Tell me a little bit more about your under the garage door seal installation. Any issues with heat? Im looking for a under the garage door seal solution
I just have the exhaust running into a 3” aluminum pipe. That was getting too hot for the rubber seal still so I now prop the door open on an old coffee can and it sits just above the pipe so it has a little air gap
Get some cheap flexible Styrofoam "pool noodles " to close the cold air gap under the garage door. But hold it back from the very hot exhaust pipe by a few inches. IMHO
Nope not at all. As long as it’s vented outside you won’t smell it. Where we live the wind usually blows away from the garage door though. I’m sure if there was an oncoming wind you may get a little bit of smell. But I’ve yet to have any issues.
Good video and thanks for your efforts. But you could have saved yourself hours of testing. You have the pump displacement (.02ml) X pump frequency. Can be set instead of Temp.
So yes that is an option. Unfortunately my heater is just heat levels 1-6 or I can do it by temp. Other heaters you can change it my frequency…I found this out after I bought mine.
Pump is 0.022ml... hertz rate of pump... 0.022ml x hz x 60sec x 60mins Low... 0.022 x 1.4hz x 60 x 60 = 111ml an hour... Med... 0.022 x 2.8hz x 60 x 60 = 222ml an hour... High.. 0.022 x 4.2hz x 60 x 60 = 333ml an hour... Simples
My heater you can’t control the pulse rate. Well not directly. It’s only settings are 1-6 unlike others where you can control the hertz for the settings.
@@AJ-qn6gd And a man dying of thirst would gladly give everything he had for a drink of water. Now please tell me what that has to do with the price of Diesel?
At the moment, pump diesel is £1.47 per liter, to run a 1kw heater costs me 36p in electricity per hour, the heater will run for about 5 hours off a liter, that's about 29p per hour. It's not much but it is a saving. In UK we can get red diesel meant only for off road use and that's about £1 per liter. Fact is that we are mega jipped off here in UK for fuel. Not sure how it is for USA but as far as I can see it is worth doing but does involve faffing about setting it up, it's noisy etc. so when you say not worth it, that depends on your situation and to just state ' not worth it ''could really do with some explanation.
The cost is irrelevant to me for the heater. I have it for a reason. It’s a portable heater for me that can be used for different things than my buddy heater. The cost per hour to stay warm in certain circumstances is irrelevant. But I do want to know how long I can run it before I need more fuel.

Is there a diesel smell when used in the garage like that?
Nope not at all. As long as it’s vented outside you won’t smell it. Where we live the wind usually blows away from the garage door though. I’m sure if there was an oncoming wind you may get a little bit of smell. But I’ve yet to have any issues.

@@brettseres8352 Understood. Still a good effort and I'm sure it will be helpful to many other
Pump is 0.022ml... hertz rate of pump... 0.022ml x hz x 60sec x 60mins
Low... 0.022 x 1.4hz x 60 x 60 = 111ml an hour...

@@brettseres8352 time the pulse rate for 30 seconds and double it for the hz rate 👍
Please post the actual size of your tank.
I believe it’s 5L. I haven’t measured it exactly but that’s what the listing said when I got it.
Not cost effective. Diesel is $4.00 a gallon.
I disagree when it’s freezing out you would happily pay $2 to stay nice and warm in your camper van all night 👍🏻🇬🇧

When your cold cost means nothing
