I have one. Route the intake inside and reduce fuel consumption by 50%. mount your fuel pump to a piece of pool noodle and the noise will stop. and, a stick of 3/4 inch electrical conduit fits perfectly to extend the exhaust. Have fun! I love mine!

Those heaters are supposed to mount inside and the burn air intake and exoust go outside. With the heater inside it is pulling in inside air to heat so it is more efficient than what You are seeing because You are always heating cold air.

I don't trust them enough to mount inside my house. Yes they aren't meant for houses but some of us need temporary solutions. You could pull fan and burner intakes from the inside of the house. I have mine in a semi insulated barrel with vent lines insulated running into my house. Not pretty, but one could make cosmetic changes if they were clever.

I don't think the mounting outside is an issue, and it does help with noise, but yes, the air intake from indoors helps in many ways, stops odors, drafting and allows the unit not to have to work as hard so you can run on lower settings helping with fuel usage.. good points!

Neat unit, good idea adapting a vehicle heater to heat a house. And yes, get that exhaust up above the air intake bc that is a seriously large Carbon Monoxide risk as it is. Even better would be to run the air intake into the house, no risk of CO and you'll get much warmer air plus no cold air coming in while it starts up

CarbonMonoxide sinks more than air... if you put the exhaust above the intake, you are more likely to suck in the "falling" exhaust... Exhaust should be the lowest point in the system. Vent Hole in the muffler should point down. Muffler outlet should point sideways. The point of not leaving it anywhere close to UP, is so rain water and condensation can't form a puddle in the exhaust.

There is a small hole in one side of the small exhaust muffler. This is a moisture drain-hole The Muffler needs to be oriented as you have it but vertical so that hole is at the bottom. This will then let collected moisture drain out and with luck no vapour expelled when starting up. Also check out videos on ideas for reclaiming more heat from the exhaust tube to get even more economy :)

On your point about the fan running before the unit is putting out heat, there are some newer units that have the ability to program the fan separately. And there are some aftermarket controllers (The Afterburner) reviewed by youtuber David McLuckie that have other advanced features. If your air supply (not combustion air, but house air supply) is drawing 'less cold' air from inside the home, the trip through the cold and starting heater does remove some heat, but the resulting 'return air' is not as cold as if the supply is directly from a very cold outside. A low tech workaround is to devise an 'air valve' where your heated air enters the home, with a physical flap routing the return air outside during the startup phase. Important note for such air valves: If the air flowing over the heater is not allowed to move because you have somehow blocked the movement of air, you could have a dangerous buildup of heat inside the heater case and damage the electronic board and possibly cause fire. So be sure to create an air valve that never blocks the air from moving across the heater fins. Additionally, there is a great series on these heaters by Australian youtuber John McK 47 that covers a great deal of useful details on how these work and the ways to optimize a system. Good Video. Thanks.

Something like that might work out in my shop for heat in the winter....yes, the startup on them is very slow, sometimes they never start at all, and is also another common complaint...however, most of the other videos on these where they're being so nice in their review is because they're being paid by the company they got it from to do the review, in exchange they get a free diesel heater. The cost on them isn't too bad, and that clicking fuel pump sounds exactly like the electric fuel pump on my tractor, they're pretty loud, but so is the fan they have in those heaters.

Good review. As other have stated if your air intake were routed inside you would not only gain much greater fuel efficiency but it would also correct the problem of it pumping cold air in for the startup time. With the unit itself mounted indoors, the unit is always at room temperature. I can imagine where up North in extreme cold the units efficiency would be greatly effected by being directly exposed to the extreme cold. If you were installing in a very well sealed environment then the intake outside would make some sense as it would bring in fresh air. Here in the south, the heater would quickly become clogged with dirtdobber nest. The little assholes love plugging up everything. In our case, it only makes sense to mount the entire unit inside and port the exhast and exchanger intake outside....best of all worlds there. Plus the entire unit would be out of the weather.

$5 a gallon of diesel, 2 and a half gallons for 25 to 30 hours of run time. $12.50 every 25 to 30 hours. That’s 24 tanks of fuel a month, $300 a month when it’s only a low of 33 degrees to heat 1 room. Doesn’t seem very cost effective to me. I understand there is a very specific use for those heaters but in a house doesn’t make sense to me. Many more cost effective ways to heat a room.

Even if he was recirculating and running on a lower 1.8hz setting, electric heat is still cheaper unless he's off grid. Definately a money saver in a vehicle if using to avoid idling. Last winter mine probably saved more than what I paid for it just sitting in front of a laundromat on my day off one day a week for 1.5-2 hours. Maybe burned 3/4 of the 10L tank total for the 5-6 months I used it. Compare that to approx 86L of gas to idle for 39 hours. (0.6L per L of engine displacement per idle hour)

Your heater will burn about 12.5 litres of fuel in 100 hours in the low setting .125 litres per hour. Even if you are not pulling air from the other side of the bedroom, you should be pulling air from inside, and definitely away from the exhaust. Exhaust that doesn't stink can still be deadly, and most people who die from CO poisoning die in their sleep. I currently run two of these heaters without any inlet or mufflers, and one with no pipe at all. There is a difference, but I don't find them that noisy. That being said... one is in my garage and one is in a vehicle... so I'm not trying to sleep. These heaters usually take about 3-4 minutes before they actually start blowing heat. This is because the combustion air and heating air share the same motor, and also why they cost $100 - $200 and not much much more. To start a flame and then start blowing hot air, you not only need two motors, but also a control system. The 3 minutes of cold air makes more sense than the added complexity and cost. These are designed to be parking heaters for vehicles / trucks... At the end of your driving shift, you shut your engine off and turn your heater on. The heater would recirculate the air and not pull cold air from outside, so this would not be a problem. I'm not sure what the price of diesel is where you live, where I live, propane would be a MUCH better alternative for heating a living space. I love these heaters, but I think they are often used in ways that doesn't make sense.

Just an idea and please point out a reason if I'm wrong but here goes. Why not have the air intake from inside the building? For one it'll be warmer air than outside especially when temps get lower and may allow it to run on a lower setting as a result. Plus it'll eliminate the fume intake and cold through draft when it's not running.

That is the goal in the future. Right now it was setup just to test it the way it is used to heat a tent.

If you put The air intake into the house the first few minutes and it’s pumping cold air will be pumping the same temperature air that’s in the house already so I don’t think you’d notice it as much just my thoughts I’m going to install mine within the next week and I’ve been looking at all of these things here and I’m gonna try to do it that way with the air intake in the house and the air hexedine into the house also so your recycle in the air that’s in the house

Should have the cold air return hooked up to the bedroom too that way it's pulling from the house and then going back into the house

Very dangerous setup to have exhaust and heated air intake (i.e. the air you breathe) in the same space. The whole point of these is that the heated air is isolated from the combustion output.

On mine, I put the rubber onto that plumber's tape that metal stuff with all the little holes in it, then I put it on to another piece of rubber and then mounted it to the wall stops a lot of the ticking sound definitely need to bring that cold air return into the house though

The heater should not be mounted outside. That's majority of your problems.

So you heat outside air to push inside? Why not pull the air from inside , heat and blow back in

you should make another hole in a wall and connect another hose to be connected to the heater and in this way you will have more heat in the house and the smell of smoke from outside will no longer enter🤩🤩🤩

If you route the intake for the hot air inside it would be much more efficient and you wont have a draft when its not running.

You can solve the diesel smell by running the inlet inside the building. That will also make more efficient your heater, probably cutting by half your fuel consumption...
