Thanks for the video. Was helpful when pulling mine apart. Mine was failing to start after 2 years and had a fault code for "Ignition" I took mine apart thinking it would probably be sooted up as well. Turns out it was spotless I replaced the Glow Plug (Purchased from Aliexpress) and away it went. Ours is installed in an out building running on solar power with 24Volt Batteries. We use it every day and we run ours quite high. As a suggestion for tank filling, I installed my tank on a TV Swing arm wall bracket which allows you to swing it away from the wall and not have to worry about spilling diesel. I highly recommend these little heaters.

I found an old receipt for a wire break repair a new gasket and a clean out for my eberspacher diesel heater, it was £120.00, the price of a new Chinese copy. It was done well before I purchased the van. Now I will be able to service it myself, cheers! I also have two dogs and hairs accumulate very quickly. I'm thinking of making a large filter out of a large stainless mesh strainer that I can remove and clean but have fitted when dogs are in the van to stop hairs from gathering and getting sucked into the fan wearing it out potentially.

@@TheBoondockers Keep an eye on fuel usage for me please, if you don't mind. Just to compare the difference. Heating the same air repeatedly is what makes them efficient plus gives the thermostat a true reading of van temps so it can reliably keep it regulated. Sucking cold air in constantly making the heater work on max constantly may help with soot but burn it out quicker. Mell has done similar but unless he tests fuel efficiency, moisture readings and thermostatic function and compares with normal fitting then it's not a true comparison and I will not be convinced. You on the other hand have it done correctly so taking notes plus observations before and after the change over would be more reliable if you do it right with an unbiased approach. Smoke tests don't really prove much. One night I left my hygrometer outside for an hour and it read over 90% moisture in the air, my van read less than 80% if I can remember right and it had no heating on, with heating on it dropped to 55% quickly so why would i want to bring in above 90% moisture from outside continuously as I really do think it's counter productive? Yours and Mells are not fully outside the van but even so it will cause a slight vacuum and pull it through the seals or any vents if there is any. This set up in dry warm weather would probably fine but in that weather I like to open windows. An old saying, don't open your windows on a days you would not hang your washing out to dry. I think it's fine though lol to let cooker, bath or shower steam out plus excessive heat. Hot air can hold more moisture so a 10 min opening of a window a few times a day to let this moisture laden air out is good but no need to over do it. Here's the fitting instructions for an eberspacher. www.butlertechnik.com/downloads/Eberspacher_Airtronic_D2_Technical_Manual.pdf Read: 4 Operation and function. And here's some more handy info for a 2.2kw heather to give you an idea. I hope some of this info may be useful to you guys. Automatic settings Boost High Med Low Standby. Heat output 2200 1800 1200 850 0 watts. Fuel consumption 0.28 0.23 0.15 0.10 0 l/hr.

Thanks buddy It was a contoller problem in the end all sorted now and been running it hard for last couple of months😉

Thanks for the video. Same thing happened to mine after only using it a few days. I think a few things I am going to change. First I am going to change how my air intake and exhaust are routed to make them have less bends so the air flows easier, I heard if there is a lot of bends this makes the machine work harder for air and therefore not burn as clean. I think the pipes are too narrow in design and constrict air flow, so making them as short as possible and less bends is best. I need to do a little mix of kerosene in the fuel to make up for the altitude since I am in Denver and the air is thinner here. Then the other advice about changing the glow plug and running it on high seem helpful and since I am in a small van so I run on low settings, I will take the advice below and go into setting and put in password and change the fan to the lowest it'll go, and set the minimum fuel to around 1.4hz 1.6hz. I have also very short fuel line in my set up so I do not need a lot of hertz. Finally I have not taken mine apart yet to clean it, but looking at the video I bet after wire bushing it down one could spay some carburetor cleaner in there to remove more soot. At the same time maybe just burning it on high will do the same thing.

At the beginning of each run do it at the high setting, and in 10 minutes it should stop smoking that's because it's purging out the chamber..

Go in settings, enter the password and change the fan to the lowest it'll go, and set the minimum fuel to around 1.4hz 1.6hz. That'll keep the unit right up to temp even on low. Should keep it nice and clean inside

Need around 40 BTU's per square foot of space you want to heat. The smaller one 2KW (6,000 BTU's) would be good for around 150 square feet (if insulated). Most vans are only going to be around 110 square feet or less so the larger ones would have very short run times and the burn chamber will soot up and you will have to take it apart to clean it. Need to size what you want to heat up so it works properly. If you put one that is too big for your van or camper it will soot up. Ones that are too big for where you are using it will shut off to fast before the burn chamber can get good and hot to burn off any soot.

Very nice and informative video thank you. I am looking at getting one of these heaters to heat my workshop (10 yards x 4 yards) and just wonder if it will produce enough heat if I get he 8KW version? (difficult to answer as building materials and insulation makes a huge difference, but I am just looking for a rough pointer really). I am not looking at achieving living room temperature, but during the frosty days of the winter it would be nice to run a fairly simple heating system like this one just to bring the temperature up to maybe 10-15 C. So far I have used a 5KW kerosene burner/heater but being a flue-less heater I get problems with condensation, which in time leads to rust on tools etc. Any advice will be highly appreciated mate.

You really should replace the internal gasket in the burn chamber when resembling the heater. You can just see the inner gasket in place at 8:30. He used a steel wire brush to scrape out the chamber so unless he removed the gasket, here is a likelihood that it was damaged during this process. Any gas leak through a torn gasket could have fatal consequences.

@@TheBoondockers If I may put in my $0.02 worth, I've been using these little heaters for about three years now in sometimes sub-0 temps. I have two of them installed in my RV for remote job locations. I get great results cleaning mine by running pure Jet-B fuel through them for about 15-20 minutes every few weeks or so if used on a low setting for long periods. Jet B is a naphtha-kerosene fuel. A blend of approximately 30% kerosene and 70% gasoline. But be warned, it can turn the exhaust cherry-red, so don't burn it for a long time and don't walk away from it. It will clean the burn chamber up like new. It's available here in the US, and on my job pretty much unlimited. Not sure if you can get it in the UK? Great video! Wow! That was a lot of soot! Sorry for the novel. Greetings from Alaska.

Junk heaters.. Mine lasted two days and smoke started coming out the air intake. Complete junk

Ok Barrie is cool and looks like we are using cheap FUEL Then they will Carbonise .i tend to use hi grade v power diesel or BP Ultimate . These two fuel's will reduce the carbon emissions on to the Heat sinks using cack fuel will mess them up faster than you realise Yes you can fit the German Glow plugs to them ADVISE YOU DO THIS if it's going to be running for long duration's i am a Commercial Rescue mechanic and i have two of these cheap shit copy's one is rated at 2kw the other is 5kw . truth be told the 5 kw does not pump out 5kw like claimed max i have seen on the out put is about 3.25 kw from it . Both units are now over 1000 hours run time and still work .but they are loud much louder than the German Counter parts take my advise spend the money buy the German Models . both units are on there second fuel pumps .Good luck .EGR cleaner is much better than Scrape the unit.
