Error 3 is a dead battery ,not enough to pull 9 or 10 amps at start up.... ..Always fuse the hot wire near the battery as there totally unprotected..I'd say your battery has failed especially seeing how it was charging so fast..

If you could fit a coil to the exhaust inside and out at the top with the bottle 3/4 filled with sand it would be far better. This is because the sand has a far higher specific heat capacity. Great idea!

How much fuel does it use and could red diesel be used? Many thanks

yes i have fitted three of these inside large storage boxes placed outside my house the inlet and outlet pipes actually go through the exterior walls next to the controller in the outside boxes i have large fuel tanks the exhaust and combustion pipes vent to the outside of the boxes completely seperate from the interier they have been very efficient got us through the winter!

Love the idea, I purchased one last year and never fitted it. It's what the insurance would say to wiggle out of a claim even if unrelated.

Love your videos, is it possible to put one of these on a timer so it will kick in just like central heating?

Just one thought at present, I would without a doubt put a cover over the screws that take the power from the wall to the power supply for safety reasons, those fixing screws look open and easily touched which as you know would give a serious jolt of 240 volts.

Hi Andy,your air intake for the burner would be better from the cooler garage air, the colder the air the more dense so it contains more oxygen to help the burn, same principle as an intercooler on an engine.

I would be concerned by taking the combustion air from the house. I would prefer keeping the combustion and heated air flows separate. The rest of the system is excellent.

Mint 👌🏻 Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

This can be simplified considerably. Run the exhaust pipe completely through the bottom of the radiator from right to left. Seal the radiator after filling with water. There will be no need for a pump or tank, and will cause little to no restriction to the exhaust. The heat will heat the water and circulate happily inside the radiator on its own, as it does in the oil filled electric radiators.

Not better, but safer - you need to cover that 240v stuff, no bueno. 12v section is fine. I'd stick half a project box over the PSU, with a grip/grommet for the 240v cable. ATM that's dangerous as.

Plumber says if exhaust more than 4ft long it can cause the fuel not to burn cleanly is that true have you tested for co2 ?

The 5 button diesel heater controller, with the spanner wrench in the upper left corner, does anyone know how to turn the alpine mode on and off? Please help

How about making a heat exchanger with the flexible exhaust pipe, and put a box fan behind the exhaust pipe heat exchanger. Bend the exhaust pipe in a zig zag ,from top to bottom, pipe in exhaust from the top and them out the bottom ,like the radiator you had and put a box fan behind to blow the heat into the room .

Hi Andy can’t find the link for the switcher, can you help 👍

These dont work on every machine ive tested some and the machine doesnt go into cool down either it just switches off as the relay on them doesnt switch till the voltage drops to around 10v from the mains power supply so there slow switching which isnt quick enough on alot of heater .also there only 10amp max most heaters can draw over the 10 amps on start up i dont know if they do a higher amp one not looked .🤔

use a cast iron radiator

How does the cost work out compared to other heating sources like electric or gas?

You didn't link the water pump. And why aren't you still using the rad on your system?

Stop smacking your damn lips

I'm curious as to what your average winter temperature is and roughly how many square feet you're heating?

I run mine from solar .. same power supply as you have but runs from inverter connected to 4 x 100ah lithium batteries. So I don't have a problem if mains power grid drops out. My Hcalory is set in the fire place with exhaust 10ft up the old chimney. Works a treat. Wake up pick my phone up press heater on from bluetooth house is warm when I get up. I've followed Andy for a long time now I purchased my heater on the back of seeing his vlogs. Very useful 👌 👍

Good man, this is exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks

What is hoteaaaa?

2:00 I have to admit, I saw the exposed 230 volt electrical connections and my jaw hit the floor! Please, please put the cover on! Edit: I’d definitely put a thick plastic splash cover on the wall behind, above and below the heater body, accidents can and will happen, you don’t want wall panels and wall joists having diesel contamination.

can we see the other side in the hallway please - loving all the diesel heater videos

Hi Andy , My set up is much the same as yours ,exept that my heater is in the laundry area with the exhaust through a radiator ,so that almost all of the heat stays in the house.

I have put some high temperature insulation underneath the mother board , in order to prevent some of the heat transfer. Am hoping this will extend the mother boards life span .by keeping its temperature down.

Hi Andy Would you mind telling me who is your fuel supplier is .I am not a million miles from you ,and cant find any fuel at that price ,.many thanks.

Critical thinking error here is that sand has a lower specific heat than water; about 5,2 times lower. As the exhaust doesn’t get hot enough to make sand a useful thermal storage medium, you can better make a water based system. Water can go up to 100 degrees unpressurised so to get the same energy density you’d need to heat the sand to 520 degrees. Of course this would make the system slightly more complicated as you would need a pressure release valve. Nevertheless cool build to improve on energy efficiency!

I have the same. Power converter that you have. And the diesel heater. I was wondering, do you know how to hook up a battery to that? As well having it plugged in.

Unfortunately, they don't switch over and keep running. They put you into a safety shut down mode thus protecting your machine, you have to restart on your battery manually..

All they do is shut down your machine safety, as the pump has to be restated.

is this about a heater or a battery charger ? bloddy click bait fool.

Wow, we pay around 4 pounds for kerosene in Sweden 😮

I’m curious…. What kind of heat output do you think you are getting on the low setting? I wonder how you can really heat a whole house or even a room with this? I bought one for my caravan. I found the lowest setting wasn’t really low enough…. Pretty sure it used a lot more than 100ml / Hr 🤔🤔

Did you have to convert your diesel heater to run off Kerosene or can you use kerosene straight off?

It might be cheap but what do you do about the smell?

It looks good but you have a trap on the exhaust between the heater and radiator id either place the heater higher or further from the radiator to straighten the pipe or shorten the pipe.

where did you buy kerosene? I could not find in my area Guildford?

If you feel like having a home in a country that doesn't hate you and want your elderly family to die of cold, consider moving to the US.

Hi Andy, looking at the black box that you house the heater in, where does it get the air from to blow over the heat exchanger? I couldn’t see any side vents in the box and there’s non in the lid of the box either.

How are you keeping your battery toped up on charge. lets say it sitting on standby for 2 weeks suddenly you get a power cut, how can you be sure the battery is fully charged to run it unless you check your battery each day to se if it needs charged or am i missing something. Genuine question

My delongi oil filled radiater selledcost 15p a hour to heat one room

What's the temperature in the room

I heard u say thats on lowest setting but have u put it on apline mode as thats even lower setting

Excellent find will be getting one today

How does it compare to oil central heating?
