That's a nice enclosure for the diesel heater! I need one for myself :-) I was considering putting a 20 liter tank inside the box. Do You or somebody else have any experience doing that???
A lot of energy is being lost on the exhaust. I have bought some extra tubes, and let it heat up these tubes. At the end of the tube, I only have 20°C (ambiant temperature) and at the beginning about 200°C. So I recover all energy not only from the blower but also from the exhaust. It has now improved my heater with another 100%. The tube you add should be much bigger, so the long exhaust pipe won't be a bottleneck.
unplug the tank line and extend it 2 feet or more and run it to a 5 gallon fuel container and it runs for about 3 days . i set up a fuel pump from the basement .to refuel the container from a 275 gallon tank of #2 home heating oil
I fitted one in my boat I live on, it isn't a narrow boat more of a coastal type, I use around 2.5L / 3L over 24 hours running at around 1.3 but sometimes up to 2.8 and it is keeping the boat warm and so much less damp. I have a 300L fuel tank on the boat, got 80 ish litres of red fuel in it at moment and not moving so and am about to plumb it to the heater so I don't have to keep filling it up. I tend to turn it off for a few hours a day, as I am pretty much stuck on the boat near 24/7 (due to medical stuff) it has helped so much keeping the cost of heating down, I have it in the boats wheel house and 40mm tubing going to different sections of the boat so keeping it all dry and warm and I can hardly hear it when watching stuff on laptop or when in bed.
10:15 haven't those little mufflers got a small hole to let any water out? Am sure I saw that on another video? I have a different one I got off amazon for about 15 quid and have exhaust pipe running through wheel house before it goes out the side, gaining more heat from it before it escapes.
Brother, I'm in the united states. Arkansas to be exact. Thank you for taking time to make my day more interesting. 👍🏻👍🏻

The exhaust taking an extended looped-route inside the enclosure, before exiting, would probably be a good way to capture some of the waste-heat.

great, thanks for the message cheers andy
Your weep hole on your muffler has to point down for draining condensation ... can't tell if thats the case ...
Any issue with not enough air flow for the blower motor, when the lids on?
Nevermind, just watched till 1:40 secs.
