It’s been a while since you did this, but from my experience with the same type of van with the vinyl stone guard on the front is watch that like a hawk man. As soon as it gets a hole in it get rid of it. There’s padding under it that will wick moisture and it will find its way behind the metal into the wood frame. As the vinyl ages it will pull away from the sealing compound on it and again moisture will get in. I’d replace the front where the vinyl is with checker plate. And the best stuff I’ve found to sealing edges, j mould, etc is bostik v4. Pure silicone that has huge flex and as it’s not an adhesive if you want to remove the j mould for maintenance reasons it’s a whole lot easier.

And thought this is never gonna be the problem but I’ll fire it up for the last time before I launch it in too a nearby rubbish tip , guess what bingo pump started ticking and has never stopped works fine and display started working , would you have thought that tiny bit of fuel getting in the connector would cause such misery lol 😃

My controller that looks identical has an Alpine mode, which slows pump to make fuel-air mix leaner, but no explicit control over pump rate in Hz, nor means to control rate and fan speed rate range. It expresses "manual mode" as fixed heat levels H1, H2, ..., not in Hz. Please post video as my control does not seem to suit severe elevation changes.

Glad you liked it!
Is it normal when you start heater for the first time from new theres like a burning smell coming from it an hour later still. It's not really bad, but it's there. Thanks
Oh yes that's normal. I should have mentioned that in the video. I freaked out too with the odd burning smell. Don't worry 2nd or third time you use it is completely gone
@berko79 Many thanks for that buddy. Yes, it's already away. Im very impressed with it so far. 👌👍
@berko79 Hello again. I have an error E 2 coming up with flashing battery on heater LCD screen
@@TmanMetal oh wow I've never had that one. It's apparently overvoltage or no flame. Is your power source or battery higher than 14v? Otherwise no flame can mean you need to bleed air or the lines(prime the pump again) and might mean you have a air leak in your fuel lines.
@berko79 Ive it sorted ok thanks buddy. It was all down to a live wire being not thick enough core which messed with the voltage. All running fine again pheeew. ❤️👌👍
Does anyone know how to factory reset this controller? My friend changed pin number and forgot it. He also changed fans RPM and now his heater does not work properly. Thanks for any advice.
I'm actually not sure how you change the PIN. Have you tried 1688 and 9009?
@@berko79 Thanks. 1688 was the stock pin, but my friend changed it. It is the last option in the settings menu.
Mine won’t work by doing that nothing at all happens
Screen lit up? does it flash on when you push on?
@@berko79 sorry about late reply , I figured out what was wrong isn’t it always the way was such a simple error , I followed instructions on how too prime the fuel too the heater I had done this many times with older style one so was slightly different for the blue facia control but just wouldn’t function I got fed up and pressed everything in sight and still nothing only came on and off fuel was there but not pumping 🤔 so I changed the pump from my old one that definitely did used to work , but still nothing on screen and wouldn’t pump , jeez I thought this is difficult to solve I even changed over the control from my older style one even changed over the brain I tried everything, I sat there dejected for another 30 minuets I had spend all day till late at night baffled then I noticed where I had been disconnecting the fuel pipes on the pump I had leaked tiny amounts of fuel on too the top of the black connector that plugs in to top of fuel pump , so I thought I’ll blow on it like mad kinda drying it out ? And thought this is never gonna be the problem but I’ll fire it up for the last time before I launch it in too a nearby rubbish tip , guess what bingo pump started ticking and has never stopped works fine and display started working , would you have thought that tiny bit of fuel getting in the connector would cause such misery lol 😃
@@berko79 yes screen always lites up but buttons wouldn’t function ie nothing happening when pressing any , but as you can see I solved the problem at last !!
Can you just wire in a switch? To power it off? From the power source? I'm currently fitting one of these. Maybe I'll fit a switch.
Yes you can just write a switch on the power or ground wire. You will still need to power it off using the controller as it goes through a routine which cools the heater down (basically runs is with just the fan on for a few minutes until it's a safe temperature)
@@berko79 ah yes, my old Florida used to do that cool down. - So if I put a switch on the ground of controller it will still do cool down if I power off the controller? Is it a bad drain? I've got 200ah leisure
@@richardd8352 should be zero drain if you switch the negative. The biggest drain on the heaters is the startup when there for plug is heated which is about 15 amps at 12v. Once the heater is running it drops to a very small draw on the battery.
@@berko79Thanks for the reply. Out of interest - how much of a drain is the controller without a switch? - Are we talking a dead battery in days/ weeks / months? Roughly.
@@richardd8352 oh no that's really really small. You'd get months I'd say from a big battery like yours. The issue is the screen stays on and fades. It gets so bad you can't read it and that's the reason you want to unplug or switch the heater
You have minimum pump frequency set to 1,2 (factory settings screen). Can you go to this while heating? Mine go to 1,7Hz regardless what is set as factory limit
Yeah I can go down to 1.2 when heating. Weird they are all set up differently.
Partially solved. The controller can't select limit values when Hertz span is too big for it. When I set 1,2 - 3,3 span, then can use whole range. When go higher to 4,4, selectable lower value is 1,7.
SORRY cuz I'm pretty sure you posted this but my head is spinning from looking into this subject... please point to guidance on how to use CO tester or other tools to determine good fuel mix. SORRY I found answers to all that follows comments below -- RIF... My controller that looks identical has an Alpine mode, which slows pump to make fuel-air mix leaner, but no explicit control over pump rate in Hz, nor means to control rate and fan speed rate range. It expresses "manual mode" as fixed heat levels H1, H2, ..., not in Hz. Please post video as my control does not seem to suit severe elevation changes. See New Blue LCD screen Vevor Chinese Diesel heater. Mine is not a Vevor fwiw.
You didnt say how to turn it off? When it's doing a cycle of priming the fuel line and it gets to the machine how do you stop it flooding the machine?
Yeah sorry about that, and i cant easily add it. It does involve just pressing the power button (same one you push to turn it on) and then wait for the shutdown routine to complete (takes a couple of minutes to make sure its cool)
Hi I got the same taps as you, however I couldn't unscrew the spindle off the rest of the bottom part as you show at 2.13. Mine doesn't just screw off as yours. How do I do it ??
Did you have any luck? sometimes it looks like they dont come apart but you can undo it - if it doesnt even have a spanner spot at all you may need to replace the whole thing back to the pipe unfortunately.
I have one on my heater and it works great
Yeah I am beginning to think this is the pick of the bunch to be honest. Just simple and works!
Great
I followed the instructions but can't get the remote to pair
it might be paired already? have you confirmed its got a battery in the remote? Like it lights up ok I assume
do you know how to change the language from chinese to english on the remote control? I am not sure what happened but somehow it switched to chinese after years of use.
press and hold ok for about 10 secs. once you let go it should go back to english
Thanks back to english!!@@berko79
Hey Berko 👋🏼 Great to see you 😉 Nice vid. Might have to check these things out 👍😎🦆
Hey Duck, hows things going? miss the old BOE premieres, hopefully they'll do a vid soon - thanks for checking out the vid. Yeah the unit has been doing pretty well and a good option if you are building a camper/caravan or adding it to an existing van. Cheers Berko
Hi , do you know how to change the password? Because I don’t no what I press end now I can’t in to menu or change password
I dont think its possible to change the passcode. It should be either 1688 or 9009.
