Diesel heater

[movan]

Hi Joy, the free standing ones still need an exhaust and air inlet fitting ,plus the hot air outlet piping into your van.
They are not just a heater that you can just switch on. No disrespect but you need to be reasonably good at DIY. Even for the free standing ones. Personally I don't think they are for you. Xx

Thanks sunshine. That's what I needed to know. Appreciate it. Xx

No, I made an aluminium fuel tank that's fitted under our van as I run out diesel heater on home heating oil as it's cheaper than diesel.
Manic and I believe gus-lopez are feeding from their vehicle fuel tanks.

Thank you Two on Tour. Is it possible to send me photo of it if not too much trouble.

No I was going to do it at home when i returned in 2019 but never bothered. I have a 5 l tank under the bonnet inside the passenger wing.

My tank and its mounting bracket are bolted to the side of the rear chassis extension.
I made a covering for it to give it some protection if any stones or road debris is thrown up at it.

I fill the tank via a boat type filler mounted in the rear panel/bumper of our van.

Thanks funsters for very useful information. I have a 2016 Mobilvetta Kia P63 with a Truma gas heater. It works very well but I was in Leicestershire some months ago and I ran out of gas because the rubber washer must have fallen out of the connection when I was connecting the bottle. The local hardware shop charged me £93 for gas and bottle so my plan is to have the diesel heater as a backup.

I installed the Eberspacher systems to my old VeeDub and my Coaches many years ago (still might have a spare, unused, 3-5k unit in the back of the garage somewhere,) and their kits came with everything needed including an inline fuel pump in the, spliced in, connection to the vehicles diesel feed.
