Vevor diesel heater unboxing and review

[@MyAlaska12]

I've seen where if you have the exhaust too close to the air intake, you could be sucking exhaust back into the cabin. Also, i saw where someone plumbed the exhaust into a cast iron radiator so it heated up the radiator. Cool setup. Thanks for sharing Tony

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

I have also seen the exhaust plumbed into cooler for a turbo. You’re right I better move that air intake. Thank you for that

[@robindumpleton3742]

Who would ignore the instructions for fitting

[@The_RC_Guru]

The intake is for the combustion chamber. Not what comes into the room. So, no it wouldn’t matter being that close to the exhaust unless it pulled in too little oxygen for combustion which is highly unlikely.

[@LauraElliston-o6j]

Very nice addition to your guest cabin!

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Thank you

[@alysiachristensen5475]

That looks like a great little heater for your guest cabin! That’s a great little powerful heater!!! God bless you and your family there in Alaska!!! Stay safe!!! 💙

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Thank you Thank you for watching

[@normdickson2438]

The exhaust will build up condensation pointed completely downwards so it’ll leak out and the pipe won’t rot on you

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

@@normdickson2438 I have changed that now. Thank you.

[@Master-Blaster-4x4]

there is a priming function if you hold + & - button down at same time it will prime the machine, i saw it on another video, mine is coming next week

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Thank you , I did figure that out finally. Thank you for watching

[@thedillestpickle]

I think the thing with these is you have to be ready to take it apart and find out what is going on because they have multiple failure modes and are often already broken in the box. Mine has a slow leak of diesel fuel coming from somewhere. I took it apart and I can see that the fuel lines are a decently high quality silicone material but the barb fitting that goes into the fuel tank was grabbed on with a vice-grip and they left a deep dent in the barb. Waiting now to see if that is the source of the leak.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

@@thedillestpickle you are correct. We actually have four of them that we use some. Had to replace a control board on one and fix a fuel leak on another. That’s it so far. I do keep some spare parts like a control board, fuel line kit, glow plug and a fuel pump. For the money you can’t beat them for a backup heat source like the one you see here. The other three one in our generator sheds for heat when needed.

[@judyshoemaker9681]

That's pretty nice, is it truly that loud or did the camera make it sound louder? That would be nice for my bathhouse.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

It’s actually pretty quiet once I put the muffler on it. When its turned done some that helps too. A bath house would be a perfect place for one.

[@duanechadwick331]

I hadn’t seen that model pretty nice self contained unit. I’ve seen the ones that have a separate tank usually 5 gallons. I liked the temp readings. Thanks for the video.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Thank you. The all in one is handy if you’re gonna move it around

[@jiminalaska]

Next time you fire it up check the exhaust temp, just wondering. I use one to preheat my skidsteer. Only way it will start.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

With it turned down low the exhaust is is 135. It set on number 2

[@MyAlaska12]

I've gotten one to heat my shed that I have water lines in. and I'm planning on getting one for my remote cabin.

[@ouralaskahomestead]

I’ve got one of those Vevor sent me a couple months ago. Haven’t even opened it yet. Gotta figure out where to put it, 🤔 outhouse maybe. Remote start sure will be convenient. They definitely look handy and easy to install. You included lots of useful info. Great video!

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

They work well. I bought a 12 volt power supply because I was thinking about the outhouse too

[@ouralaskahomestead]

@@MitchellsInAlaska I’m thinking that remote start can get it nice and toasty in there so my bum doesn’t freeze 😂

[@AlaskaMyHeart]

That’s a powerful heater! Great video! Give Molly a squeeze from us! Take care Tony! Stay warm! ❤

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Thank you for watching

[@maxstrata9967]

These are good little units Ideally you’d want it under the cabin so it reaches optimum operating temperature and not be exposed to -20 temp. Otherwise the fuel won’t burn as efficiently. Also, draw recirculating air from inside (as you said). Draw only the fuel mixture oxygen from outside (never draw it from inside as it will deplete your indoor oxygen levels). This all in one unit is convenient but has limitations. The one I like comes with a separate fuel tank. Not the all in one unit like this one. This way you can put the heater under your cabin and the fuel tank outside the cabin for easy refueling.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Yes sir I would definitely prefer the one like you are talking about if I was going to leave it in one place. The all in one is sure nice for heating a tractor or car if you need to warm it up to make it start. Thank you for watching

[@briandbeaudin9166]

If the fuel is outside and it gets very cold, your fuel may gel; then you'll have no heat!

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

I run heating oil in mine since I’m in Alaska.

[@mmanut]

Those heaters are a must have. Use them for your primary heater to back up. They're cheap and they just work. 👍 Vinny 🇺🇸

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

They are hard to beat for a cheap heat source

[@marianfrances4959]

Molly is so cute!!! Hope the diesel heater takes good care of you and your guests. 👍🇨🇦😎 BTW, KZbinr Joe of Northern Seclusion (Minnisota) advises keeping an eye on the wind direction so the exhaust fumes don't get blown indoors.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

That’s a good idea. Thank you for that and thank you for watching

[@debbiemiller7342]

Great little heater. Thanks Tony

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Thank you for watching

[@CoryRausch]

Hey Tony, Curious if the exhaust can be extended? I plan on running mine in a 20ft storage container and exhausting it outside through a hole but will need the exhaust pipe to be about 3ft longer.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

@@CoryRausch it would be fine to extend it that much

[@robindumpleton3742]

No problem you can extend the exhaust with metal pipes or buy the alloy flexi. like any exhaust joints must be sealed well

[@shaepowers1840]

Hello, I’m commenting because I’m curious if you still like your Vevor heater?

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

@@shaepowers1840 yes I do. It’s not a daily use item by any means. It’s just a backup source. However I did run it for 8 days straight once. That was 24 hours a day in -20 degree temps.

[@northerngirlhobbies]

Hey Mitchell’s interested in knowing what could be going on with our snow machine not firing. It was fine the first day out, and now failure. Spark plugs, piston? We aren’t mechanical but learning. Have already been stranded with this thing last winter. Thank you in advance.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

It’s hard to say really. There is many things that could cause that, it could a bad switch, bad wire someplace, possibly the coil. It would really take some testing of those items to start. I’m sorry I can’t be more help

[@northerngirlhobbies]

@@MitchellsInAlaskaeven to change the spark plug the whole machine needs to be ripped apart. Uggg. Definitely not a trustworthy machine. We’ve been having to hike into some lakes. Extreme cold here today. -30 Celsius. Will have to get the machine fixed at some point. Thank you M’s.

[@metamud8686]

amazon link -> "currently unavailable" so they didn't even show the price tag. 7:30 Also, what's that banging noise and do you have to listen to that all night when it's on, or is that only during the first startup minutes? Oh it's the fuel pump. Well that thing is obnoxious to hear!

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

The clicking you hear is the fuel pump. It does that all the time.

[@whipsadventures4978]

I love my diesel heater! Also we are neighbors in at mile 92.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Thank you for watching. I subscribed to your channel

[@jackylougresl3410]

Is the lcd screen removable? Would like to do the same but i would like the LCD screen put inside the room

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Yes it is. It has a plug on the wires.

[@robindumpleton3742]

Can get model with separate controller

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

You can buy a wire extension from amazon or eBay and remove the controller and put it wherever you want. You can also buy the heater kit without the enclosure and mount it anywhere you want

[@scotduckrow8524]

If you run a hose to pull intake air from inside it works better and eliminates pulling air mixed with exhaust.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

You are right that does make them work even better

[@jeremyjames249]

Does it need a power source to start it and to run it all night? I have an off grid cabin with no electric

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

It needs a 12 volt power supply. A 12 volt battery would run it for days

[@jeremyjames249]

@ ok cool thanks! Seems better than burning up a 20lbs propane tank every 3 days

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Running on low it will go 24 hours on a gallon heating this 10x12 cabin in -20 temps

[@jeremyjames249]

@ ok I have a 10x20 cabin in Michigan for deer season. I’ll definitely have to order this heater and get a deep cycle battery soon

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

@ they do put some really hot air

[@georgeplisko2439]

The condisation comes within the combustion process not the external you can see it in your video thank you anyway for the clip

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

@@georgeplisko2439 I have since bent the exhaust down. I never thought about that

[@markparr7224]

The exhaust must go downhill, otherwise moisture will build up. and they put out a lot of water. Also, like others have pointed out, it needs to be away from the inside air intake.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

I have since corrected those things after the video. I learn things from viewers all the time. Thank you for the info and for watching

[@evangelosstefadouros1351]

I would put the intake on the opposite side of unit not to pull in exhaust from it 😉

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

It has been changed since the video released due to recommendations. Thank you

[@evangelosstefadouros1351]

@ living in the city could be a great backup heating source incase power goes off 😌

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

That’s very true

[@eugenetate5684]

I've heard a lot about these little hearts.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

They actually work really well

[@georgeplisko2439]

You didn't cover any of the controls the exhaust should be pointed down I just put my intake outside I think it runs better and less exhaust smell

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

@@georgeplisko2439 the porch roof actually covers is so it don’t get any rain or snow on it

[@OleTeddy]

Great idea 👍

[@DonPedro4711]

Fresh air intake and exhaust should be separated!

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

I did do that. Dumb of me for not catching that when I put it together. Thank you for that and for watching

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

I have never heard of one so i guess that makes me a nobody instead of a everybody.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

Lol they are really popular here. Less than $150 on Amazon

[@kijijiuser4173]

Dont put the unit outside, this will give you less efficiency. Because it has to work more by heating up the element. Id would rather make and exhaust port for your place.

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

@@kijijiuser4173 it’s only used as an emergency backup. The cabin actually has a propane heater.

[@DaleFord-d3v]

$88 at Lowe's

[@MitchellsInAlaska]

I just made a Short video on my diesel heater. Check it out Mitchell.
