Can you put a link to the Amazon UK store too? I've seen others do it so hopefully be worthwhile for you. Great video. Merry Christmas to you and the family.

I am also seeing some videos that you can run these off used motor oil just fine. People are even running it unfiltered, but I would likely filter it through an old pair of jeans I have seen people do for running it in their trucks when cut 50/50 with fresh fuel.

Used oil we just use a basic filter then drop in a little gas for a biodiesel viscosity and higher , cleaner burn. Dirtier the fuel more often you break it down, open it all up and give a good clean.

only one soldering iron that sounds like a weak link in the proho system remember two is one and one is none

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.

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❤✝️

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.

Merry Christmas friend.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been hoping and waiting for this video!

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

I love seeing how you set your boxes up

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

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

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

This video was an absolute masterpiece!

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 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 👍💫

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

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

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.

Great idea. I’m going to look into this battery method.

@sw5334

6 ай бұрын

You do need to do a few things to make it work. First I had to drop voltage from 18v to 12v with a 24->12 converter then cause you don’t want the heater to kill your lipo batteries I installed a little voltage thing that when the voltage drops to a preset level I have it turn the fuel pump off and when that happens the heater goes into shut down/cool down mode. This way protects the heater and batteries.

Holy cow! I love this guy!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

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

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

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..

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

Excellent video - very clear explanations. Thanks

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.

Love this video. Very informative.

This video is actually helpful thanks alot

Excellent breakdown and explanation.

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.

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

These are the videos I love by you Cody :)

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

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.

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.

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!

What I picked up from the endless videos: Always perform the shutdown sequence, it pulls 15 amps just for the first minute while heating the glow plug, and the 8kw make the same energy as the 5kw (Chinese marketing magic). Also some say there are hidden high efficiency features in hidden menus.

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

That was an awesome review !!

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

Perfect cat cameo at the end!

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

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.

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

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

Awesome video content Cody. Thanks for the tip.

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

Good one! Thank you!

Well done Jack!

Thanks for the review very insightful

Just to clarify something. A fuse protects the device. A breaker protects the wiring. Fuses are not meant to protect wiring

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

Congrats to your son 🎉

I enjoyed your bass playing in Primus.

The "prime the fuel" editing was great and funny

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

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.

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.

Thank you for the video.

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

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

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

East coast man approved ! good videos ! Thanks

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

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

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.

Congratulations Jack

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.

Very interesting heater. Thanks for the review.

You are really a Master. Thanks

Careful brothers. I haven't watched yet, and I'm a big Cody fan, so that counts for a lot with me..BUT.. My buddy has this identical one with a different brand label, and his had Numerous issues. I looked up his, and this one, and others that look identical, and the complaints are off the chart. I have learned the hard way to ignore the good reviews and to focus on the bad ones that actually tell the story..and I have learned that anything over a few % of #1 votes is reason to be skeptical if not leave alone..and even just his one here has 16% #1 votes! That's insane from my experience. I've been looking to buy one and have numerous tabs open trying to narrow down which one to get..I don't think this is the one, but I'll watch the video because I trust Cody immensely..just sayin', be careful.🤷‍♂

Some smart chargers (i believe that one Cody used has this option!) Can be switched to a constant output in order to run 12v things for testing. He just needed to turn his unit off and then hold the button down and it would be able to switch to a repair mode or a constant mode.

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

Thanks Cody

Cool video and interesting unit.

I'd be a little proud of my Snap On stuff, too... ..and the folks that are upset and tell to buy the lesser product... I'd guess they just don't know. Buy the best quality that you can. It is worth it.🙂

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
