Portable Disiel Heater

.
.Browny..........
We have had a Wabasto airtop 2000 (2kw ) in our van for about 10 years....no troubles at all......
Back then there was not much choice, it was about 1600 bucks for all the bits and i fitted it............
If yours is portable , i hope the exhaust is external, otherwise there might not be too much Browny around.....
Actually, a carbon monoxide detector should be mandatory with any combustion heater ,
especially in confined spaces.............We have one on the wall near the bed head............
One other thing , with the fuel tank on the unit, you have to be really careful when topping up the fuel,
otherwise you will be eating tea etc , and sniffing diesel at the same time...................

I bought one of the Chinese 5 kw units for the van. Thought i would give it a run on the bench before installing. Filled the diesel tank , and as i was about to connect battery and give it a run , a pool of diesel appeared on the bench and just kept getting bigger. Quick as i could removed the cabinet
and low and behold . Some "digbat" had put the wrong length screw in the bottom of the cabinet right through the fuel tank. Removed the tank , welded
it up , refitted tank , refilled , connected everything and all appears ok. No need to think what might have happened, had i installed it in the van and hit
the start button. Could have got a bit ugly , with the van parked under the patio of the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the guidance and suggestions
Looked at that Youtube and was most help full change the the battery in the remote ( Made a difference )
Have been bench testing all seems good

So this means the diesel heater had a electrical problem

As the saying goes "erection problem? Call a erectrician" :dry: :lol: :lol: :lol:
