Great. One of the only videos that made real world working sense and gave a time frame on how long this project would take. I opted to fit my heater on the chassis with a stainless steel bracket but your show and tell of the fuel tank removal really helped. Keep the videos coming.
Great video, really helped me know what to expect when fitting mine. All done and firing up nicely 👍🏼 most fiddly bit for me was putting my fuel cap door back on 😆

This is the part of fitting a diesel heater I am not confident about especially as mine has the adblu and it’s filler neck in the same spot as the fuel filler neck.
Yeh it was the bit i was worried about, if your going to do it just make sure you give yourself plenty of time as you dont want to be part way through and then have a issue that you can't resolve but you still need to use your van for work or whatever. Good luck
Ive only used it for a wild camp once since fitting ( covid) but it was belting heat out, so yeah they are decent, i only fit mine their as that was the only available space i had left. Good luck with the installation 👍
THE NORTHERNERS great video I was looking to pay someone to do job but after seeing video will be all over it. I went camping in November and was so cold, could you hear the pump and was it noisy? I hear under the double passenger seat can be too close to the fuel tank.
@@Mango34pro You can here the pump clicking but after a few beers its not a problem 👌 Yeh passenger seat may be close to fuel tank, i fitted a swivel passenger so that wasn't a option for me anyways.
Great video bud. I wanted to see this exact part of the installation, I'm glad I did too, that pump makes a right horrible noise! Its definitely getting fed from the tank, I'm not having that inside my van! 🤣 And I have to have a guess, you sound like you're from Wigan, maybe Bolton?
Spot on Pal, im from Bolton👍glad the video helped. I was more concerned about having a tank full of diesel inside my van and finding one day that its leaked and soaked into everything lol but yeh that pump makes a reet clicking sound aswell.
@@itsthenortherners yea, I watched that video too 👍🏻 fit and forget once it's in the tank. Ha, nice one pal. I lived in Wigan for 10 years and my lads still there, but I'm often up Rivi for a walk or ride on th'old bicycle 😉
Good idea👍but at the time i had nowhere to store the fuel or to syphon it out or to get it back in so i had to put the tank back and run it for another week.
For a honda civic would you recommend the 2KW or 5KW heater? O I'm in Canada, so it gets cold, -15 celcius, want to do some winter camping. The heater will also be outside, so it will be drying in cold air. Want the car to be stealth, so as quiet as possible. Concerned the 2 KW is too loud. Then 5 KW is quiet, but concerned it will run too hot.
Hi, thanks for the question. We have the 5 kw and its never been to hot or to loud. But as for outside use i have no idea and especially at -15. Their is another CZcams channel i like to watch called Talonsei, he does a lot of overlanding and he uses an external diesel heater so if you have a look at his videos he does some test on them using them in freezing conditions at high altitudes so that might help you decide.👍
Great video mate, when you put everything back together and reconnect fuel lines to sender, did the system need bleeding or anything or does the van just start as normal? Cheers
Great vid, about to start my fit so has definitely helped me plan 👍 Notice you have changes the green plastic fuel hose for braided hose? What diameter did you use?
Thanks for watching, i cant remember exactly but i think it was 6-8 mm, i only used it as i was given it so i can't i probably just checked it fitted the connectors and cracked on with it.
Hi Barry, yeh it was purely for added protection and the fact that it was available to me for free so its up to you weather you want to 8se it, if i didnt have it for free i would probably just used the pipe that it came with. 👍
Hi Matthew, yeh its still working fine. We dont use the van as a full time camper so the heater isnt on all the time plus with the lockdowns we haven't managed to get many overnight stays in it.

Southerner here with a T5 in Devon, Bolton wanderers fan! Your vid has helped me out greatly
Glad we could help out, C,mon the mighty Whites!
Really helpful. I have just been changing the heater from an onboard fuel tank to the main van fuel tank so your video was perfect, thanks.
Glad it helped you out👍
Très bonne vidéo . Très bons explications
Southerner here!! Top video mate!
Thanks, hope it helped you out.

Did you put your undertray back on and if so did you need to cut it to allow for the intake and exhaust?
Great video, going to get one for these ordered, just have to move leisure battery that’s under drivers seat 🙈

@@Human_Named_Paul yeh rivis beltin for a walk out when kids are driving me mad lol
When you had the fuel tank down you should have syphon the fuel out to make it lighter. Then put it back in when it was reinstalled.
Good idea👍but at the time i had nowhere to store the fuel or to syphon it out or to get it back in so i had to put the tank back and run it for another week.

Thanks for watching, i didnt bleed anything and it never caused me any issues, i just put it all back together and fired it up no problems.
Great video. Thanks. Did it really only take 10 minutes to put the tank back in?
Yeh, it was easier than i was thinking, went back pretty quick.
Great vid, about to start my fit so has definitely helped me plan 👍

Thanks for watching, i cant remember exactly but i think it was 6-8 mm, i only used it as i was given it so i can't i probably just checked it fitted the connectors and cracked on with it.
Hi what depth was the turret you used ? I see they range between 30 and 80mm
Hi Chaz, i think it was a 40mm but i cant be 100% certain as it was a couple of years ago now and i cant find where i ordered it.
Hiya, You said you used 12mm kopex, was that just for protection ? I'm having trouble locating the stuff, did you get it online ?
Great videos ;)
Hi Barry, yeh it was purely for added protection and the fact that it was available to me for free so its up to you weather you want to 8se it, if i didnt have it for free i would probably just used the pipe that it came with. 👍
Hi. I’m interested to know if this is still working fine. I’m concerned about buying cheap buying twice.
Hi Matthew, yeh its still working fine. We dont use the van as a full time camper so the heater isnt on all the time plus with the lockdowns we haven't managed to get many overnight stays in it.
Thanks.
Hi ya, great vid, but did you have to remove the fuel cooler by the tank or does the tank come out with out removing it? Going to do mine tomorrow
If that's the bit that looks like a small radiator then no, it managed to just drop past it. Just had to remove the plastic trimming.
@@itsthenortherners cheers mate yep that's the thing.
Wish me luck!!
@@ryanpage5296 good luck pal.
Nice job just do yourself a favour and get rid of cheap Chinese fuel filter other you'll be under the van soon good job tho 👍
Thanks Nick, i do actually have new fuel filter waiting for when the other one fails as it doesn't look to well made.
