- Hello Everyone,
I Received another great product from Vevor and it's the 8kw Diesel Heater with an upgraded control unit. I am going to test it out to see if this is the ultimate way to keep you warm during winter camping!
And it's powered by EBL 1000-watt Power Station! so it should power the diesel heater all night.

I have one of these on the way already, thanks for the informative video!
Glad I was able to help! thank you for watching!
So cool seeing you getting cool stuff for your hard work making videos 🤙
Thank you brotha!
Very interesting review. Thanks Bryan! 🙃
Thank you Tony!
Aye Vevor! Just like my awning👍 I was looking at one of their roof baskets for my off road trailer build.
Gotta say, they do make great quality stuff for cheap!
Great video straight to the point and informative. The diesel heaters have come a long way from the ones a few years ago. Cheer mate.
Thanks and yes they did!! before you will have to adjust the air flow manually according to the elevation but now, everything is automated.
Man thanks for this, I’ve been trying to figure out how to use a cigarette lighter on one of these for a little while.
Thank you for tuning in.
I really like the square smaller version. I'm sure after using it a few times, it gets easier to set up and use. Gonna buy the 8kw Horizontal All-in-one. Great video brother!
Thanks! And from my usage, it really works great!
The 8KW is actually just the 5KW relabeled. There is no such thing as an 8KW model. If you did your research you will fin this out. It's a lie but atleast most people know it and just buy a 5KW to save a few bucks.
These heaters are mostly all from the same company. The Vevor, Wippro, some of the Hcalory and no name brands are identical except for the sticker on them. And they all still come with the cheap useless green fuel line that is garbage and should be outlawed. It has been known to swell and leak, which could cause a fire being so close to the exhaust port! Don't use it.
Kool heater .
Hello my friend, you should try putting a plastic bag under your fuel cap in and around the threads, that should help stop the leaks. Take care.
Thank you for your idea.
Merci pour cette vidéo !!!
Good job
Thank you very much!
hey man. love this video. but quick question. how safe are these mounting into an enclosed van with the exhaust helpfully routed out and sealed properly. would the unit being inside a small place be an issue at all?
Thank you and no, as long as the exhaust is tightly sealed, you wont have any problems running it inside. I at times put the heater inside the tent during raining days and it works.
Hi! Great review, thank you! One question on the temperature control. Is the temperature only sensed at the Controller? if so, is the controller detachable to bring into the tent so it's reading the ambient air in there?
Great question. Yes, you are correct but the wire is only about 9 inch long so if you want it longer so you can bring it in the tent, you can cut and attach longer wires.
@@ChasingAdventuresCO thank you!
Any help on setting the time?
an excellent product, the only drawback is that it does not have an ambient thermostat to stop it when it reaches the set temperature.
The ambient thermostat is built in to the main controller so you can bring that into the tent.
@@ChasingAdventuresCO ... I am thinking about this but maybe I don't know to make settings I will try to made settings like you do and I will see after what happen.
Thank you
@@Mugabis anytime!
the hole in the cap is not to let pressure out. atmospheric pressure is 14.7. in order to pump from the tank , air has to enter into the top of the tank. If that hole is blocked as the fuel is used it will create a Vacuum and your fuel flow will stop.
it works both ways, otherwise, the tank will blow up as you go higher in elevation so it needs to release the air build-up as well.
Thanks for your video can this be used outside like left outside your tent in rain or bad weather
And just pipe the hot air in your tent
it is ideal to leave it outside of the tent but it's not weatherproof so if it rains, you have to have it covered. I usually have an umbrella over it.
At max seeing using you ebl 1000, if feul wasn't an issue how long would you be able to run it for on max with that power station?
if you are running only a diesel heater at max temp. with the 1000@ power station, you should be able to heat it for around 20 hours.
Do you remove exhaust pipe after use or put in storage?
you do not need to but to make better use of space, I do
How long does the 1k Watt battery last running that heater?
depending on the level of heat you set to but anywhere from 30 to 20 hours.
Thank you for the video.
Quick question: if I leave the heater outside of camper, does it have an indoor temperature sensor to automatically stop/start by indoor temperature?
great question! the sensor is in the controller so as long as you have the controller in the camper, it will work. however, the cable for the controller is a bit short so you have to extend it.
@@ChasingAdventuresCO Thank you my friend. That's very helpful.
@@k.i.m.5506 No problem!! I will be using this heater in future videos and I will be placing it outside the tent so you can see how it works.
@@ChasingAdventuresCO Thank you, my friend. Looking forward to your new video.
Please tell me more about the extension cable. Can you buy one that plugs in, or do you have to cut the orginal and splice wires in?
Do you need to have the power station to use the heater? Is diesel how it generates heat but still needs electricity to run?
you are correct. you still need power to run the heater
Another question
Is it too noisy for neighborhood? If there is a tent near to you ?
Not really, even when inside my own tent, it's not too bad.
It sounds like the ticking noise of the pump kinda got quieter after it got up and running. Is that your observation?
It sounds the same but when you lower the temperature, it slows down. And when the heater is outside of the tent, you barely hear tje ticking noise
Brian, did your unit need priming in the beginning, or did it automatically go thru the priming sequence first?
Hi, no, no priming needed. just filled with diesel and fired it up and started right away.
@ChasingAdventuresCO Okay, yeah, I think the newer models with the digital display have an automatic priming sequence when you start it. The older models need to be primed manually first, then started. Thanks brother. 🤙🏼
@@TX_TANK I have an older Vevor model too and in the manual, it said to prime it first so I primed it and it was a big mess. LOL but I recently tested another new diesel heater with an even older 1st gen controller, and I started it without priming and it worked!!
@ChasingAdventuresCO Cool brother, I remember that you had to tear apart that 1st heater to figure out why it wasn't working. I made a few mods with mine: padded the carrying handle, added a 90° adapter to the exhaust pipe for quick disconnect, and added a 5 ft expandable air duct hose to really stretch it out into the tent. If I have time, I'll put up a video next month. Thanks again for suggesting the heater, definitely works great. 👍🏻
@TX_Tank oh yeah. That was no fun.. and the whole time, I thought it was something wrong with the diesel heater 😒... lol. And yes! Would love to see your mods to the it. Also what hose are you using? I tried a dryer hose and it didn't work out too well. It was giving off this rubber smelling that gave me a headache.
How'd you get away with using 10 amp and not 15 amp ? Says in the manual in 3 pages don't use cigi lighter and 10 amp isnt enough for glow plug ?
14 amp is needed it only to start the diesel heater and some powerstation like the EBL I am using can boost output amp and will be able to be put out close to 14 amps. Like 13.6 so it works. But other powerstaion like the bluettie, and vtoman couldn't get it to start.
Is a power station or battery required or can it run just off diesel?
A power source is needed to run the diesel heater.
Vertical or square for preformance? Or same preformance?
It's the same
I accounter problem of over heating so next time maby oversize the outlet
Really? I used the provided tubing and didn't have any overheating issues.
hello! is it water resistant?
it is some what water resistant, you just have to cover the controller
I heard the 5kw vs 8kw vevor diesel heater is pretty much the same thing, is that true?
pretty much. even the label says 5-8k
@@ChasingAdventuresCO thank you for the info
@@facts1752 sure, Anytime!
Only while your traveling, cover the air hole on your fuel cap.
learned it the hard way and now I do. I tape the hole now but I find that when going to higher elevations, I do have to vent it at least once.
RE : Wiring. I would use shielded connectors...So they cant short out.. AND Does the cap on teh vert unit not close tight? Most caps have an open /close funtion for the concern you raised. TY for the vid it is helpful
Thanks for your input! I was only testing it but normally I would put a electrical tape so it won't short like you mentioned and the cap has relief valve so it cam spill out the diesel fuel when it's relieving the gas.
How long does that battery pack last?
on high, it should last about 20 hours
gallon of desiel every 8 hours isnt acteueally too effiecant at all...at $5 a gal that about $420:bucks a month to run that thing...Thats acteueally really expensive heating...
umm yes, if you run it for 24 hours for 30 days but I don't plan on camping for that long also compared to propane it is still cheaper.
Hi im ilon musk
hello Ilon
@@ChasingAdventuresCO I want to tell you about my new artificial intelligence
DONT FILL WITH GAS!
never fill a Diesel Heater with regular GAS!!
Maybe your neighbor is thinking the same thing about your vid your making ? I don’t understand why these content creators think the world should stop because there making a video …
It was for the viewers and not for me. Because if I don't mention it, I know someone would of said, " you couldn't pick a different day to film it?"
Sorry for apologizing, jeez...
You're his neighbor aren't you Clay?? 🤣
@@huf67 haha maybe he is! LOL
🤔 🙄 😔
@@ChasingAdventuresCO your comment was spot on - I did not interpret it as negative only informative! Nice vid too!
