Today we're testing out a diesel air heater by a company called MaxPeedingRods! Diesel air heaters are an efficient way to heat large tents and caravans, using 12v power to run the fan but diesel for the heating.

    If you leave the heater running over night (as I do with mine) the air duct can get very very hot. I made a small baffle of sorts out of a length of PVC pipe with gutter down pipe connector at either end to centre the duct through your PVC pipe. This helps act as a barrier between your extremely hot duct and your flammable tent material. A CO2 alarm from Bunnings will also give you peace of mind.

    People should understand how a heat exchanger works. By leaving the heat intake open to the outside world, you "could" be drawing Exhaust gasses into the tent. If you piped the air intake into the tent, it would be safer. 2 hoses are for burning, (the small ones) 2 are for heat. ( The large ones) The 2 should never meet. Good review though.

    I got mine from ebay for $130. They are a great unit but the pump is very noisy - fan as expected is noisy. The instructions are crap and no where does it tell you which is the burner inlet and outlet so can be connected the wrong way around. You need to have the actual intake for the heater side in the tent to improve efficiency so it does not have to heat cold outside air but on that model you have to get extras for that - the way you had the heater setup you could suck carbon monoxide from the exhaust into the tent. There are extensions available for $20 which combined with the secondary intake in the tent will make it safer. A great unit but precautions are needed to not gas yourself in the tent.

    Hi there I’ve watched a lot of videos on this product, and other versions!! No body has mentioned how loud it is? You obviously had it just outside the tent and it did seem quiet. Did you install the muffler? I couldn’t see it! Many thanks

    Hi Hayeso, this model didn't come with a muffler but we found it very quiet after the initial startup (about 2-3 minutes). You could easily sleep with it close by, quite similar to a small electric fan with a slight ticking noise of the fuel pump. 🙂

    That flex pipe gets to 350+degrees F during operation. The radiant heat coming off that pipe is a hazard and can melt things like the fuel line or set fire to what the unit sits on.

    @@jimholmes2555 I made a test stand of 2x4's on their sides to keep it off the ground. I bored a hole in one 2x4 and rolled up a piece of aluminum flashing and ran the exhaust pipe through. The pipe has header wrap on it. We used it to heat a rustic cabin by the ocean for 3 days and had a home built lithium battery pack to supply the power. TI use the non taxed red diesel to run it. So far, so good!

    Hi, the use time cannot be confirmed uniformly, which is related to the use frequency and the adjusted power. The fuel tank is 5L, and the diesel heater fuel consumption(L/h) is 0.14-0.64L/H.

    Thanks Kent! We ran the unit for half an hour and found the outlet hose didn't get too hot at all (certainly warm to touch but not hot enough to cause problems). I can't say for sure how it would go after extended periods longer than half an hour, but I suspect it would be fine. 🙂

    Hi mate, there was a bit of a smell during the initial startup while the exhaust was smoking (I think I over primed it), but once that had passed after a few mins there was hardly any smell from the unit. 👍

    Hi Frank, I'd definitely recommend keeping a window or vent open to allow the air to pass through - we had both roof vents open during use. Regarding the wrinkles, I think that's because our tent is extremely old. 😂
