- Testing a relatively cheap Chinese diesel night heater from Ebay
I unbox and then demonstrate the heater
DISCLAIMER
This video is for entertainment purposes only. It is not a guide on how to set up this heater. I am in no way affiliated with the manufacturer or the seller of this item. Always follow your manufacturers instructions on how to set this up correctly, I am not responsible for your mistakes. I may even show in the video something which is assembled incorrectly.
What I will say though as I have seen other videos on CZcams demonstrating this product with the exhaust on the inside of a building...PUT THE EXHAUST OUTSIDE!! Pumping exhaust gasses into an enclosed space without ventilation could be fatal.
I would also strongly advice having a carbon monoxide detector even though it technically shouldn't have any fumes from the fresh air outlet.
Thank you and enjoy - Zábava
You can change from Hz to thermostat mode by going to the Hz setting and pressing the settings and up buttons at the same time. Then you can set desired temperature. The heater will lower fan rpm and use less fuel when that temperature is reached.
I love your video. Excellent information on a topic I am researching, AND you do not exhibit that sickness which results in so much footage of scary, facial closeups. Keep up the good work.
Great video thank you very much for the time you took to set it all up to show us it working.
I’m a truck driver in America and the unit in my truck is great.
I have one of these heaters I put in my van and it is spot on and well worth the money, and it gets bloody hot
Looking to get one for my own van, how's yours held up?
james howson any updates?
I got one for my 6x10 trailer 1.5 years ago. Works like a champ 👍. Issues I've had. I once tow my trailer while it's snowing and snow got into the air intake. So I had to open it up and clean the combustion chamber. I insolated my trailer so if I use it when outside is above 5C, the lowest heat out put will keep raising the temperature so I have to manually shut it off every 4-5 hrs. On the bright side, it has no issue keep inside temp 23C while outside is -30C. Very happy with the purchase. I got it for $250 Canadian. I don't mind buy 5 of this that will out last one webasto. I see years of good service with my current one.
Can you just leave inside the air intake an only install the fumes exhaust tubing on the wall blowing outside?
@@Teporame you may, but everyone I know left the intake outside. I think you can get diesel smell if left inside
Great video, would be handy in a van/camper conversion. Similar to the night heater in my truck( that ones noisy as hell too) lol👍
Mounted one in my single car garage, it keeps it around 55°F even when outside temps hit single digits and only costs $40 in fuel for the entire winter
Must be insulated good. No air leaks
Good video, well made and clearly explained.
We have one in our showman wagon and it heats it great. The floor consists of old floor boards between the liv8ng space and outside. We have it on half wack all night and it's really warm. The noise dosent bother which is great. It dosent use much fuel or electric as well
I'm looking to get one..
I have the brand name (espar/eberspacher) version of this in the cab of my truck, very finicky in a truck with all the bumping around! saves the company a lot of money on idling though. you can heat up canned goods with it in a pinch the outlet is HOT.
Very informative video, but I must say you have the voice of a BBC narrator. 👍🏽👍🏽
Wow no need to insult the man. He has a grand voice.
I agree, not good to compare somebody instructing a very good product, to the patronising tunnel visioned bbc
Finally a tutorial that shows inlet from outlet ...thankyou
Thanks för the showing, you convised me to by to mye motorhome one!! 👍
Thanks for the overview!
Very pleasant to watch and listen to !
I like your video, it helped me make a decision! I'm gonna buy it for my van, hope it won't be too loud
Come back and let us know what you think of it!
I was gonna get one but too noisy possibly can’t run them at night??? I’ll just get a better duvet!!!
@@__WJK__ I love it ;)
@@madbadger85 I think it's fine! It depends on how light your sleep is but imo it's just the pump that's noisy. You can mount that underneath the car if you get a weatherproof cover.
@@tinieplanet9762 - I ended up getting one too and luv it as well . I'd say the fan on the unit isn't any louder than other heaters with fans. As for the fuel pump, it makes some noise but (I agree) that's easily solved by installing it outside the vehicle and away from the sleeping area and/or buying the aftermarket soundproof plastic cover that fits these pump. Extra light sleepers could probably add some sound roofing material if need be and then they'd likely not hear it running at all.
very interesting idea. I'm a tuck mechanic and these heaters are great when used with care, shouldn't be a problem for you but intake restrictions and lack of use kills them.
Just so you know ,when it’s in the hertz mode (p1-5) if you press the settings and up button at the same time it goes to temp mode so you can dial in the temp you want.
Great video!!
Video quality is banging
These style of heaters have been used in Semi Trucks for a quite a while but they are not cheap. This one is from China and is cheap but, seems to work exactly like the Webasco heater's I have used in the past.
The way my trucking days went I ended up with a broken one and had to idle the truck
Daggerwin becoming the English version of Project Farm?
Not complaining, keep it up great vid
Just finished watching him!!!!
yes
Now to run the heater on bacon fat 🥓
@@MickTattersall anyone eating that much bacon wont need heat...they will be dead soon.
Never knew you did this 😊 lovely mate
Got one in my landrover awesome thing for the price had it 3 years can't complain
When the knockoff is more popular than the original
I was looking just the other day at getting one of these for my hilux :)
Hi Dagger
Please make a video where you show the effectivnes of it
Thanks for the video! I am thinking of getting one for my roof top tent!!
With the standard issue hard-sided nylon hose (prolly less than 2/16" inner diameter) the fuel pump injects or pulses fuel. With soft-sided larger volume fuel hose prolly 3/16"), the pump dribbles fuel out of the end. Likely to throw errors sooner or later. See John McKay videos for thorough testing and info. I recall Video #11 is about fuel delivery.
Do you want it to pulse or do you want the fuel to dribble?
I know this isnt what the video was about but where did you get your tractor from thx. Great video by the way love them
Good recommendation.. People buy a Carbon Monoxide Alarm to save you from exhaust fume poisoning
Iv strangely stumbled across this video and have the exact same heater that I just so happen to have left on for 12 hours + last night by accident , van was not up in flames , was nice and cosy for the trip to work . For the price can’t complain and would recommend if your not really keen to spend on a reputable manufacturer. Fuel level had not dropped enough for me to notice over the 12hr
I came here so I could work out what sort of volume these things kick out. I want to strap one to the side of my house to heat up my large kitchen but I don't want to annoy my neighbors. Could you help? It sounds pretty loud in the video but it's hard to tell
Hi Gary i just bought a campervan with one in it BUT i dont have a manual and its blowing Cold Can you advise Plzzzz 🙏🏽✌🏽
Hi.
Thank you for the video. I am only now learning about these heaters.
Not sure if to go for this model or the enclosed once.!!
Also how are they for parts availability?
Tks
Fuel filter prob not defective, its need to be vertical to stop the air bubbles, your pump when installed need to be at an angle of 20-30 degrees, for folk that don't know once up to temperature these run almost silently. Good demo though mate, sorry if you already knew this 🤗
glad you said they run quiet once fully going, i would never sleep with that noise in my van, thanks
How much fuel does it use in 1 hour?
great video... thanks for the inspiration. Any idea how many watts it uses and what the fuel consumption is?
The kit is very comprehensive but the Chinglish manual needs some competent editing - in particular it did not indicate which was the exhaust and which the combustion air inlet. As they are both the same diameter that could be a problem.
I've seen that heater, or a variant of it, on multiple YT channels. It's worth the bucks it seems!
I've installed one this week, it's very good quality and provides tremendous heat.

How's the noise outside when turned on? Is it loud enough to disturb a quiet neighborhood?
Hi Dagger, So now that you have had the heater for two years now what are your thoughts, I'm thinking of getting one for the shed. It would only be on 2 to 3 hours at a time.
Hi there.
Do you know how much power this uses? How much watts or amps?
Thanks for the video.
Mark
Nice video m8
How weather resistant are they? I want to get one for my garage but don't want the unit inside. I want to put a T on the output and drill 2 holes one on either side of the garage and leave the whole unit outside. If I just made a overhang to keep direct rain off it would that be sufficient or would I need to build something to completely enclose it?
If you could wind the exhaust through a 55-gallon drum of water or old motor oil or whatever it'd be a great thermal mass for the evening. Get the shop good and warm and by then the drum of whatever would be warm enough to carry through the night. I recently bought a couple but still haven't fired one up yet :-/
I was thinking the same thing.. but I was kinda thinking along the lines of taking it a step further and running coiled tube carrying the exhaust through a barrel then outside. Then run a line off the barrel with a low volume pump in line to a car radiator with a fan behind it then back to the top of the barrel. Bottom line is you wanna maximize the efficiency of the fuel being burned. You could offset the electricity cost with a small solar set up. Part of the fun of this is Frankensteining a system together to see what you get lol
Is that going to be the hot water for your bath? 😉
Good idea for using the engine exhaust heat
@@Brian_P i would be worried about restricting the exhaust on one of these and just creating too much resistance and having it leak back through somehow
@@dylandrouin3085 yeah good point. Maybe a guy could overcome that with some sort of low power fan setup? Really that's part of the fun, seeing what work and what doesn't.
Hi daggerwin my dad has one in his van and he loves it
where did he put it?
@@Francois_Dupont In his van
Where in his van? Front, back....
Great Video Daggerwin! Keep it up.
The price of Eberspacher or Webasto is extortionate, even the price of a service is 3 times the price of these heaters. Even if I get a year or two working its a huge saving. Mines working really well after 9 months so I cannot be negative at all
That's what they use for the heaters In lorry's. In the UK. Usually about £200 for the part from the main dealership.
Dealership charge £1000 plus in the uk for ebespacher or webasto heaters fitted to Volvo Scania Iveco Man etc.
Thanks for posting. Looks like the beating sound that is heard is from the fuel pump? It looks like it starts at 5:30. Then around for awhile. Really hard to tell how noisy this would be. You set it on a metal cart that would be inherently noisy. Would have been more accurate to have on a wooden work bench or something similar. I'm betting isolating the fuel pump too would have helped.
Also this a 2kw heater? I'm really new to these heater and will be doing my homework. I'm angling towards a cheap Chinese heater that is small. Something that would just take the chill out of the air in a mini van or a tent.
First keep up the good work that you’re mine
Great idea to use it in the workshop,how are you powering it ? (Electrically)
ive worked on those type of heaters before, on semi's that have an apu. they have those under the bunk. if they ever break you can get a rebuild kit and SUPER easy to repair. I don't remember any part numbers or anything, sorry
Which one can you get the cheap rebuild kits for? The Cheap Chinese ones, or name brand ones.
@@xsterawesome I would say they are one of the same here at the states. Carrier and thermo-king apu uses these types for heating a semi when the truck is parked with a driver indside.
YAY another video lol
I have the Eberspächer D2 in my Eurovan. It runs much quieter.
Do you have a link to where you purchased? There are so many out there just wondering which one you got.
Even though i took the cover off and spun the fan by hand, once fitted the heater made a ticking noise. The fan was catching on the wires coming from the board. You just want check before fitting these wires are routed away from the fan. 2:30 in the video.
Other than that brilliant heater.
It's sounds pretty loud outside. Anyway you could lessen or muffle out the sound where it doesn't wake up an entire neighborhood?
Do another model farm video please
Hi. Thanks for sharing. Do you know if this type of chinese diesel heater is thermostatically controlled? It seems to measure ambient temp, but is it actually used for anything? Can you choose temperature and let the controller control the fan and fuel pump? Thanks
On 'Temp' mode - you set the desired temperature, noting that the thermostat is in the LCD control unit itself - so you'd want it located somewhere where the temperature is a meaningful reflection of room/space temp. In this mode, the heater will only ever go from Max power to Min power, in response to read temperature - nothing in between.
On 'Hertz' mode - this is basically 'full manual' control, & you're setting the heat output yourself - & the thermostat is ignored by the unit. I personally find the Hertz method better, especially as you can fine-tune it to the situation - as opposed to the all-or-nothing approach used by the heater when on Temperature mode.
download a espar d4 installation manual and you get ur installation instructions. someone already mentioned this the fuel pump has very particular installation requirements.
Thanks for the suggestion, Michael. I just downloaded two of their manuals.
Cool
You should run this of red diesel
WHO needs Farming Simulator 19 when you have your own little English farm with tractor and tractor tools with your own farming equipment. Great Job keep up the Daggerwin Farming 19 videos there Awesome !!!!
Brilliant video thank u 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just ordered one
Does the unit by chance feature a timer that can be set to start & stop at a specific time of day and/or set to start and stop at a specific time of day on a specific day of the week?
Also... anyone happen to know if the main heat unit needs to be mounted in one specific direction or one specific orientation or is it possible to mount the main heating unit in different positions... such as on its side, vertical or maybe upside down with the two mid-center pipes pointing up towards the sky(?)
Link / Seller that you used? There are a number of variants out there. Also after 7 months, would you still recommend?
When will machinery restoring come out?
Hi, do you have a link to seller on ebay? Thanks
Hi there
Would a gray pvc washing machine draining pipe be ok to use as the air inlet on a 5kw diesel heater?
just installed one from amazon sept grey nothing but smoke and error codes 6 3 and 10 haven't unbolted it yet to see whats internal wrong should have benched tested it first good job.
most the road freight trucks have these as bunk heaters just with more safety circuits built into the sleep compartment.
they are also common repairs yearly , looks like there getting better at it.
ordered 5 now they all run good, the problem with one of them one the fire inside the plug was pulling out wish it had better connectors.
How did you manage to run it on waste or veg oil?
Mine won’t take mixtures above 50%.
The glow pug staying on longer might help.
But so far I’m getting a flameout, probably because the temperature isn’t high enough to ignite the fuel.
Maybe try starting it just on gasoline then switch to oils when its hot
Hey Daggerwin, love your FS videos, was surprised to find this gem as i'm researching a diesel heater. Two years later now and i'd love an update. Is it worth fussing with? Had any failures or concerns? Thanks and keep the great content coming.
Yes there worth it had a pump failure cost me 15 pounds and it's sorted had about 3 years
I was watching this video and thought by my self " that voice seemed like someone I've heard before" then goes to the channel name and.... AHAAAA😂
I waslooking at buying a 8kw heater like this. The add on Amazon says its a 8kw unit being sold, but a close up look at the unitin the photo shows the sticker on the unit says 5000w or 5kw. are they rated from 5-8kw ??????
hi i just got one of the 5kw heaters do i need to use the thin fuel line or can i use better rubber stuff ...cheers fish thanks for the vids ....
5/32 plastic fuel pipe
A late post, but have you swapped the fuel line to the correct 2mm size yet
How much wattage does this use? Can you leave it on all night or are you gonna drain leisure batteries?
9amps on startup for the glowplug for about 3to4 minutes then about 500ma to an amp for just the fan. once its started its low power
Could you use a 12v adaptor on a normal circuit rather than working off a battery and trickle charger?
Yes, just make sure the amperage is correct.
What about the John Deere 185
Nice heater Daggerwin. Can we see the tree field or the compact tractors working
Hi i have had one for two years in my motorhome and still going strong .
Hello Daggerwin. it is possible to get the link to the heater. must have something like this in the boat
Fitted tons of these, don't use the filter at all. Just causes issues.
Thanks for the overview!
Сan you leave me a link to the seller?
pefect
This seems very noisey .. would you say you could sleep ok with this one in a transit size van .. does it need to be boxed in to reduce the noise
Can those heaters be mounted vertically?
How has it gone 1 year on is it still working
Does this model allow you to set the timer so that it automates on and off ?
Yes, it does.
This looks nice, but I would put a CO sensor...Just in case ;-)
Thats crazy loud
Need a link to the heater. How many btu's? How long does it run on a tank? How many amps does the battery need to be?
Nevermind, I found it in another video.
@@1d1hamby link pls
Did it warm your workshop ?
Do they run off 28sec heating oil, which is what we get here in the UK ?
Are you sure that air wasn’t going in the fuel line because you had the pump laying horizontally and not because the fuel filter was bad? What was wrong with the filter anyway? If it had a hole in it it just wouldn’t filter properly. Was it dirty from new?
If it goes above the set temp does it turn off?
What are the chances! I literally looked at one of these 2days ago for my truck but seemed too cheap to be any good. Please post a short video (or even just in form of text or reply to comment) on your thoughts after a few weeks of use. Cheers
Niccccceeee
It works what more could we want ? Kerosene is best
Hi how is the heater been performing in your garage and wha sort of temperature are you getting as im thinkig of same set up
