Vevor Diesel Heater - Stay Warm on Your Winter Overland Trips! 

I'm a truck driver and have used these diesel heaters (most companies use the more expensive but modular Eberspacher brand, though they are all the exact same design) for years as a bunk/cab heater when the engine is off. They work absolutely great, right up until you have to clean the burn chamber out of all the soot because it won't light. The reason the startup time takes 3-5 minutes is because the fan blows for a few minutes to get fresh clean air inside the burn chamber while the glow plug heats up enough for the fuel pump to start pushing fuel into the burn chamber to cause initial ignition, which you can hear. Once it lights off, you're good to go. They CAN be very picky systems, but they are typically good for about 1000-ish hours before it needs a full service. One negative I am aware of is that during teardown service is that you absolutely WILL destroy the OEM gasket, which tends to be a low quality paper gasket, and you're left to either fabricate another one out of something better or order another OEM paper one. Pro tip, in a pinch, you CAN spray brake cleaner or starter fluid into the burn chamber via the AIR inlet to get a quick light if the glow plug isn't lighting the diesel fuel off and erroring out, which is usually due to soot clogging it and not a faulty glow plug. Just be a very conservative so as not to flood the burn chamber and cause a pressurized explosion, as it's about the size of a plum and will fill quickly. Do not use an external ignition source. Also, brake cleaner can be used to flush most soot out, just spray it in via the FUEL inlet and use pressurized air to blow through the FUEL inlet directly into the burn chamber, while plugging the air inlet to prevent backflow, the black soot liquid will flush out via the exhaust pipe. I hope this little bit of info helps out at some point.

The fix for the overheat is to use a 4 " hose with a very small section of 3 " so you can mount it to the outlet. That length of 3 " hose has proven to be to restrictive. Try this and I think you will be happy.

Thank you for an honest review

Since you lengthen the three-inch tube, it's getting too much back pressure. once you put a 4-inch tube with a reducing Coller from 3 inch to 4 inch it should run like a champ. Another thing to do is put a tether off of the exterior of your tent so the 90-degree bend is gradual once it enters your tent. good luck and cheers!

Great honest review. Appreciate it!

For he price .. even though its finicky.. still Worth it. I had to learn some tips.

Thanks for sharing!

One safety note: make sure the tank is empty or the cap is really tight before traveling with fuel on a bumpy road. I had fuel leak out around the cap on a particularly rough journey. I have that same heater that I just got about a month ago. I’ve used a Wave 3 or buddy heater before so this season will be great with dry forced air heat. I’m setting mine up in a similar fashion to you except mine goes through a canopy window instead of up to a tent so I have a lot less hose for it to push through. The hose that comes with it is definitely too short. I actually liked it that it was not wired with a plug cause I set mine up with an XT60 plug for my fuse box. I did the initial test run to make sure it works then a couple weeks later ran it for a couple hours to field test it. It works great. I got a little bit of smoke on start up but it seems to burn really clean once it’s going. I’m hoping to test it out over night this coming week in my first snow camp of this season.

Used my Vevor for the first time last weekend. Worked great! So how much louder is it without the muffler?

GREAT VIDEO. Been using my Vevor heater for a couple years now it’s never failed me. Also it’ll overheat and shut off if the settings are just too hot for the conditions(not cold enough yet).

Good review, thx

Thanks for your video, considering buying one of these and I would like to see how it holds up. So it sometime in the future maybe in the spring it would be nice to get your opinion of the unit.😎👍

Awesome video.. what’s the brand of your tire table??

Hot stuff, coming through!

There is only a large power draw on startup shutdown, rest of the time it only draws a few volts

How do you keep the unit dry when it’s raining or snowing with it’s mounted on your tire? Also was curious how you are running the wires to your eco-flow? Cheers.

What's the tire mount the unit is sitting on?

Thanks for an awesome and honest review! One question, what is the shelf unit you have on the tire and where can I get one?

Hey bro, can you put the links for the tire table thing and the hose you're using? Thanks - love the content !

3” hose is the problem with long lengths, causes overheating. Need to use 4”

Great review, I have an older version of this one and have ran mine for several hours but still have a bad smell when running it to my tent. What eco flow do you use?

So it’s plugged into your rig by cigarette lighter, if ran all night it would not drain your battery dead?

So since the bronco has a removable top does it get really cold in winter when you're driving? Or do you feel cold air seeping through?

Is it blue tooth

Needs an extra fan to help push air !!

Tx for great vid. Could you tell me where are cables to ecoflow?... on all reviews of those heaters I never saw electric cables attachments to power stations in a car. I just bought one and I wonder how to connect it.

Do you have to run the heater couple hours every time before you put the hose inside the tent ?

You need a 4 inch hose

Download, even print the error codes... I spent 2 nights in the Ohoco forest in 24* temps. I reached out via Zoleo Sat device to family to run the trouble code. My youngest sister saved us with her reply. The Bluetooth FOB... Buy 15' of wire and the manual knob controller run it up to the RTT. the knb is also illuminated. Don't say I didn't tell you.

Any issues with rain?

Where did you get the tire step from?

Where can I get one of those tire racks?

You were here who asked and another guy about heater me, Jake, Derek, Michael cause now quiz for a quiz about that guy healer

I really think these things are just the luck of the draw. Mine ran great for 12 hours with a sharp bend int the hose as it left the unit.

The issue I have with this gear is, if I'm heading out into the quiet woods, and the quiet woods get even quieter at night when I'm going to presumably want to run the heater, why would I want to pollute the environment with the sound of a periodically running diesel engine?

When a company is deceitful or evasive in the least, even if the overall product is a good one, I'll take a pass. Cutting corners to widen the profit margin is not a long-term profitable way to market an otherwise good product.
