No More Ticking: How This Quiet Fuel Pump Changed the Diesel Heater Game for Winter Camping! Part #3

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

I got that pump and have the same heater as y'all. I also purchased the silicon boot thats encloses dose pump. I suspended pump with nylon ties to eliminated the transfer of any noise to heater cabinet. I dont hear pump after 2 minutes of operation. This is 2nd season with it, already used it to heat 2 car garage this year, still silent! Happy Trails!

[@j.saavedra1502]

Michael what part of the country are you in? I'm thinking about using a diesel heater to heat my 2 car garage but I wonder if it can keep up in a Minnesota winter.

[@Popcornbeetle]

Can you share more info and possibly a link to the boot you’re talking about?

[@inventor1v]

If you double up on the exhaust silencers it will be even quieter on that end.

[@alecjames1426]

You need to have the pipe facing down to stop condensation in the exhaust which is acidic

[@sherburnoutdoors]

Thanks for the advice, started doing that now

[@hunkercreek]

@@sherburnoutdoors Agree and as you had it in the video, the 'thin' edge of the exhaust you'll see has a hole in it which drains any moisture from the line, hence the continuous down slope from heater to outlet. The other 'thin' side has the mounting rivet hole. Great video and I've changed my brand on 'low noise' pump I was planning to order to the one in your video.

[@Hondacr250ful]

Just installed the new fuel pump. It IS almost quiet . No hard ticking 👍👍

[@stanmonk2851]

Talk too much, could never hear anything the heater was doing.

[@crx350x1]

Got the same unit more or less. I took the cover off, put some zip ties here and there, some grommets. (It’s cheap) Took the rubber bracket off around the fuel pump and literally surrounded the pump with pink insulation. I barely hear the pump over the fan anyways. Cheap and quick.

[@strykerliker]

Could you wrap the fuel pump in Rockwool? it does a great job in my living room walls for noise reduction. And a combustion rating of over 2000 degrees.

[@Gary-ee3kq]

@strykerliker I wrapped mine in 4 micro fiber cloths. It's now almost completely masked by the fan noise.

[@74willy81]

Great info on the fuel pump, thank you. One thing you should be aware of when using an infrared thermometer is that they work by detecting infrared emissions. Not all surfaces are equal in this regard. Shiny surfaces are notorious for lack of emissivity. Flat black and strangely enough water work very well. Do a quick Google on infrared emissivity tables to shed some insight into their accuracy on various surfaces.

[@johnmccann1234]

I also used sound deaden-er on the outside of the heater to help with the noise. (I had the material from using it in areas on my truck that needed deadening). Also, a couple of short 2x4's make great legs for giving yourself a little more space under the unit

[@AJ-qn6gd]

We have an Eberspacher diesel heater mounted underneath our VW T5 camper van and in the handbook it describes the pump as “near silent” I can honestly say that I’ve never heard the pump either inside or outside the van, just shows that these pumps can be very quiet 👍🏻🇬🇧

Nice video, thanks, I have two older heaters - a Webasto 12v and an Eberspacher 24v - both from decades ago but in really nice condition. The control units were pre-digital and are mechanical and they are not in such good shape - having being mounted on boats where they got exposed to weather, getting knocked, etc. My question is whether one can get a generic modern control unit for them and so put them to good use, or should I just bin them and just buy a new Chinese one cheaply and with all the control gear with it? It just seems a shame to waste them... thanks for any ideas on this.

I used header wrap that I use on my Harley. You can touch the exhaust pipe and it is just warm. The best way to use the heat wrap is to soak it in water to keep the glass fibers from getting on you.

[@carlschwarz4935]

I did that on an 8KW diesel heater with a couple of layers. When the heater is on full it still gets too hot to touch and will melt plastic. Maybe the stuff I used wasn't as good as yours?

[@troytaylor1913]

Exactly. I soak it in water before wrapping headers on hotrods. I think it wraps tighter and looks nicer when finished. It seems like water makes it more flexible like a wet lubricant and it helps keep those fibers from breaking.

[@troytaylor1913]

A coup of drops of soap might make it better I might try that someday.

So I looked up this pump on the Amazonian and looking at the reviews. There's a lot of people saying that either it doesn't sound quieter and worse, many people saying that it functioned for a few hours and then the pump just died! So I wonder, since your vid is now over a year, how has the "quieter' pump stood up? Did it last and remain quiet or did you have to put the original back in? I'm just about to press the button to order the Vevor "upgraded" version and wonder if I should just order that pump. I also wonder, if you or others have just tried to dampen the sound of the original pump? Perhaps by wrapping it in some kind of sound dampening wrap and perhaps adding some of that on the lines too. As well, putting dampening material in the inside walls of the case itself. Has anyone tried that and if so, did it work at all?

[@bobdebouwer7835]

Do the standard pumps run warm? I've wrapped mine in a cotton shirt and it's quiet now. Just wondering if it will lead to problems.

Fired heater last night, loud tick from pump but didn't realize what it was at the time. Removed cover today, fuel line taping in cover, also noisy pump. Left over batting insulation beside heater from previous owner, stuff some around pump and fuel line. Zero tapping once heater is running. Will likely re route pump and insulate with board foam but atleast we know insulation helps a ton.

Ran heater for 20 mins during day to see if any parts near pump get warm or hot, everything was cool to the touch so in theory it will work but not the safest. Ok for a quick hack until you can relocate.

It's actually at the top, but best read the reviews. LOTS of negative reviews, some saying that it's not any quieter and worse, many saying that it worked for a few hours or few days and the dosing pump just stopped working. The thing is with that, it raises the questions, "is the pump so poorly made that it just died" or worse "is the pump pulling way too many amps that it pooched the motherboard?" I wish someone, how has one of these, would do an amperage test then look at the MOSFETS that power it to see their ratings. That might answer this.

The reason the fuel pump makes noise is because it is literally a click pump and it is absolutely required because the fuel pump is what controls the settings. If you took the fuel pump out the unit would not function or likely just catch on fire because the fuel would just flow through without any restrictions.

I first installed a espar heater in my 1998 peterbilt back in 2001. The espar heater was the original, these cheap Chinese heaters was modeled after the espar. I slept under that heater thousands of times in the 17 years I had the truck and not one time did the clicking ever bother me. In some ways I found it comforting, knowing it way 17 degrees outside and my heater was clicking and humming right along.

It's a warm tick.

The Chinese are smart there aftermarket replacement parts are the real profits

Just add some used filtered cooking oil (up to 70%) and the higher viscosity will make the clicking almost silent. Best way to prepare the cooking oil is using some pork gelatine desolved in boiling water, add it to the used oil and mix it. Let it cool down, and most of the gunk will settle at the bottom. Use the clear oil on the top and filter it.

Used cooking a big NO from us and only ise home heating fuel or a decent road diesel as we have been using those heaters for years.

[@troy7124]

Yeah that's the best thing you can do if you're trying to ruin your heater

[@bluethunderbug]

​@@troy7124 It is for sure not recommended, but I have run it like this for 1 and 1/2 season, with no big issues. For me, it has been a great succes, considering the heater was only 120 euro. Diesel prices here (Europe) are insane, so this is a cheap alternative. I am sure I will need to clean it more often and it will need more regular service intervals, but that is a risk I am willing to take.

[@chicknool1137]

you need a new garage door! 😃

[@sherburnoutdoors]

I got one a couple of months ago

[@internetuser1183]

Bad reviews on these upgraded pumps ppl saying they don’t last long

[@sherburnoutdoors]

22 nights so far in 20 degree weather and no issues SO FAR.

[@patrickpurcell3671]

They last as long as the original ones and are as reliable just a little quieter especially when on max heating.

[@Aerogrow]

I screwed foot extenders to mine to get rid of burning issue; also helps keeping exhaust pointed down. Wraps only help marginally. If running outside; the old trick is to drill a 1/8 or smaller hole on bottom of pipe by outlet if you need to point up; lets water drip out and increases flow.

[@michaelh3994]

Pumps are noisy at low hertz and most quiet at his setting h6

[@sherburnoutdoors]

They are but this replacement pump I put on is quieter

[@kamikazekunze]

Get no sleep? You’re not tired enough. Build a box, line it with kill mat and love happily ever after. 😂

[@sherburnoutdoors]

I am a light sleeper, not an issue anymore with the quieter pimp

[@TuzzaB]

Hi, I can't find your link to the new pump anywhere in your vid post, any chance you could please add a link in a quick reply here, sorry to be a punishing viewer. Great vid, thanks.

[@kieronmarshall2658]

you'll rot out the exhaust having it pointed up as the vapour cant all escape.
