Built this kit utilizing this video as a guide. The instructions were great, precise and easy to follow. I purchased his 3D printed parts and found them to be high quality that have been measured with precision and fit perfectly. You have to appreciate Keegan's attention to detail. You can buy a prebuilt heater for a cheaper price but you don't get the satisfaction that you built it! Thanks for the inspiration and guidance!

If you put the cable for the file line in from the output hole of the tank first, and fish it from the fill hole of the tank, then you can connect the fitting from the fill afterwards, and the the process should be much easier. Thanks for a nice video 🙏

@wt9653 5 месяцев назад

Since I don't see anyone doing it so I've been passing on the info. I made a true all in one diesel heater using a Ridgid medium size box. Inside I placed the heater, 20ah LFP battery, solar controller, AC to DC charger, cooling fan, light, voltage monitor, USB, 12v socket, charging port, and a 5 liter fuel tank with quick disconnect fuel hose. I just started building another case using the Apache 4800 case. I'm keeping this one simple. I placed the heater with a 50ah LFP battery. I still had room for the controller, 12v socket, and voltage monitor. To keep it clean. I mounted a small external case for the fuel pump and the filter. I just started making extendable legs for the case.

@crankshaft007 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for taking the time for the video. I question the 3d printed fuel pump holder? Isn’t that just a receipt to amplify the already load pump. Mounting it to a hard plastic holder then mounted to the case? Secondly I question having the exhaust and intake so close together, even though different sides of the case. I have found multiple occasions a slight breeze can blow exhaust around the case and drawn into the intake. Thirdly? No muffler? Wow that’s a huge mistake

@chasejiannalone8763 Год назад

Keegan- When placing the fuel fitting in the tank. Feed the wire through the small hole first, as it easier to fish out of the filler neck.Then attach the fitting and pull back through. Moto tanks with fuel pumps are done this way as well. Same issue.

@shawnthomas6460 Год назад

Love the kit. I had to use a vibratory saw instead of the dermal tool. It was much easier. Assembly took me approximately 4 hours. I also used the five connector for me to place the panel in the tent. I then extended the wires 6 ft. If you run the wire thru the small hole out to the fill hole it's a lot easier. The only concern that I have is that the vent fan runs constantly even if the unit is off. I am currently working on how to stop that without having a secondary switch. If you have any thoughts on that I would love to hear your idea.

@keeganbuilds Год назад

My thought was to use some sort of current sensing switch. It senses higher current then turns on) OR find some sort of line inside the heater that runs the heater fan and tap into that. I use this system now for a few years (the 2kw) and the small fan doesnt really drain the battery or anything so I havent invested much time into that part

@alanhat5252 Год назад

is the case fan necessary at all?

@shawnthomas6460 Год назад

@@alanhat5252 So far with my experience it can be removed. That being said I believe it does add ventilation to the box for the heater and that isn't a bad thing.

@Innov8orRepair Год назад

Interesting device. Why not put the fuel connection on the other side of the tank by the fan side and mount the pump over that way too to keep the exhaust free and clear of the fuel system? It looks like there's room to do it.

@SuperBigmike40 8 месяцев назад

What a great video and it's the one I'm going to follow when I build mine. One question though why put the thermostat in the case? Surely you want that in whatever space you're heating?

@keeganbuilds 8 месяцев назад

I find that these thermostats are very ineffective. They heat your room at full blast until gets to temp and then essentially shut down. I find putting in “Hertz” mode you can essentially keep a constant low/medium or high based on your needs with the wireless remote from your tent.

@jackg8478 Год назад

Awesome build, appreciate your videos and attention to detail. I copied you with the 12v computer fan. I also wired it like you did. The drawback I see with this set up is that once I plug in the power cable (to my power source) the computer fan runs, even if I don't have the heater running. Maybe the fan takes such little power that it is not an issue? Thoughts? Thanks again.

@sledhead904 Год назад

you can add a switch internal or external, its custom, do what you like. I've also see them with just and air filter, no fan.

@jackg8478 Год назад

@@sledhead904 i think I'll leave mine so the computer fan runs whenever it's plugged in. The heater stays outside the tent, so adding a switch means i would need to get to the box to turn it off and on. I control the heater with a remote. I think the computer fan takes negligible power. Not gonna worry about it, unless it becomes an issue.

@Absouloot Год назад

Looks to be a great build! I am just getting all my parts now to try it out! Very much looking forward to it! Huge question, you don't show much of the unit running other than a bench test, and there is a company that has a similar idea with the unit built in a box, however they show the exhaust extension running out of the box with the a muffler. When you run this in the real world, do you also run something to get the exhaust away from the box and have you thought of trying to put a muffler inside the box? I was thinking IF there was room, maybe wrapping the muffler with heat shield wrapping. From the one video I have found, it does seem to make a difference with the muffler. I wasn't sure if not running an extension would be a concern with the heat coming out at that point. I put in an order for your parts last week, I just need your parts to arrive, and I am off building! Thanks for a great tutorial!

@keeganbuilds Год назад

Hey Brad, thanks for the order! I appreciate the business. I do not use a muffler when I run my heater. Its totally able to do it with the extra exhaust piping if you want tho!

@raczyk 10 месяцев назад

Just curious there a reason so have part of the exhaust (1 foot or so) on the case before exhausting it out? Would it be better to mount the heaters exhaust right against the case, and have it leave right away?  The exhaust hose int he case will just cause heat build up and potential fire. No?

@kbentz8 Год назад

I have the 8kw and just came across your build. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I will have to modify my build though. My heater has the 4 port air outlet. Do you have plans to print an adapter for this type of heater casing?

@RavensEyeOffroad Год назад

I didnt know you could run these in different orientations. I thought the exhaust etc always had to be on the "bottom".

@keeganbuilds Год назад

If you pop the top off your heater you will notice the glow plug is on the corner of the unit. The glow plug should always remain “up” so fuel doesn’t leak out of the threads. If you can imagine that since it’s located on a corner the unit can be placed on 2 of the 4 sides. Only 2 orientations work to keep that glow plug up. I positioned the heater inside the case so that it can operate either with the case lid open or in briefcase mode. Hope that makes sense

two questions for a newbie... how come you don't use the muffler for the exhaust? Also the air intake, wouldn't it be better to take air from outside the case? seems a little risky to take air inside the case if there were any air contamination.

@keeganbuilds Год назад

muffler can totally be used, if you want to ive found that these do not make too much noise as is so its just one more thing. As for the air intake, the breathing air is taken from outside the case. The intake that you see inside the case is for the combustion intake. Also, the computer fan forces extra air into the case to clear out any potentially leaks.

@vin9976 Год назад

What's the right Ducting for these things? I've seen people say the PVC stuff isn't right. I've got some flexible ducting with a PVC outer and a shiny Alum inner...the diameter is fairly small too unless I fully stretch it. Worry about back pressure. The more rigid stuff that came with it seems fine? Is that right?

@PainterD54 7 месяцев назад

Is there a reason why people are installing a heater in a plastic box, when you can just buy one that's installed much better for less money that actually looks and works good! Why would you try to suck the warm intake air from inside the box with the lid closed or do you run with it open? Either way, you shouldn't use inside warm air for the burn chamber. Outside air being colder and more dense ignites better, and you really don't want to be using warm air and blowing it outside.

In this setup I find that the added safety it brings outweighs the minor 2 watts of energy draw.

Question for 85-95 bucks your using nylon x carbon fiber correct ? Not Pet-G

@keeganbuilds Год назад

Not PETG. Using carbon fiber infused polycarbonate

Hello, I am new here. I am very interested in purchasing the whole kit.

@dexfon7812 Год назад

hi, what are the dimensions of this box in centimeters?

@scottshellenberger4721 Год назад

Does your kit come with the rubber spacers on the outlet air? If not, where did you get yours?

@keeganbuilds Год назад

Those rubber spacers ship with the output from ebay

Using your layout and 2kw parts which I bought from you…. Can you put the controller screen inside the 2kw smaller case (without it melting)?

@keeganbuilds Год назад

you sure can! Then just remember to run your heater on Hertz mode and control heater speed with the wireless remote.

@user-hd1ok5rr5v Год назад

Great setup. Will the parts be back in stock soon on the Etsy site?

@keeganbuilds Год назад

Just restocked!

@user-hd1ok5rr5v Год назад

👍 thanks!.. do you know the type of hose and length that comes with it? Only ask because I was looking at getting the insulated stuff

I have a Vevor 8k that I am trying to salvage. I suppose the 5k parts from your store WOULD NOT work correct?

@keeganbuilds Год назад

I believe 5 and 8kw are the same size. Does it use 75mm tubing? If so then it should work

@hunter_pauley Год назад

@@keeganbuilds Dude you just need to build these kits also lol. You got the audience that would purchase, including myself.

@keeganbuilds Год назад

@@hunter_pauley haha I know right! Wish I could fulfill that

@webworldwide Год назад

Do you have an Eta on when the 2kw parts might be dropping in the Etsy store next ?

@keeganbuilds Год назад

Just reloaded the Etsy store.

@thatwideangle9781 Год назад

Love the design! Do you sell the print files if I wanted to print the on my own printer?

@keeganbuilds Год назад

I do not, someone tried to steal my design and sell them for themselves so its ruined for everyone now. booo

@thatwideangle9781 Год назад

Ahhh that sucks. Completely understand. Thanks for doing all the hard work so the rest of us can benefit!

Again I would’ve just bought a prebuilt one and added an m12 6.0 from Amazon

@kevinfulgencio4386 Год назад

Im planning using you build to make my own diesel heater (2kw) version. I was wondering if you have the STLs for the 2kw version? I found your thingiverse page with the 5kw. Thanks!

@JOJO00200 Год назад

I'm curious for the STL files as well

@zr2overlander323 Год назад

Any idea when you will have the 5/8KW kits back in stock on easy?

@keeganbuilds Год назад

Sorry was on a trip didn’t realize it sold out. I’ve fixed it.

Why the 12v fan on the case??

@keeganbuilds 10 месяцев назад

3 reasons, 1) provides air to the heater combustion intake, 2) keeps components inside the case cool, 3) helps evacuate any potential off gassing or fumes if there was ever an issue.
