In today's video I attempted to install a Chinese Diesel Heater step by step into the main fuel tank with ‪@UrbanVanlife‬. Sadly we had some error messages and codes that came up every time we started the heater so had to do some problem solving to see what was going wrong with my Chinese diesel heater.

@andymcclelland4243 2 года назад

The reason it’s not working is because you have fuel filter around the wrong way and your using the shit fuel pipe that comes with it if you go on eBay for about £10 you can get the uprated fuel pipe that is hard and your have no problems if your local to bmth I can help you

Hi bud - I have fit a few of these in my time. Here are my points. - the fuel filter is set the wrong way around (I know you discounted it) set this as close to the tank as poss and the screw cap end is the towards heater end. - the pump with such a long run dry can destroy itself I would swap out the pump first. - the green line is pretty rubbish, it expands with the pump pulses - swap this out to hard nylon line asap and set the pump as close to the heater as possible - the longest run suggested for the pump is 2m from tank to heater - less with green line. Hope you figure it out, if you need a extra pair of hands I’m in Bristol if you need help.

Hello Will, I installed one of these last week. I would say change the green fuel line to a smaller diameter white nylon fuel line; available on ebay for a few quid. Not a 100% wether that will solve the issue, as you guys tried with a short run from the fuel can. But definitely worth giving a go

@richardmillican7733 2 года назад

Yes the white harder fuel lines are better... But, will needs to turn of the internet, and get Scotty road man, to put the in line filter the right way around??

@abdulbham3406 2 года назад

Hey Will hope your well and still fighting the diesel heater. I suggest you get the white nylon pipe and also use a separate tank as close as you can to the diesel heater so the pump doesn’t have to work too hard also that way you’ll be Abel to use red diesel as that’s much cheaper. Hope this help x

@thinkingoutofthebox.9421 2 года назад

I fitted a 2kw diesel heater because my van is a small Transit custom SWB hightop. Mel fitted a 5kw in his mwb sprinter and it was too hot on lowest setting. I didn't use the soft green pipe, I used a thinner hard pipe, and with the Transit clip on attachment you just cut off the spare auxiliary spur on the Sender unit on the van fuel tank and push the straw in and clip it on, all worked fine.

@thebeardedgeordiephotography 2 года назад

Mate I've got a little nissan nv200 and the heater that turned up for mine was a 5Kw version 😳 it's in the garage for now but I'm seriously contemplating fitting it anyway for this winter (use it for astrophotography) and change it next spring for a 2Kw. I should think it will only be on for ten mins at gas mark crematorium to keep me toasty 😂😂😂😂

Hiya will, throw that crap heater in the bin, and get urself a multi fuel burner, Pipsqueak is what u need, u have the room, the stove comes with its own hearth, u can cook on it, there's no noise, it will stay in all night, and u will b to warm, but better tha being cold, loads of wood about, , it burns s.mokeless coal as well which burns longer and is hotter, am glad i got one in my van, Happy new year Will😃

@Kitfoxmk1 2 года назад

Sorry to see you had trouble. I’ve just fitted a 2kw heater to my boxer and it provides more than enough heat, even on its lowest setting. It’s been fantastic and hasn’t given any trouble. As far as I can see the only difference I have to yours is that I’ve used a separate fuel tank, it has a shorter fuel run, incidentally im pretty sure you’ve got the filter the wrong way round (you need to be able undo it and have the crud on the outside of the filter so you can clean it). I primed my fuel line using a 50ml syringe and dragged the fuel through to the heater. My fuel pump is very close to the heater but obviously under the floor. All the reviews I’ve seen are excellent as is mine so hopefully you will get it sorted and still have spent only one tenth of the European version!

Not having a lot of luck lately are you Will. It's not easy to keep your patience when a few things go wrong at the same time. At least with Neil and his experience of installing Chinese Diesel Heaters you know it was a fault with the product you bought. The good thing about all this is you now realise it's better to go with the 5kw heater instead of the 2kw heater that you had. All this is good experience for any other van builds in the future. Stay strong mate, you'll get there soon. Graham 💪

@richardkelly4254 2 года назад

My money would be on the fuel lines, you need hard nylon ones. When the pump sucks on soft tubing like that it collapses the pipe (cavitation) rather than suck fuel from the tank.

@librab103 2 года назад

That might be the problem. I do not know why these kits come with soft green tubing instead of ridge nylon that I am sure if these companies bought in bulk would maybe add $1 to cost.

the flange-spring is offset to the conurbation union joint, is so obvious if you look at the google sprocket as it in a concentric arc, best thing to do is use high magnetic frequency plates to disjoint the flux.

My van was 4 degrees the other day and in about an hour of having it on it was 24 degrees and the beauty of it is you can turn it down and it will maintain temperature beautifully and I'm guessing it will be more fuel efficient. I wouldn't replace it for a 5kw. I have had zero issues in 2 years . That 5kw in that van is going to be toasty too quick . You would be turning it off and on all the time. I'd consider keeping it. Good luck

fuel filter was the wrong way around, the green hose is known for causing aggro so best to change it for the hard nylon stuff, youll also need the slightly bigger black fuel line and jubilees for connecting it all together. these heaters can be a pain. i have 2 2kws both working but have had teething problems getting them going. it did look like air was entering the fuel filter somehow. you should see air bubbles (cavitation from pump) after the pump but not before it. i connected everything up apart from the pump and gravity primed my lines then quickly inserted the pump in the fuel line where it should be without losing too much fuel. id look at changing the fuel pickup on the sender unit for a proper metal pipe. these can be a pain but worth it when u get there in the end. hope you get it sorted

The fault most report is E8 - lack of fuel - usually because the filter isn't primed, and it times out pumping fuel - then E10 (multiple faults), if it tries a few times pumping fuel, but still hasn't loaded. Filling the filter with a syringe is a good idea, as if you keep running the pump too many times, the pump will wear out eventually, before it is fully lubricated. A long stretch of fuel line doesn't help - keeping it as short as possible reduces required work/pressure. Those pumps are pretty cheap, and are bare metal on metal inside. The quality, expensive, super quiet ones cost as much as the whole heater again! But as you discounted that, may be the heater itself. I have the same 2K and it worked first time, been running trouble free a few years. You may have just been unlucky. If you got it on Ebay/Amazon. make sure you don't go past the returns date.

@tyranneous 2 года назад

Great video... But, word of warning... Diesel pumps pump diesel. They don't suck air - or at least, they're very bad at it. The other thing is that typically, a diesel pump will be designed to be lubricated by the diesel they're pumping, so if you're pumping air then the pump isn't being lubricated. This means that running it for any length of time will damage the pump, and it won't pump properly - or enough - any more. As such the line between the tank and the pump should be as short as possible, and ideally below the fuel line in the tank, that way the line before the pump, even after not running for a while, will remain filled with diesel for the next time it starts. Evidence for what I've said: vehicles have in-tank lift pumps for this reason - the inlet of which is always submerged. Worth bearing in mind when you fit the next upgrade!

You could have drilled through the breather tube directly on the sender unit. Saves taking out the sender unit.

@RustyCandyAdventures 2 года назад

The pump is not designed to suck. It needs to be close to tank. It can push. The exhaust I fitted a copper elbow which increased size then on pipe. Just fitted silencer. You might need bigger pipe.

Hi Will, Mark here. Did you try the pump pulse rate as I noticed at the end you had it set to 35 degrees meaning fuel supply demand is likely more than the pump pulse rate can provide.

@UrbanVanlife 2 года назад

having it on the highest temp just means the unit will continue until the internal temp of the van reaches 35,deg . the only difference with pulce is your slowing down the pump rate and , its technically both the same but not the same , but ultimately dose the same thing , high pulce and high temp just means the units going to run on full and vice versa for lowinging pulse and temp

Hi Will and Neil, the channel Mel’s big van small world?, just swapped out a 5Kw heater for a 2Kw heater because he found it was to hot, why he didn’t just turn the thermostat down I don’t know. He did find something of interest , there was evidence on the mounting plate of soot at the exhaust port so used exhaust putty to give a good seal when he reinstalled the heater. Will, you could always sleep over at Charlie and Lauren’s van as their heater works just fine, or have I just cursed that for them? Hope all goes well with the replacement heater.

@vandemon1822 2 года назад

Will I have heard that the 2 kw heater Does give problems a 2 kw heater is the same price as a 5kw however I've heard you need to go into the settings on the controller and change some settings as the controller is set up for 5kw one's Good luck with that one

@aureltanasan1413 2 года назад

Change the glow plug, I had this on a new heater, drove me mad 3days trying various things. I took a plug of a known working heater, and hay presto, it fired up and still working over two years later. Change the glow plug and it will fire up.

@angusrobinson7032 2 года назад

Unfortunately loads of things contributing to it not working and if it does work the efficiency will be poor. The filter is backwards, the pumps are great at pushing but not at sucking so best to install it as close to the tank as possible. The chinese units are copies of the eberspacher/webasto ones but the chinese pumps lack the built in filter, so theyre best mounted straight vertical with inlet at the bottom to prevent air bubbles blocking diesel from lubricating one side of the valve constantly, if not vertically, at least close to, and definiteely not horizontally. As for people suggesting the white skinnier fuel lines, they're best to run from the pump to the heater, but its best to have the larger line running from tank to pump so there's no resistance limiting the pumps supply. I also suggest getting another section of exhaust tubing and using it as your inlet pipe, much stronger and wont collapse and block the air intake if a rock hits it while driving and cause the heater to fail on next use. Ideally exhaust pointing to the rear also, no more than 90deg bend and no low spots without drain holes or condensation/rain will block it. Learnt most of this from John Mck 47 on his channel, no one knows more about diesel heaters! some tips are just common sense. Cheers!

@p24hrsmith 2 года назад

I've had these codes and what you do is turn the heater over and just between the inlet and exhaust you hit it really hard with a ruddy big sledgehammer 🔨⚒️🔨

Daft comment time, are you worried about the pipe running from the sender unit (under the van) getting damaged? Should you run it through some flexy conduit to protect it?

@toddv6411 2 года назад

Hi, that pump only pumps .02ml per stroke (click) ... AND relies on diesel for lubrication. So, running it dry for so long trying to suck fuel through that long feed ... not doing the pump any favors. Always draw fuel through the line to the pump suction side before running the pump. Cheers.
