DIESEL HEATERS May NOT Be As SAFE As You Think!

- Dan broke the weather today but that's NOTHING compared to the trouble we have later in the day. After many years of using our diesel heater it decided to make us panic by throwing smoke out. This is our home so whenever you see smoke, you think fire! Scary moment but luckily it didn't get out of control as we noticed it in time.

❤❤❤❤❤ brilliant vlog thanks for doing what you do 😊
thanks guys ❤
Why didn’t you pull sticks out and turn them save re glueing cups
I suffer a lot of headaches and pains in neck, so i got bamboo pillows other week, there are brilliant so comfortable AND no pain/no headaches 😊
Don’t know if you noticed at 28:46 a bird flew to the nesting box sussing it out 😊 loving the wildlife shots
We love our bamboo sheets. Happy early birthday Mazzy. My birthday is the day before yours.
Mine too! Happy birthday to you x
The things falling from the trees are baby spiders. They use their yarn as a sail and float down on the breeze. The reason they look larger is because they are closer to the camera than they look. There was something on the news about thousands being seen in a village somewhere but can't remember where.
Hi dan and mazzy hope you get your diesel problem sorted the tea looks nice mazzy love the footage of the male and female pheasants and robin magpie blackbird etc 😊
Sounds like a leaking pipe or loose connection with your diesel heater.
my heater did exact same...turned out it was the plastic case had melted and stuck to the heat exchanged filled my van with toxic smoke
It was good love seeing the birds thank you
I hope you get your diseal heater sorted out soon great vlog as always the food looked great you was cooking
Hope you get the diesel heater sorted 🙏🏼 I'd have been scared to go to sleep until I knew what it was, hope it's a simple fix 🙏🏼 love the ending with the birds, always an awesome vlog guys 🌹❣️🔥 xx
Hi Dan & Mazzy, Great vlog, loved the wild life footage with all the birds. We are sorry to hear your heater is broken, we hope you can fix it, maybe it needs cleaning. Have a lovely weekend, love you guys, take care xxx
Great vlog.
Not sure
Lighting bugs
Another animal or other insects
Steak looks amazing with asparagus and truffles 😋 😋 ❤
Just like any other heating system especially diesel they need regular servicing more so after 5 yrs remember your life and home are at risk
Wonderful vlog. Absolutely LOVE the animal footage. The lights I spotted were the eyes reflecting in the dark, eyes from a little Martin. I think it was a Martin. Sorry to hear you both had stress from that diesel heater. I can easily imagine what you both went through. Happy to see you spotted it and that you are both safe. Take good care. Love from us.
Once heard someone say truffles smelled like damp dogs drying 😀
Great video. Hope you get your diesel problem sorted. Love the bird footage
Dan, what software do you use for editing, great video again, Danke.
Final Cut Pro X
Thank you, have a great night. 🤗
Nice video,love the bird video's 👍
Hi mazzy and dan fantastic video loved the birds thanks so much for sharing ❤❤👍👍👍
Great video . Hope you get the diesel heater fixed. It is worrying though.
Danielle
love the wildlife footage 🐦🐦🐦💚
Dan's making a helicopter lol. great vlogs. x
"That looks exactly like the expensive birthday gift I got you last year."
That made me laugh.
Run the diesel heater on HIGH to burn all the soot out of the exhaust. We do ours twice a year even though we have ours on all the time but we only have it low as our van only small. That should clean it out Dan 👌
great vlog on channel keep up the great vlogs thanks lee
Great video enjoyed the wildlife footage. Try saying this to Alexa Dan and see what happens its a good experiment. Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A START
Great blog 😊
I get the same bother with my diesel heater.. nowt to worry about though! I get the kit to service mine off ebay, bit of a clart on to do but easy enough!👍
Loved the photos of the birds Dan , hope you get the diesel heater sorted soon . Xx
The clue is in the name,Dan - SUN-dial. So it needs sun to cause the shadows. x
Dan
What’s the best part about living in Switzerland? I don’t know, but the flag is a big plus.
Peter Kent
It just needs cleaning. Take it apart to clean the soot out.
It'll be yr intake pulling the fumes in cause there's no wind or the fumes to escape to mine does that
Robbie Rotten is a fictional character in a,show called Lazy Town, my son loved it when he was a child
Great vlog, hope you get your Diesel heater sorted what a worry for you both, would make me panic, sorry i’m a day late with my comment and watching the vlog, love ya both ❤😊🤗
Hi Dan and Mazzy oh Dan honestly you crack me up with your weather making gadgets 😅😅and look on your face Mazzy says it all lol 😮 honestly keep being you because love all your vlogs for sure ....Yeah also think thy could be fireflies or its fairys dancing 💃 🤔..... Wow you have some bonnie birds Dan love the Pheasant up on your storage unit ....Oh im so glad your doing Hello Fresh because was thinking og getting some for my hubby to try .... Take Care ..,😊😊❤❤
Peace
Awwww I loved seeing those birds thanx. I don't know what those falling things were sorry. Xx
Good video guys - apart from the yodelling lol. Check out Frank Ifield - she taught me to yodel. Dan you could do a rendition of this...walking round the campsite..❤
You need to run the heaters regularly just looks like it’s got a bit of damp on it run it up hot, I had a scania and it looked like I was on fire then when I got hot it was fine
We run it daily.
Always be safe. Have it checked out as soon as you're able.
Bless Mazzy, if anything goes wrong im a nervous wreck too.
I know how she feels.
Im using bamboo loo roll, bit more expensive but much nicer. Loved the bird footage, thank you ❤xx
Is that what could have caused your headache? Carbon monoxide?
Scarey about diesel heater. Hope it’s ok. Those hello fresh meals look good…might give them a go. Enjoy your weekend.xx😻
Like Mazzy said sometimes the pipes can block up to the diesel heater ,before you turn your heater off your meant to put it on the highest heat setting for a few minutes to blow out the pipes ..Love the Hello Fresh menu your tea looks good 😀blimey Dan your feeding a variety of birds 😅Thanks for the great video both of you 😊X
Dan
Just had a terrible day, I witnessed an attempted murder earlier-fortunately only one crow showed up!
Peter Kent
YOu both have a lovely week end too...Lovely watching birds they will really miss you if you moved to another site...Love Linda from isle of wight x
Hi Dan and mazzy just to say hope you have a great birthday mazzy and you are very clever Dan doing all your experiments suexx
U may hav played cricket with Hudson the weatherman but your forecasts are not so good 😂
I think you should have your own tv show called the dan and Mazzy show, who needs whats on tv now always Brightens my day watching you to 😂
I suspect your fan bearing has failed on the diesel heater. Keep us posted! 😊
Loved the birds!
Glad you both ok! Scary time hope you get sorted. Enjoy your steak dinner xx

What did the pirate say on his 80th birthday? “Aye, matey!”

Hilarious vlog "do you need sun to make a shadow"oh Dan. Also was that a blue tit going in the nesting box or just perching.
mazzy boredom is a expensive hobby 🤣and ebay will facilitate
Diesel heaters Chinese or otherwise are safe HGVs use them none stop however like everything need servicing . Also is a temperature sensor in them they dont catch fire any faults will shut down and wont restart
Cars are safe but they can still be dangerous.
Id worry more about gas heating in my van @@TravelTrollsTV
Our gas heating is NOT smoking!@@karlmabe1649
@TravelTrollsTV Iknow Chinese diesel heater is safer than your gas heater was my point we met you in tescos carpark Exeter once x
Brilliant vLog, so funny with great content, keep it up. I would check for a small diesel leak onto your heater exhaust which would burn off as smoke. Rodents chew on fuel pipes. Visual check with heater off and observe when switched on. Maybe clean filters.
relax the heater has to exhaust !!
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅smiley faces I know ye didn’t have them in a long time so here’s a few 😂😂😂😂
First
That may have been where the smoke was coming from when u saw it when travelling. Take care Marion x
yo dan thats condensation getting up your silencer pipe, you should turn it round so it faces to the back of the van so no rain water off the road can be forced up it, thy all smoke on start if not used for some Time
For first time in 4 years?
I was looking at the video of the tree fairies think you're fine there's four of them
Poor Dan.one of them have got to work surely, 😅
Sorry your scientific experiment didn't work out,you were still so funny Dan.
Hope you get your diesel heater checked over you both must have got an awful fright.Fantastic wildlife footage .Thanks for your great vlog.Love to you both.xx
The lights falling down look like Lampyridae, sometimes called lightning bugs, fireflies or glow worms.
I was the one who said you was like robbie rotten 😂 but i only meant when you had the black hair dye on. Before you rinsed it out. Not in general 😂 lol
Wonderful bird clips ❤❤
Dan as you said no wind today
Put it on full bore and let it run
Get on the floor under the van and watch. You will never see anything if you don't get under and watch
Just blow through exhaust pipe it might be clogged. Had once same thing in cold weather, wheres condensated water collected to low point of pipe until it was blocked.
Exhast must be angled townwards all the way, for condensate water escape.
Isn’t there a notch on the muffler for any water to run out of so it doesn’t collect.
@@robertdutton6110muffler isnt issue, badly installed pipe is.
@@sarmil3166 ok but in dans defence why now after 4/5 years
@@robertdutton6110 never know, angle of van, fitting come loose etc.. there is many things that can check. I usually start from easy to hard. Unburnt diesel smoke is white, there is issue with diesel igniter, restricted air flow, blocked exhaust.
1. Open heater side exhaust pipe and just blow through.
2. Clean airintake filter
These are easiest to check.
Usually diesel heaters have selfcheck for critical components, if 1 of them fails it wount start.
@@sarmil3166thought you said badly fitted pipe is the problem.
No wind,no rain,no sun 😂 You need to get your van looked at… that’s scary.
What type of key opens a banana….. a monkey 🤣 lovely birds, saw the blue tit checking out your bird box
White smoke has a lot to do with the temperature in the combustion chamber.If the smoke is really just a puff, there is not much to worry about. Especially if it has been sitting, it could just be built up condensation.
The bamboo growing through people is true
It was used in world war 2 by the Japanese on prisoners of war.
Beautiful birds. The Pheasant is stunning. I wonder why the male birds outshine the females in the bird world? Good luck with your heater.
😂😂😂....if it's for adults they don't put ages on it!😂😂😂
Awww so glad your both ok , blimey can you imagine if you went to sleep with it on😮.
Loving the yodelling 😍😅.
Talking of bamboo I bought Hubby some bamboo boxers , im seriously jealous because he said there his favourite comfy pants and to be fair they have lasted longer than any others and they are super soft😂. I'm on a hunt now for bamboo pants🤣.
❤❤❤
Look like squirrels dropping from the conifers to me. 🐿
Sorry dan your scientific test didn't work, a joke for you .
Which sports out of tennis or badminton is better for your health .? (Answer) badminton as you never hear badminton elbow 😅😅😅 ,thanks for your stream good as always love you both ❤️ 💜
Dan the pipe has come off the deisel heater
My grandchild would love all your science projects. So not a loss Dan, you've given me more ideas for them xxxx
The diesel might be dirty Dan.
Dan
Unfortunately I sold my vacuum the other day…
all it was doing was collecting dust!
Peter Kent
But you’re a professional 😂😂
Really hope you get your diesel heater sorted soon. Wonderful footage of the wildlife. Some commented the things falling from the trees are spiders....I'd prefer to think of them as fairies😂 looking forward to seeing what your Hello Fresh meal was like. Take care ❤
I got fired from Pepsi after working there for 20 years.
I tested positive for coke.
I believe the woman who grew in to the settee was called Sophie 😉
Hi guys. So sorry you are having problems with heater.
I can totally understand why you were stressed.
The birdee shots were great ..
Hope you keep warm ❌❌💜💜
Talking fairy s, squirrel s tail waving up and down ,look interesting
sent you an email Dan with photo of heater
these are spiders
Professor Dan,your scientific experiments didn't go to plan 😮. Youre the bird man,they flock to see you whenever they can. Beautiful footage of the birds eating your nuts😊.I think Dan would like build a bear Mazzy lol blow up 🐻 giant inflatable 😅😅. Enjoy u tacos 🌮 😉 yum yum. X
Maybe your headaches are because your contact lenses need a new prescription . As you have probs with reading etc. a wrong prescription will give you a headache . Worth getting it checked out . Thanks for today x sadly Robbie Rotten is dead , he did lazy town . Lovely pics of the birds Dan . Hope you get that Heater sorted , I can imagine the worry it’s giving you . Bless you both .
