Jacinda, Mandela and the Anti-Mandate Protesters
มุมมอง 3992 ปีที่แล้ว
Jacinda once stated that Nelson Mandela was an icon of the fight for equality, freedom and human rights. Yet Nelson Mandela was the founder of a terrorist group whose bombings killed many. He was inspired to violence by his government's violent response to protests. If the government cannot acknowledge its protesters, how will the people express themselves? Are we at risk of introducing terrori...

    That was awesome, and cleared up many questions that I've had,I don't own one yet but I am considering buying one! What brand is best? Are Chinese diesel heaters good ? Also my vehicle runs on petroleum/gasoline is that better or worse than diesel? Thx EDGE

    Thanks! This also worked for mine (I was doing all the same things wrong too). But you forgot to mention that EVERYTHING will be black with soot after you complete this cleaning job. Your clothes, your gloves / hands, your tools, your work space. Do this in clothes you no longer want. Over a tarp. With a white garbage bag (so you can see the soot). And have lot of shop rags handy. Don't touch your mom's couch after.

    Hi, I really enjoyed watching your video but I do have a question. On the heaters I have, after about 90 seconds the fuel pump starts and if monitoring from an app, the combustion temperature will rise. After about 4 minutes the glowplug will turn off. I have one heater that on many occasions the glow plug icon comes on and the glow plug draws power however the fuel pump never starts. On every occasion I have just powered off the unit, then back on and it has started correctly. My question is what tells the fuel pump to start? If it were a timer, I'm sure it would always start. If it is temperature, where does the heat come from apart from the heat of the glowplug? On a new heater or a serviced one, there will be no residual fuel in the combustion chamber and only the powered up glowplug, so what starts the combustion process? As I stated earlier if it were a timer, I'm sure it would always be a consistent start. The other strange thing is there is no error codes. It just sits there with the glow plug powered up for as long as I leave it. Other types of heater would use a pilot light that would operate a thermocouple and that is what starts the main gas valve (In the case of a boiler), but what starts the fuel pump on these heaters? Your animation shows the diesel going onto the hot mesh causes combustion, but if the pump is not running, where does the diesel come from? Thanks.

    If you install a diesel heater to draw in outside air instead of recirculating the air, you’re running the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. This is because the combustion exhaust can get drawn into the cabin air suction duct.

    Hey thanks for your video. It got down to 10 degrees and my heater started blowing white heavy smoke. I watched your video and found out that my combination air intake was outstanding drawing ice cold air. I moved the pipe inlet to get inside air and the smoking completely stopped. Thanks for the great advice. I’m going to connect a 4” pipe to my heater air inlet pipe and connect it to the inside of my house. I think that will help if I supply preheated air instead of the 10 degree outside air. I haven’t seen anyone recommend that. Thanks again.

    Cheech and Chong burn mode. This genuinely is hilarious. Do you really have your exhaust pointing up? - Guess what? rain can go in also. Might as well put a funnel on it. 😂😂 Why oh why lol? Terrible idea. The boiling water in the exhaust - tragic. If you didn't use common sense then at least use the instructions. - Exhausts must point or bend downwards with the total bends not exceeding 270° - at least drill a drain hole in exhaust. And btw ALL exhausts condense. So running downward is best for heater health.

    My two cents, why not mount the heater inside with a carbon monoxide detector? Many camper people mount the diesel heater inside

    I have lots of soot and smoke with a nearly new gasoline unit. I think it might just be the extreme arctic temperature, I'll try again later in the winter when it's a bit warmer..

    • @richardd8352
      @richardd8352 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      When it's warmer lol. 😂 It's a heater, it's made for arctic conditions Gasoline? Not diesel? If you are in the Arctic or are using the heater where the air for combustion is lower at altitude. You can switch the heater to 'alpine mode' .

    • @edwardmcdermott9948

      How does the gasoline run? What brand of heater? Will premium fuels keep unit carbon free?

    • @ieism1
      @ieism1 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @richardd8352 It was minus 35Celcius. As soon as it was back to normal freezing temps the heater worked again. I guess the fuel gets too thick? I'm not at high altitute so I don't think switching to that mode will make it run better, it will just make it run leaner.

    @fisherkieds6282 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The key to keeping these things running clean is bringing them up to temperature,I ramp mine up slowly till it gets the unit to 200 c,then I turn it down and even with it turned all the way down it maintains 200c and runs like a champ,and the pump pumps very slowly
