Review & Test: Amazon's Cheapest Diesel Heater - Worth It? 

🔗 Get the SILVEL Diesel Heater: amzn.to/41pF4XF (amazon affiliate link)

Man your whole demeanor is just so wholesome sometimes, like when you showed us the fuse and said "dont laugh some guys were never shown or learned this", as well as "proho is not good at a few things like some maths and electronic sort of things", and I truly felt that in my soul and was able to even laugh at myself a bit when I'm typically pretty embarassed and ashamed about stuff like that. I guess I sort of was raised by a single mother now that I think of it because my abusive alcoholic father was always working but my mom taught me more than he ever did. Shes gone now (passed in '18 when my firstborn was 6 months old) but at least there's channels like yours that can help teach young men like myself and many others I'm sure who are also alone in this world.

I had mine during the texas winter storm afew years back we didn't have power for 2 days it kept our 800 sq ft living area above 54 degrees at High. The diesel tank lasted about 8 hours for us. Ive only used it 2 times total but that single time it proved to be worth more than its money.

As a spinal injury survivor with a long time mentally ill father and no other family.. I really appreciate being in your shop with you❤✝️

Nicely done jack! Cody, keep the old school vids coming I think most of us OGs love it

Cody, I’ve been watching you for a very long time. Im 27 now. The amount of information you have provided me, invaluable. Thank you so much.

you can run these on waste or veg oil if you rig up a second tank and fuel selector. You have to get it up to temp on diesel or kerosene. Then shut it down on the same. Ive been using one in a small shed on my property. it works great to quickly get the space warmed up while i get a fire going. Plus just keeping some heat going to keep my water storage from freezing.

I use these in Oregon to heat my greenhouses in winter full of cactus.. currently I’m running four them. We run them Heavy, when you run them hard they have to be cleaned and rebuilt. They are easy to rebuild.

Great video! I just installed one of these in my small shop. I run the unit outside with a dryer duct hose into the shop. I've been running it a few hours every day and haven't even went through a full tank yet. One of my best purchases of Amazon so far.

I saw somebody run the exhaust through an oil radiator. This seemed to be helping catch the “waste” heat. I enjoy your videos and would like to see you do this with your personal touch! As you can tell I’ve been looking into using one in my garage! So I was excited to see you upload this during this time! 🙃

I wasn't looking for a heater...but I clicked the link and hit the $20 off coupon running now. I see how this could be a life saver . Thanks for all you do.

I have been hoping and waiting for this video!

That fuse was getting the best of those soft, west coast hands! Great content as always! God bless.

Been running one of these in my shop for a couple years. Flawless so far.

I am so glad we’re going back to Amazon reviews!

Love this channel this was exactly the review I was looking for

Love the Chanel and the content!! Thank you for keeping it real

These are the videos I love by you Cody :)

Heck yeah love love the camera angles ! Haha really enjoyed videos you made about the Amazon hatchet ! Now I just need to do the stuff to it that you said in the other video !

I’ve had one for 2 years. I converted mine to operate off Milwaukee 18v tool batteries. When I’m on job sites it is completely self contained. Works fantastic. I got a large sunroom I built last couple weeks up to 32c degrees inside.

I never knew about fuse testing with the probe. Thanks for taking the time to go over stuff that is simple to you, but stuff some of us have just never been exposed to.

If you get into the small Anderson connectors I highly recommend buying the proper crimp tool for them.

Ive been using one to heat a 3 car attached garage working on peojects in Minnesota. Works great! Have it vented outside and will keep the garage around 60-65 when the temps are below freezing.

Love this video. Very informative.

This video was an absolute masterpiece!

That was an awesome review !!

Excellent breakdown and explanation.

I love seeing how you set your boxes up

This video is actually helpful thanks alot

Excellent video - very clear explanations. Thanks

Holy cow! I love this guy!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The edit of you watching the 6 videos was hilarious! Thank you.

U the man dude! Taught me so much to consider that j never thought of before watching some of your videos

Thanks for doing a video on one of these heaters Been wanting the look into One I'll be sure to catch your second video

The universe always seems to provide when needed. I spent the last few days watching videos on these for my small shop office. I was really curious about this cheaper little unit. Thanks for the video!

My wife has been going through 2 years of chronic undiagnosed pain and therefore subsequently i have had 2 years of pain watching my wife suffer while being unable to find the right treatment for her condition. Wranglerstar and his families videos have given my wife and I distraction & peace of mind and soul through many hard days and sleepless nights. Thankyou Cody, my goal is to give my wife the homesteading life

Excellent video as always. Reminded me of the diesel heater experiment videos I've been making for years: my favorite being a waste heat thermal recovery on the exhaust using an old large cast iron steam heating radiator. By the time the exhaust passes through the radiator and to the outside it has dumped almost all its heat and is just warm steam laden air basically. Works a treat, also with generators as well-silences their exhaust as well as a side benefit. You can cook food and heat water on the radiator near where the exhaust from the diesel heater enters, it can get 400°f. Also it's a heat battery due to its large mass, and retains value as scrap, although i'm on winter #3 of heating my garage with a diesel heater hooked to a steam radiator with zero issues over thousands of hours of operation.

Love your content! I’m going to grab one or two of these.

I’ve enjoyed one of these awhile. It doesn’t quickly heat a very small space, but it is fun and nice.

I'm 62 years old and have spent my life in the electrical and mechanical trades. I don't think I've ever seen a diesel heater like the one in the video. While the video was playing, I went to Amazon and put one in my shopping cart. Second thing I learned, is the "Anderson" connector. I've seen them, used them, but never knew the proper name for them. That's why I watch videos like yours. You can still teach old dogs new things. Thanks!

I Just got one like it. So happy to see your video thanks

very impressive glad to hear jack and his team did well. God Bless! We need bight young mind going forward.

Awesome video content Cody. Thanks for the tip.

Good one! Thank you!

My buddy got rid of the kerosene heater in the shop and got one of these. It's a small workshop where we meet for fellowship. Now I don't stink and have a headache when I get home. Works great and I'm in the far North where below zero is common. Great video.

I've had one for 4 years, no issues, no regrets.

Much love brother. I stay warm in my sprinter van with me just like it. Love it. Great backup for the wood stove.

Thanks for the review very insightful

Cody: If/when you do a followup, don't forget to mention the importance of maintenance. People I know with these swear by them but do say you have to clean them extremely regularly to prevent soot buildup in the chamber and exhaust line that can lead to operation or ventilation failure (so when they're camping they check/clean the exhaust line daily for obstructions.) People who are used to propane, kerosene, or white gas heaters might not really understand how...less clean...burning diesel can be.

Ověniji many things about you but your sense of humor or the way you can deliberately provoke people (two watches on one hand) is great.....More people like you and your family.

Been thinking about one of these for my garage, Merry Christmas.

Well done Jack!

Living in Iowa a Snap-on box makes sense. They are made right here in Iowa so I see it im supporting local jobs

I might have to get one of those. Seems rather quiet, too. Thanks Cody. Great video.

Thank you for the video.

I'm currently in the midst of setting up one of these units. I encountered a minor issue with my portable battery, which has a 10-amp power protection feature that activates during startup, as the unit seems to draw slightly more than 10 amps initially. To resolve this, I've switched to using an AC to DC converter connected to a backup battery for power. As an alternative, I'm considering the use of an affordable AGM battery connected to a charger for portability. It's also important to note that these units are sensitive to power interruptions and can be damaged if they lose power abruptly without a proper shutdown. To help with the transfer of diesel into these tanks, I've bought a battery-operated pump that screws into the lid of my gas can.

Congrats to your son 🎉

Cool! I just bought a similar unit, came in on Saturday.

Love your work! Autistic tasmanian diy guy and I'm so stoked for your kid in the debate! Putting a diesel heater in a van and your vid was the first and last good one! Cheers appreciate it 👍💫

I use one almost the same understeer Vevor brand to heat my 5x8 cargo conversion trailer. Keeps me more than warm at deer camp and ice fishing in Michigan.

Pro-Tip I use my jump pack to start one of these 12v diesel heaters to warm my garage. I piggy back a 12v battery charger in parallel to keep jump pack from being completely discharged. It does consume a reasonable amount of amperage of on overnight..

I have a webasto at my van and is wonderful for these winter mornings

Appreciate this video, that being said the time has come for another axe video.

I just bought one a month ago... I love mine

East coast man approved ! good videos ! Thanks

Perfect cat cameo at the end!

I agree that snap-on boxes are great, however. I've had my Milwaukee box in a machine shop for 4 years, moved it in box trucks, trailers, pickup trucks, and lifted it it to a second level with a forklift. It looks as good as new. Of course its important to take care of it

I’ve used one for 2 winters now in one of my buildings and have been very pleased with it. Heats up pretty quick and doesn’t use much fuel.

The Milwaukee 12v soldering iron is a game changer! I highly recommend adding that to your electrical kit!

You are really a Master. Thanks

Tip jerry cans on their side, cap side up, and they don't glug.

I just learned about these. Have one in my Amazon cart for a greenhouse we are building.

Very interesting heater. Thanks for the review.

I use this setup in my roof tent up in the pnw, a tank lasts all weekend, works great.

Thanks Cody

I get mine in a couple days. What a coincidence I find this video.

These are the videos I miss. The old wranglerstar reviews!!!

Great video ! Good to have you back. Battery charger usually senses voltage on the battery. Without it I don’t think these smart chargers will turn on.

in truth here for the cat chilling near the fire. also day dreaming of having a shop like this one day.

I just saw Joe from Joe and Zach Survival/Northern Seclusion installed that exact one in their tent in northern Minnesota, he said it actually worked really well so far. It warmed the whole back of the tent where the wood stove doesn't really do to well. Interested to see how it does for your tent. Might suggest it to my bro-in-law in NH for his garage/shop. His heater doesn't do too well in there.

Cool video and interesting unit.

Great video, I run them 24hours a day all winter diesel fuel has a waxy substance in it and it slows down the fuel pump so the fix for this is diesel kleen octane booster I took a heater apart I been running all winter and it was perfectly clean, last winter was a challenge it got dirty in burning chamber, fuel injector cleaner works pretty good but not like diesel kleen,Have a great day.

I saw another video by someone using, I think the same one, set up in his garage, he had it set up mounted on the wall and venting outside, I'll have to see if I can find that one again.

Installed one of these in a camper van. They produce an incredible amount of heat. Interested to see how it does with a larger space.

Awesome… thanks buddy

The exhaust out outs the most heat, dont over wrap it, but do duct theexhust out side but longer the exhaust pipe the more heat you can reap

Congratulations Jack

I have one and think it works good for what it does, I also put a copper heater core with a fan on the exhaust side to utilize that heat before it goes through the wall

The "prime the fuel" editing was great and funny

Like that dalahäst and välkommen sign !

Great video

outstanding❗ thanks 👍

Don’t use a charger. You need a battery always. So if you loose power it can do shutdown sequence. Very very important!! Use a small battery and a trickle charger

Great video & info, thank you. 👍🏼 ♦️MERRY CHRISTMAS!!♦️

A small spring type deal with the fuel line through it, the ID of spring sleeve almost the same as OD of fuel line would stop it kinking. And keep the fresh air intake, inside so you get more heat rather than introducing frigid air. Folks also run the exhaust through a heat exchanger.

Snap on boxes are awesome ! I also got mine on the secondary market….but HF Home Depot. All got decent boxes for the price. You do you man get a box like real men

I REALLY need to organize my shop.

I'm actually using one in my renovated, full renovation 1979 Corsair camper, I actually extended the tank with PVC so I can fill up outside. I got mine from vevor.

im disappointed Cody isnt wearing 2 watches on each wrist. LOL

Looking forward to the next video of you leaving it running over night just to see the temp In garage
