Diesel Air Heater Review | Full unboxing, setup and test of a Diesel Air Heater by MaxPeedingRods 

Finally.. A Demonstration To Where As The Demonstrator Isn't Spending 25 Minutes Talking About Absolutely Nothing.. And? Never Really Gets To The Pont Of The Actual Heater.. THANK YOU SO MUCH... Great Video.. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

'im someone who feels the cold, thats why im so rugged up' wearing jeans with massive rips in them ahaha

If you leave the heater running over night (as I do with mine) the air duct can get very very hot. I made a small baffle of sorts out of a length of PVC pipe with gutter down pipe connector at either end to centre the duct through your PVC pipe. This helps act as a barrier between your extremely hot duct and your flammable tent material. A CO2 alarm from Bunnings will also give you peace of mind.

Great video, short and to the point. Delivered the info that I wanted without wasting my time.

This is by far the best video I've seen all week. I need this heater for my tent.

Daniel, thank you! I have watched your video for our MaXpeedingRods' air heaters carefully. So great videos. Thanks for your detailed introduction to our products and the installtion pf our air heater. And what impressed me a lot is that you even conducted a test for our heaters on cold night! Nice video!

I just bought one of these all in one units for winter camping and snowmobiling (warming tent), In a pinch, you could use one of these to heat your home in a power outage...

Essential in cold winters! Thanks for your introduction lol.

my instruction manual reads, do not bend the exaust too sharply. My way of saying it. Also my manual says, do not run the exaust out the same end of the heater as the intake of the burner. Thank ypou for clearing up those posible problems. Always best to be safe.

Heat Proof exhaust wrap!! The missing piece to my heating puzzle, you are the bomb!

To anyone reading this, you must check the tightness of the fuel line jubilee clips before using. QC is not great on the cheap Chinese heaters, and mine was a fire hazard out the box. Don't assume it will be safe, it very probably won't be.

Also, "I get really cold that's why I'm properly rugged up" has gaping holes in pants showing knees lmao

Another great video guys

thanks for the great video. very clear and easy to follow.

Good video! Fixing to order one for my Jeep Grand Cherokee... for them super cold nights for overland camping

People should understand how a heat exchanger works. By leaving the heat intake open to the outside world, you "could" be drawing Exhaust gasses into the tent. If you piped the air intake into the tent, it would be safer. 2 hoses are for burning, (the small ones) 2 are for heat. ( The large ones) The 2 should never meet. Good review though.

HIGHLY recommend you get a CO2 detector as well to put in your tent/camper/caravan. Very very important.

Brilliant, I live in a gazebo it’s a bit chilly, this feels perfect thanks

Thanks. Helpful demo.

Great review!

The air inlet on the back of the heater is drawing exhaust gases from outside into the tent.

Hey great video…. What size fuse did you use when u wired it up….or did it come fused already? also where did you get the heat wrap from? Cheers

Thanks for the video. Is the hot air hose safe uninsulated? Sure it get too hot where you worry it might melt the tent?

Great video Daniel, thanks for taking us through it! One question though, this is a 2KW unit, do you see a way this could be left on overnight and not overheat a tent of that size?

I'm trying to work out if you can turn it down if it gets too hot. Turn it off and it will get cold quick in a tent in winter . mabee a T piece to direct half the hot air away.

Is there a temperature sensor on the monitor? Can the monitor be removed and brought inside?

Does it run constantly or is there a temp probe that can be used to hold a certain temp ?

How long could the exhaust be theoretically? 10m or more? I'm considering the viability of using something like this in a basement.

A jubilee clip is a good idea especially you're own better quality 1 + exorst paste & silencer which will reduce the nose by 70% & have it atleast a fuw meters away as fumes blow back in the wind.

Hey mate, can the heater be turned down enough so as to not overheat such a small tent? thinking of getting one for an awning tent or maybe even swag if it gets low enough.

Does the unit turn on automatically if the temperature is below the set temp?

So how do you control the heat? Does the remote relay temps from tent to unit?

How are you powering that thing? Are you running off power from your vehicle, deep cycle batteries, or a power station?

Does the heat duct that goes into the tent get really hot? My concern is that the duct would cause the tent material to melt if exposed to high temps from the heat duct coming off the heater.

Do you just use a deep cycle 12 volt battery? How long does it last then.. using a good working battery..

How long is the heater hose?? Will it reach a rooftop tent??

I usually use natural australian wood fire air heater

I like it

How/where are you going to put this for a roof top camper use? You should have said/shown the outside vs the inside temp difference.

How do you set up remote?

I just got a heater identical to that one. The fuel line that comes off the pump/filter unit behind the fuel tank has to make such a sharp turn, that it's kinked, probably so tightly that no fuel will be able to pass through it. Is there a remedy for that? Thanks

3:32 good idea

How does the heater know the inside temperature so it can stay at the setting you choose?

Dang that lady friends accent is cute af! shes the VIP of this video

Can these operate out in bad weather?

probably good idea to keep that inlet filter out off the dirt

Bonjour merci pour les conseils et Ta vidéo peut tu me dire si se type de chauffage sont étanche pour restée la nuit dehors

Do you realise? You put the exhaust out the back near the air intake so enjoy the exhaust fumes in your tent

Dos it have temperature control?

Do you have any problems with ticking noises when its running

Hey mate mine said it needs engine oil but doesn’t have a anywhere for it Is it premix doesn’t say anything about it being 50:1 or anything

how long does one tank last?

can u do an update of the heater.

You need to move your exhaust pipe. It's blowing exhaust out the same side the air intake is sucking air in. That gap you have poked it thru is for the air inlet.

So what happens if it rains?

I would rather buy the smaller size model that works as good as that one😊

How many hours do you get off one tank of diesel?

Could this be mounted in a 4x4 for use whilst driving? Obviously the exhaust vent would be adapted to send the fumes out of the cabin. Cheers.

How many amp/watt this needs power?

Bigger.isnt ALWAYS BETTER😊

where is the room thermostat?

HOW MUCH FUEL DOES IT USE

I got mine from ebay for $130. They are a great unit but the pump is very noisy - fan as expected is noisy. The instructions are crap and no where does it tell you which is the burner inlet and outlet so can be connected the wrong way around. You need to have the actual intake for the heater side in the tent to improve efficiency so it does not have to heat cold outside air but on that model you have to get extras for that - the way you had the heater setup you could suck carbon monoxide from the exhaust into the tent. There are extensions available for $20 which combined with the secondary intake in the tent will make it safer. A great unit but precautions are needed to not gas yourself in the tent.

Hi. Do you constantly connect this to the 12 volt power supply like the car’s cig lighter socket or can it be disconnected once the heater starts running?

Great video again! Did the outlet get hot at all? Worried about melting the tent

How loud is the motor? Would it be similar to a generator (and therefore need turning off at night?)

Great video, showed me the heater is too loud.

Awesome! How would you rate the safety of the system and also the air quality in the tent?

Carbon monoxside sensor needed!

I just noticed your unit does not have a muffler/silencer.

Any concerns with the exhaust .....so close to the fuel line even with the heat proof exhaust rap..

Is it noisey?

Hi there I’ve watched a lot of videos on this product, and other versions!! No body has mentioned how loud it is? You obviously had it just outside the tent and it did seem quiet. Did you install the muffler? I couldn’t see it! Many thanks

Great review! Could you smell the fumes alot around camp or in the tent at all?

I recently bought the four pipe outlet version. The instruction booklet is USELESS, worse than useless. Can you do a video on the control panel?

What happens if it rains

Is there no problems with carbon monoxide poisoning from the hot air ,,,

What are soft generation I lived in the Canberra mountains in a tent in winter -10 every night with nothing more than blankets and candles to warm me lol

Looks like a great heater! Roughly how many hours of heat would you get if you fill the tank with diesel?

do you require an external power source? what if you wanted to use it in the backcourt try with no power source?

Really wrapped up!!!! You’ve got holes in your jeans 👖

How noisy is it

How long does a tank of diesel.last ? And how many lts is the tank ?

Sounds like the unit needs a thermostat feature. Allowing you to set a specific temp etc.

Hi I bought a similar diesel heater, Thermomate brand, i attached a cig lighter plug on the leads and unfortunately it didnt work when I plugged it on my vehicle cig lighter socket . The tech support said it only works when connected directly in to the vehicle’s battery. Any thoughts? I want to power this unit with portable lithium power pack. Thanks.

Are you still using it?

You need to move your exhaust to a different location. Your sucking the exhaust into the fresh air input for the heater.

Meant to soak that heat wrap in water before applying 😅just sayin

Ebay has the exact same system for $149

So, it needs an inlet and exhaust to the outside...........if I wanted to use it in my garage workshop.......definitely not a purely internal device per se.........and the 12 volt supply.....what's the amperage?......no fun lugging a battery around.

what happens when it starts to rain?

Why put Insulating tape on the Exhaust? What are you trying to retain?

Is this one a 5kw or 8kw?

can kerosene be used

These are def overkill for a tent or my little squaredrop camper - you have to bleed heat off or you cook.

Gwamping.....

Did you have problems with diesel fumes?

Don't forget to wear gloves to install the exhaust tape .... because your first night camping may be itchy 😅😅😅

My tent was puffed out like a marshmallow! Yours has wrinkles in it!

Bought one and lasted 40 minutes contact via email and it's been 1 month with several emails to no avail so far and they want me to pay for shipping for replacement which i agreed to it's been a week since last email still haven't heard from them NOT HAPPY
