so far it seems to be working for me. Cheers.

A serious error code on a wood burner is one you never wake up from. The build up has all the hallmarks of a cold flue. Mine has much thicker metal, and at times my burner walls become cherry red. That's hot. I've never had build up like yours. The glass also self cleans at higher temperatures.

Thank you for posting Jenna. The cement board gasket you put around the inlet pipe from the heater looks like a good solve. Great you figured out the diesel heater problem. Take care.

[@Prariedog]

Wow that pipe was plugged up .hope you get the error code sorted out . Have a great day Jenna 🌞 I hope you have a fresh air intake close to your woodstove .

Tile guy says you know wtf is going on with tile floor and fireproof surrounding 👍🇨🇦

[@outdoorsman357]

Had the same problem with my diesel heater,but I ended up switching to a 5 gallon tank for convenience of not filling it as often

[@dangeroustoman]

I disconnected my stove to get my fridge out of my camper van, long story short. I found if you place a can of soup ( just pop the top or put hole in ) about 4" inches away from the diesel heater vent, you can have hot soup in a half hour.

I know Mr. Heater works. Wood stove. Diesel heater and I saw a guy who camps in his truck and uses a 12v electric blanket. Stay warm GJ cheers 🍻

[@gypsyjenna]

I have an electric blanket, dont use it much, not a bad idea if u got decent power

[@im_agine852]

Holy cow that's some creosote buildup. Good thing you caught that.

[@greagior]

I appreciate your work

[@chucktheperson1063]

If you going to use the diesel heat for the winter, consider a above ground tank. Get the local fuel supplier to fill with furnace oil. I know the tanks have to be certified in Nova Scotia but maybe you can pick up a used one with a few years left on certification.

[@gypsyjenna]

Thanks. Plan on using it as back up heat only. Woodstove will be main source of heat

[@sarge5470]

Jenna!!!! Friday!!! time for a new video

[@outdoorsman357]

Wow we have used a wood stove 40+ year's and I've never seen anything like that build up

[@Prariedog]

Great video Jenna

[@grahamlack3302]

Well done Jenna very resourceful mind you, you need a carbon monoxide sensor why cause you precious ....

[@nortonis3565]

Hello Jenna, i like follow you videos, keep up your good spirit.Cheers from Norway.

[@trinityledge]

Hi GJ ! Thanks for the update on the diesel heater and error code(s) ! Still thinking it might be a good one to travel with in my R.V. A thought on your wood stove,,, have you thought about using the thicker chrome type insulated stove pipe (yes, I know it's a bit pricey, but you probably wouldn't need much) ? I'm getting an update from my old one and will be using the chrome insulated type with a new smaller wood stove for my 600 sq/ft cottage in s.w.n.s. Great idea with the cement board as a stand off for your heat vent *safety 1st* I hope you can juggle out some steady dependable heat for your abode through the winter !!

[@crazywayne7051]

Yes code 8 no fuel in the fuel line basically. Number one cause empty fuel tank. Number two a small hole in the fuel line sucking air. Number three usually happens when the temperature it's zero fahrenheit or lower the fuel will gel and thicken and pump slower causing the heater not to reach full internal temperature. You can go into the book and do the fuel pump priming or you can do it the caveman's fashion just unplug the fuse and plug it back in this will clear the code and the pump will pump again but it may reset the code until the air bubbles have cleared.

[@NYCamper62]

Well, looks as if you can use the diesel heater while you clean the stove pipes. Every 2 weeks sounds like a lot but routine.

[@josephfoster1445]

Funny, I was going to ask about any snow yet and the video ends with rain. I suppose it will be there before you know it!

[@charlestimothy4345]

I had the pipe temp gauge higher up the pipe away from the stove. Couple feet up. Wonder if you're getting a false reading of the heat in the pipe. Also a good hot fire would have no smoke.

[@gypsyjenna]

According to the instructions when I first got it, it suggested 18 inches up from the stove

[@greagior]

I run a Mr heater 18000btuwith a Mr heater big buddy on a 30lb tank for backup

[@outrigger9553]

Great job...

[@FrankBullitt390]

Could the angle of the pipe be whats causing the creosote?

[@gypsyjenna]

I have wondered that myself. Before the air tight, I had a pot belly stove. It got super hot, unbearably so but I never had a creosote issue lol

[@mazenoshana1136]

[@hbrunet72]

Are you using soft wood? Any conifer tree is soft, so pine, spruce, etc ... those develop more creosote than hard wood does ... My parents heat their house with wood and this is what they have learned over the last 25 years of heating with wood. As per your last video, I'm really keeping an eye on your diesel heater updates. I don't think we can afford to get one this year, but it's good info to have for the future. How many running hours did it take for it to go through that tank of fuel?

[@gypsyjenna]

Just using hard wood in the wood stove. I haven't run the heater long enough yet to test out how long the fuel lasts. At the moment just running it for a few hours at a time

[@hbrunet72]

@@gypsyjenna Good to hear about the wood ... I have learned that not a lot of people know that about soft wood and creosote. Ok, thanks for the update on the heater ... really very interested in that lol

[@jedidiah5131]

@@hbrunet72 For those that don't know: Improper burning or improper installation of your stove with any wood will cause creosote buildup, 9 times out of 10 people donot do a proper burn cycle, required more with older model stoves and harder to accomplish in smaller spaces. Mobile homes/trailers the length of the flue/stove pipe is usually the issue, its never long enough to have a proper draft,1 meter longer makes a big difference, but that will cost you another bundle of cash and leaving a window open 5cm seems counter productive when its -30. Your manual will tell you everything you want to know about your stove.

Good work 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@patriciascholey3598]

That's crazy how much creosote there was in your stove pipe. That's not normal. The weird thing was, it wasn't just in the bottom, but all the way up. Have you tried to contact a woodstove place and ask them what could be causing it? Especially if you've been burning dry wood and hot.

[@gypsyjenna]

I haven't yet. Not sure why it's happening
