Useful to know. I used an old power unit from a PC. They need a simple rewire on an output to give 12 volts but there a e loads of YT videos how to do it. Been running my diesel heater from one for a year.
You can do this with a PC power pack two but just make sure it says the input is AC and that the output is DC because otherwise it’s not gonna work if it’s AC to AC the output Hass to be DC alternating current because otherwise the diesel heater is just going to run and then as soon as it fires up the fan blade is going to shut off and then you’re gonna lose power to the whole entire thing and then it’s gonna turn back on and it’s just gonna continue doing that so make sure y’all have the output DC current
The Chinese pH draws over 10amps on start up on some models so you just need the 12v with a draw of up to 15amps be wary as those xbox converters do sometimes fail
Don't use anything that is cheap & Unreliable because if it stops working or if you have a power cut for only two seconds & Don't have a battery back up you can say goodbye to your diesel heater , The diesel heater has to do a turn off cycle where it turns on the glow plug & heats up the burn chamber to burn off all the diesel in the chamber then it turns the fan on to run very quickly to cool down the camber before it closes down , If it has not done this it can damage the motherboard & other parts .
Good one, I was going to score a power supply
Add tumble dryer sheets to outlet smells amazing

I get a error 2, wich means it get a bit of overvoltage, but it starts the second time i switch it on

Gday, do you think the Xbox 360 power pack with 12v 12.6 amps output do the job without problem?
just seen this Si....... great idea!!!!
How about the pc charger ??
WHY TF does it take so long to explain something so simple?
