ULTRA QUIET Diesel Heater Fuel Pump + Air Filter Tested

We pick two of the newest Diesel Heater upgrades that claim to be ULTRA QUIET to review. One is an unusual quiet fuel pump and one is the HUGEST air filter for the intake we've ever seen for a Chinese Diesel Heater.
In the first part of the video I review the ultra quiet fuel pump on my 5KW Chinese Diesel Heater.
The second part sees me test out the mother of all air filters - seriously it's so different from anything seen before.
The Products in this video (and the previous one):
Ultra Quiet Diesel Heater Pump with filter: amzn.to/3zgpi7B
Diesel Heater Air Filter: ebay.us/NL7d7U
An Alternative Ultra Quiet Fuel Pump without the filter: amzn.to/3tccJYh

Don't be shy with product suggestions for me to test either, and if you have found the video interesting please give it a like - it helps us reach more people and keeps us motivated to make more.
We will be back with more videos soon, including with the thing mentioned at the end of this very video.
Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching folks. Let us know what you think of these diesel heater upgrades - or if you've used anything different. Hope you enjoy 🙂 - oh and the EGR experiment will be soon too.

I have the same air filter that you installed in this video, but I got mine for about 7 dollars American 2 years ago, they are great, but you need to add a screen to the opening to keep bugs and critters out

[@WanderbusAdventures]

That's good to hear @@jamesmason7124 and makes sense about it collecting critters etc. What did you use to cover it over?

[@jamesmason7124]

@@WanderbusAdventures fine stainless steel mesh that you can get at hobby shops and hot glue gun

[@WanderbusAdventures]

@@jamesmason7124thank you.

[@PaulRansonArt]

I've seen other mechanics using a shop vac in the fuel nozzel to create some suction to stop fuel leaking out. Same for oil changes until you get the sump plug out. 😃😃

[@WanderbusAdventures]

That’s a great tip Paul. Also one I could’ve used for many an oil change 😂. Thanks for this.

[@FrosGarage]

i put my stock pump in a 2x6 box i made and i put it outside, i cant hear a thing anymore.

[@WanderbusAdventures]

That’s a neat solution. Have seen people insulate them too.

[@markusthuresson4612]

I had an extra exhaust muffler for my diesel heater, and I installed that between the heater and air intake filter! That made a huge difference on the air intake noise! Try it out and measure with the decibel meter, curious how much of a difference it makes in numbers 😊

[@WanderbusAdventures]

That’s worth trying - like this idea because it wouldn’t limit air flow either if you used one of of the standard silencers. Will see if I’ve got my old original one and give it a go. Nice idea mate. Thank you.

[@Jeep_van]

Hi there I'm doing very similar to you.i have a sprinter van.im running a 5kw cheap heater.like everyone the pump tik is horrendous.im plumping up to get disel from my van tank,so pump will be under the van.im looking at buying the same pump you did.1 tip I can give is I'm installing a 1 way valve before the pump so it's always primed.i also pulled my pump apart today very obvious why they are loud...I'm still fiddling around Il keep you posted.thanks for making your video

[@WanderbusAdventures]

That’s a neat idea on the one way valve. Let us know how you get on with the install. Good luck.

[@ian_morg]

Nice upgrade to the pump there! That intake filter is a whopper! That’ll hold tonnes of guff! 😂😂

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Yeah i will keep an eye on the filter for sure. The yellow one is the fave for sure. It’s a whopper - will run it a while and see how it goes 😂

[@SkyPilot54]

Are these pumps in line pumps that can be hooked up to 12volts and run

[@WanderbusAdventures]

That’s right on both counts yes.

[@dogdazetravellergarrett1367]

Potatoe or pototoe, not enough difference either way. Thanks for your vidro😎👍

[@WanderbusAdventures]

No problem. We can't hear the ticking inside any more, so that is progress. Thanks for watching

[@barrywatler7482]

Hi ya all Merry Christmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year may it be more adventurous for you. Take care and stay safe from a het Qld 🥵🎄🎅🧑‍🎄🚎🥰

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Hey Barry. Merry Christmas to you mate. Take care

[@ua420]

While the heater is just have burning chamber and quite cheap. I wonder if it makes sense to filter intake air

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Possibly, you do get a lot of noise from the intake. I will give this big filter a longer test, but may seek a smaller mesh filter in the near future.

[@H3Humper]

I am interested to see the EGR system you've rigged up!

[@WanderbusAdventures]

I’ve assembled all the parts for this but other projects have taken over on the bus. It will definitely be done for this winter. Have a bit of a novel idea for how to make it work.

[@NAVY_NFO]

What does the "22ml" rating actually mean? When I calculate flow on low, I get 2.1ml/min and on high I get 5.7ml/min. Where the heck is this 22ml rating coming from?

[@WanderbusAdventures]

That's a really good question, and not one I fully know the answer to. I have read that it means it can draw 22ml from the tank; but unsure how it meters the 'push' within the pump. Maybe it's so the pump is always primed? Why I did it is I could see my old one was a 22ml, but never thought why it is 22ml. Thanks for the question - will continue to look into it or hopefully someone else might know.

[@lexloose2112]

I thought it meant .22ml per tick/pump

[@davidfaulkner6008]

Hi, I bought one of those pumps and can report that it is certainly way WAY quieter.... there is a small hole above the gauze ...should it be mounted so that the hole is at the bottom and therefore covered by the fuel level or at the top so it isnt ?.... I asked the seller but of course got no response thanks

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Ah great that you’ve also found it quieter. The hole in above the gauze on mine is in the filter container - is that the one you mean?

[@davidfaulkner6008]

Yes, right on top of the gauze filter.......I wondered if that's the outlet?

[@WanderbusAdventures]

@@davidfaulkner6008hey David. Looking at the video back I see what you mean. The hole lets the fuel into the pump. It enters in the bottom, the mesh filters the fuel to fill the clear filter bowl and the goes through that hole (and through the second little mesh filter) into the pump.

[@davidfaulkner6008]

​@stevelast3429 been running ok with hole covered ...I also wondered if it is the outlet

[@katrinagray7733]

Hope it all goes ok and was worth your efforts.

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Will report back for sure. Thanks for watching 😊

[@mrleobrincat]

Can you fit my diesel heater please

[@WanderbusAdventures]

You’ve got this 😊. What model are you buying? We might be able to let you know what to upgrade (if anything). Thanks for watching.

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

Got one of those fuel filters last week off Ebay for £13.00

[@WanderbusAdventures]

Any good for you?
