Just bought the vevor myself for my garage/shop so I can continue my tinkering through the winter. Really appreciate your video especially the power supply tip. I bought 2 of these heaters for obvious reasons plus I’m not insulated either. I wished they had sexier voice on these. Thanks 😊
Howdy, looks like a winner. Im still riding😎 Gas & ebike. 69 years old. Good to see your doing well. 😊
thanx for watchin and keep on keepin' on!
@@HughesMotorized You just solved my home heating issues. I just bought a heater. Should heat my trailer up well. (Fema) special. Only good thing to come from Katrina. I have over 1000 miles on my 79cc 4 stroke. Not a problem at all so far. Thanks for the information. 👍😎
Pal chucked me one of these heaters a few weeks ago - I kinda ignored it. Today, it was Baltic here, so I decided to bother my hoop installing it so it heats the gaff. This was inspired by the missus whinging a lot about the cold. Pretty much.
Not wanting to put any effort in, I held it back to just drilling a 100mm hole through the kitchen wall, banging the heater into place, covering it with an old glorified tupperware box I had & wiring it into a spare outside light circuit via a laptop power supply. . Despite the crude methods, it sparked right up - amazing really as I filled it using processed waste oil from the workshop - roughly 30c a liter - roughly being the operative word.
Skip ahead 1 hour & I am a Hero with Herself - the kitchen is like the Bahamas, she's going round without the winter tights on & the dogs are all semi-comatose due to the heat.
I'm now a big fan of these because our kitchen is massive & unless you set the units themselves on fire, it's never warm despite having 2 radiators running off the "proper" heating system - till today. Today - thanks to this "cheapo" heater, it's toasty - -3c outside, which is a proper test. 5 Stars - go buy one.
12 degrees, looking at my new heater I am going to put in garage. Ordered a longer exhaust hose and a thru hull gadget to put exhaust in my garage wall.
I really like this a very good video very informative Thank you very much
Glad it was helpful!
Mine takes about 2 mine to prime pump any fixes?
I have been using these Chinese diesel heaters for 3+ years. There were 2 major improvements that I made worth passing on to viewers.
First, I added a small engine plastic fuel filter between the tank and pump suction. After a season of heating, my fuel pump stopped right after refueling. The dirt that accumulates at the bottom of the tank gets stirred up while adding fuel and it only takes a tiny bit to seize up the pump. The heater ran for 2 seasons flawlessly after putting in the filter. I run red off road non taxed diesel fuel.
Secondly, I added a 12 volt LED light to the outside of the fuel tank near the pump and attached it with aluminum foil tape to keep the light inside. I can see the fuel level from 40 feet down my hallway and it's clearly visible on my cell phone using the video ''Pet Camera'' for a quick look.
The other helpful thing is that I refuel with 2 small 5 liter plastic jugs that have push button spouts. In 2 seasons of operation, I have not spilled a single drop of fuel. The unit gets topped off in the morning and in the evening. The heater runs 24/7 on position 2 at night and up to 4,5, or 6 for a while in the morning from November through mid February. Fuel burn is 1/2 a tank in 12 hours on position 2. There is usually someone home but if we all leave, I burn the unit at heat setting 6 for 10 minutes then shut it down.
I built a lithium battery box in 2017 and it powers my diesel heater. The battery box suffered some severe abuse in its time but never dies. There is a lithium battery charger on it that is constantly plugged in to the grid. When the power fails, the heater will still run for 12-14 hours and can do its proper cool down sequence without the grid. I always buy 2 of everything and have a new diesel heater in a box. I really like these things!
Perfect, thank you Sir!
You're welcome!
The pump noise is amplified by the sheet metal case of the unit. Some units are much worse than others and this one is about the loudest. Many youtube vids can be watched on how to make pump quieter and are helpful if you want to reduce pump noise. I just put one in garage and it works great. I built a small wood box for the pump to reduce the noise.
I brought 2 of these for my uninsulated garage after all the local gas stations in my area got rid of kerosene and now I had to buy $10 a gallon kerosene from Home Depot. I don't need toasty warm I just needed it warm enough so I could workout in my garage gym, this uses way less fuel than my kerosene heater and diesel service stations are abundant
Can you let it running all day at a specific temperature?
I’m thinking about set it in my garage / shed all day but I don’t want to be too hot in there…
Yes. You can set the temperature
Could I just use a battery booster for my truck to start it? Or do I need to go buy a battery for it separately?
It needs a constant 12 volts. Check out how I set mine up for 110v here: czcams.com/video/v1O5t2C70Xg/video.html
Is the banging fuel pump a constant? Or does it stop after a while?
It gets quiter after unit warms up
U need to have the intake INSIDE the shop not sucking cold outside air
I changed that and noted at 4:03
How large is your shop? The ads say it will heat 2100 sq ft, I’d like to warm up just under 1000 sq ft when working on cars during the winter.
210 square feet is more accurate. My shop is 12' x 16' (192 sq ft). You'd need 5 of these for an area that big. This is only $140ish dollars. You'd want a furnace for an area that large that would cost $1000 to $2000
I have the same with same not understandable controller, do i need to prime the pump or just turn on the heather and wait ?
Turn it on and wait
@@HughesMotorized it worked when i had stable electic power supply to it. Thanks.
Hello brother
I have a “80cc” motorized bicycle, done 250 miles on it, but now i can only ride the bike for about 4 miles then it shuts off. I dont know why. Then after 30 minutes i can start it again. Its not the spark plug. Do you know what the problem is? Thanks in advance
Gas cap might not be venting. Creating lock in gas tank. Or bad coil, where the heat is triggering malfunction???
Another thing I wanna build is a combination of portable generator/heater...Simply put a generator in an insulatated box with a couple air ducts and fans. Route the exhaust pipe gasses outside. The insulatated box will quiet the generator engine noise plus is used to direct hot engine & exhaust pipe/muffler, heat into your building. That way , for the same amount of propane or gasoline you're burning. You're getting heat plus electricity. Instead of just heat only like you would from a propane heater.....A generator setup to run on propane would be best. But gasoline could be used if all the exhaust fumes are vented outside.
When people tell me it won't work because blah blah blah. I explain it's been done years ago in air cooled VW beetle cars for it's heater... It's the exact same principle. VW captures the heat from the engine/hot exhaust pipe, with heat exchanger and blows the warm air into the interior.
If you had a gas/propane generator that was liquid cooled. You could do the same by adding radiator & fan. Same as a car engine. A car engine provides electricity & heat from the engine.
The same can be applied to a 3000w generator to help heat a garage.
People think it sounds odd, despite being the exact same principle used to get heat & electricity from a car engine.
Obviously the car engines main purpose is to move the car but heat & electricity can also be made.
A portable generators main purpose is to provide electricity. But it can be easily made to provide heat..A 6hp gas engine actually makes a lot of heat. The same amount of heat as a small propane heater.
Yup. This think dumps a lot of heat out w/ the exhaust. I was thinking of passing it thru a radiator/box inside to get the waste heat into the space
@@HughesMotorized Yeah....Like a free large heater core or oil cooler....The same concept as using a longer stove pipe to radiate more heat into the room.....Instead of a short pipe, letting more heat escape.
Mine works great
Does it make that tapping sound the whole time it's running?
Yes. However it gets quieter after a few minutes
Yes I interested in one of these myself, thanks for the review, but we have a very Commy type minister for transport who is a green party leader here in Ireland 🇮🇪, and they just build cycle lanes everywhere instead of public toilets for the elderly taxpayers, so he want cyclelanes everywhere instead, he doesn't want diesel heaters, we should just wear extra jumpers and cycle and have extra showers each day and wash our swetty clothes in washing machiens with only one cold inlet pipe and heat the water up with electricity, unlike the older hot and cold hose pipe inlets like the older type models, so this is modern apliances for you.
Thanks for watching. I bet its beautiful there. I wish we had sidewalks over here. We have very dangerous roads where there are a lot of people living and no sidewalks. There are crosses everywhere where pedestrians have been killed by motorists. At least the politicians get rich
My friends in Galway are DIS-GOOSTED with the Oirish government. Cheers from the PRK...

All sales of new petrol powered lawn and garden equipment will be banned throughout our State starting on the 1st day of January 2024. Sales of natural gas appliances will be banned in my area in 2026. We are SUPPOSED to convert all stoves, ovens, water heaters, and central furnaces from natural gas to all electric in the near future. There is talk about banning new petrol powered home generators despite the grid failing 6 times this year with outages from 1 hour to 8 hours.
@@kimmer6 RIP Shane MacGowan. At least he doesn't have to see that go on!
Is that model the 5kw or 8w ?
5KW
Just bought two. The rectangle one and the square one. $100 ea- CHEAP!
Is it always that noisy ?
yes it makes a little more noise than an electric heater
That constant clicking would have to go and it not being able to plug into a outlet seems odd
It's a universal type heater. You can get a 110v power supply for $20. For vehicles, camping, RVs and the like. Even an electric heater makes noise. But YA this is louder. I had it on high setting. It gets quieter on lower settings
I don't think hanging the intake filter next to the exhaust is a good idea.
CORRECT. I'll assume you didn't notice the text on the screen saying put INTAKE INSIDE.
Have you tried kerosene?
Have not tried kerosene. Haven't looked for a reasonable place to buy it though. Home Depot sells it for $12 a gallon. I'm sure it's available for cheaper somewhere else.
How to prime?😢
It primes itself
$120. If it could run off filtered waste vegetable oil I'd buy one.
Then I'd go snag 5 gallon jugs of free waste veggie oil.
Others have tried but they get clogged up and fail. Diesel only
Mix 30% kerosene with it and it will run just fine
They seem so simple it would be dumb not to buy one.
If you are doing the cottage core thing.
Interesting I was just talking about needing a garage heater 🫡
It's better than an electric strip heater for sure. Does require some planning to keep diesel on hand. I'm sure electric is cheaper to operate though
