I’ve been waiting for the moment to use that old drill I’ve had it planned, I love old tools like that but don’t know if I could use them everyday. Shout-out is my pleasure thank you for supporting me 🙏👍
had a few wee chuckles through this one,your a naturally funny guy who doesn't even realise it.the near face plant into the side of the merc and the little wave recovery from it 😂🙈 interesting to see the install.i paid a guy to fit mines.wasnt confident enough to do it.tip,for the heater,you can set the temp rather than the number of bars.if you press and hold the top left button on display,it will either come up with the bar setting or the temp setting then u just use arrows on right to adjust.
Hey 👍 thank you I really appreciate that, i include most things I do on the channel hence nearly head butting the merc 😂 I try to add some humour whenever possible so thank you for the feedback. I’ll take a look at the temps instead of the bars 👍 thank you for your comment 😊
Ayup Nathan, yep heater still working perfectly, been a godsend over the winter while I've been working on the Bayliner! Also noticed you insulated the pump, makes a big difference to the clicking you get from it. Keep up the good work matey!
Hey Sean glad to hear it’s still working, that was my very first heater and yes remember wrapping in a white cloth that probably abit yellow now, I made a little metal frame to hold it up in the air then run the exhaust out the way out the back. I did put an intake pipe up to one of the holes near the funny little brown cupboard that goes no where. Some jobs you’ll probably notice where done on the fly and late at night making things happen, I did plan to finish all the little jobs. Hope your well 👍
Nothing wrong with the cheap diesel heaters, had mine three years and it’s fine. Have made a mod for mine so that I can send it a text to turn it on and off, great when you’re out some where and turn heater on before we get back so it’s nice n warm. Incidentally if you use heater on low regularly make sure you stick it on full for half hour every now and then to burn all the crap out of it. Nice neat install 👍
Hey bud I agree I’ve only ever used the cheap ones and never had an issue, ah that sounds a good idea I might have to Google that, yep I’ve heard that need a roaring to keep them cleaned out. Thanks mate 👍👍
Fair play for commitment to doing a proper test. I need a proper bed to sleep properly, tried to sleep overnight in a hammock once, was worst nice sleep I ever had! Okay for little siesta snooze maybe
Thanks mate, haha I nearly mentioned Chong but I try to hint stuff without actually saying it so I don’t get in trouble with TH-cam 😂😎, always appreciate your comments 🙏🙏
Mate, you looked ruffer than toast come the morning! 😂 carp beds will do that to a man though... that and the devils work 😉 love your content. Informative and entertaining. Keep up the hard graft 👍
Hey Adam haha I didn’t feel to great either 😆 some people absolutely love a carp bed but I don’t get on with them, they are alright for a nap but not for the night. Thanks for the comment bud 👍
Ah ye great video and thank you Nathan. Those diesel heaters are brilliant for keeping warm, especially at their price point. Have a great weekend mate. 👍
Yes mate epic, u might have to do a van life video, definitely is a smaller heater but looks epic nd keeps ur van walm happy days, epic workmanship there dude bloody epic, well bloody done, epic video as always top job, top bloke nd had to do proper testing to right epic looking forward to the next video, epic
Hey bill ah man I definitely didn’t enjoy the camp bed but I do enjoy van life, your right my kids keep asking to go somewhere, I need to get a side awning and make some proper beds up
useful video, ive just bought one of these heaters, 2 days ago, for my crafter xlwb camper.i wont be plumbing it into the tank, as its not gonna get used that much, but if i was id be changing out the silicone hoses for tygon ones. they last forever and dont go solid like most rubber hoses over time. look forward to seeing the interior finishing on the transporter
Did mine the other way round battery under drivers seat the only bit of advice I can add is make sure nothing is touching the exhaust as it will melt plastic as I found out ((blue return pipe to tank) £45 and drop tank great thanks for all the tips
Hey Trevor I did think about doing them the other way but see all the fuel lines 👍 oh man dropping the tank ain’t fun I done it twice and got diesel everywhere both times 😂 thanks for the comment bud 👍
Neat job Nath, I’ve got a heater from my t4, need to install it in the t6, but was going to fit it underneath, mine was a bit noisy on the pump, I will try your silicone hose trick as connected straight onto copper and it was like a brass band under there 😂
Hey griffo 👍, I did see videos of them being installed underneath and I see no reason for it being a bad idea, I fitted one to a T4 a couple years back so just copied what I’ve done putting it under the seat. Brass band 😂 they can be very noisy and I can’t stand it. The 3mm silicone hose takes a lot of the noise out I’ll prob put some of the sound deadening on the inside off the footwell to which should take the last bit of noise out 👍👍
Hi mate, clever way of fitting that diesel heater. 👍🏻 Idea for your fuel pump try putting some springs between your nuts on that threaded bar it’ll be secure but allow for movement. (Like air suspension compressors)
Nice one Sir, I have a relay controlled by a switch on mine that is fed by ignition live, and the batteries connected by fused both ends welding earth cable as like you say the fancy split charge relays cause a drain. Quick note if you have stop start and a smart alternator T5.1 bluemotion onwards you are going to have a bad time, connecting this way or with a split charge. Dc to Dc charger required, they are getting cheaper now or just use a lithium solar generator power bank with built in inverter charging from solar and 12v outlet while driving. Ed
Hey Edd thank you bud 👍 that’s a good shout about the ignition relay for the rear battery. I’ve looked at a few dc to dc chargers and they do look good. I’ll invest in one in the future for sure. Appreciate the comment 👍
You can buy an aftermarket remote for the heaters that’s also a thermostat cut out that switches on and off the heater at your desired temperature to save you switching on and off especially through the night
I’ve had three of them Chinese heaters, I found the quality was a bit hit and miss but for £100 or so they do the job, the timers are a bit crap I could never get any of mine to work properly,
Classic DTE , did you fit the silent Chinese heater pump Nathan ? Did see there are a bunch of accessories , and looks like the insulation worked well , diesel prices and such would be handy to know cost of heating per night.
Hi Marc, I only used what was in the box but I have seen there’s alot of accessories for them so I’ll take a look, I use another cheap heater in my Mobile home and weather dependent obviously but I fill the 15l tank up and it lasts well over 2 weeks, they really don’t use much fuel at all. Thanks mate 👍
Hey bud thank you 👍👍 I’ve never had an issue with the cheap heaters, I know they get a lot of hate on the internet but I’ve never had one fail properly or be dangerous. If I could afford a nice one I definitely would try one 👍
Hey Stuart well spotted I was Ment to mention in that clip that while I had the undertrays off I’ll grind it off and treat it, it’s literally surface rust, I have a transit also and that would be massive holes by now 😂
Hi mate is your van a swb? Do you have rear seats? What nash bed is it? Ive got a maxi and use a nash emperor that takes up the whole of the rear so been thinking of changeing to a T5 for more roam.
Hi bud mine is a lwb, if I didn’t have the rear seats the bed would fit no problem it would fit in a SWB with out seats to. Not sure what the bed is actually but it’s got a built in little pillow which is nice. I’m not the biggest fan of carp, camp beds. I’ve seen on eBay they do Z beds in single or double I’m going to try one out, they are just a fold up foam type thing they look like a little sofa when folded up..
Hey Bradley so you can use a starter battery, when connecting batteries like I have it is best to have the same size battery or really close AH. The leisure batteries are better but I’ve used normal batteries plenty of times 👍
Hi bud thank you, it’s just a 10” android car stereo , I made a little box like a sub box with some speakers in the front, when I go fishing for a few days I put a motorbike battery inside and it last a week 👍

Hey bud thank you 👍 I’ve never had an issue with the cheaper heaters so I’m sure you’ll be good. I’ll check out those hoses. Interior video is next 👍
Turrets are good to use

Ah man really appreciate the kind words 👍 I’ll do a mix of longer and shorter videos thank you 🙏
Did mine the other way round battery under drivers seat the only bit of advice I can add is make sure nothing is touching the exhaust as it will melt plastic as I found out ((blue return pipe to tank) £45 and drop tank great thanks for all the tips
Hey Trevor I did think about doing them the other way but see all the fuel lines 👍 oh man dropping the tank ain’t fun I done it twice and got diesel everywhere both times 😂 thanks for the comment bud 👍
There is a bleed setting on the controller without the glow plug engaging

Hey bud thank you appreciate that and that’s a good idea with the springs I shal definitely give it a try 👍
Great job mate !

Thanks Archie 👍👍
You can buy an aftermarket remote for the heaters that’s also a thermostat cut out that switches on and off the heater at your desired temperature to save you switching on and off especially through the night
Hey bud I’ve seen them I will have to take a look 👍 I go to sleep I’m to hot then wake up an hour later chilly so that would be perfect for me
Great video as always

Thanks as always Scott 👍
u r 1 top man
Thanks mate appreciate it 🙏🙏
Hi how much space is there under the seat base for the vents when fitted? does it protrude at the front of the seat?
I’ve had three of them Chinese heaters, I found the quality was a bit hit and miss but for £100 or so they do the job, the timers are a bit crap I could never get any of mine to work properly,
Hey Daz 👍 your right the timers are crap I’ve tried to use a couple of times with no luck.
Takk!
Thank you francis 🙏👍
Hi bud how do I buy a DTE TV sticker
you nut case 😂😂😂😂 at least you know shes toastie 😂😂😂👍👍
Haha thanks mate 😂 in the morning I did wish I stayed in my own bed, I actually had a wee nap that day lunchtime I was knackered 😂😂

Wow all that great work on the t5 , and now putting a crap heater in , oh well good luck with that , 🤣
Hey bud thank you 👍👍 I’ve never had an issue with the cheap heaters, I know they get a lot of hate on the internet but I’ve never had one fail properly or be dangerous. If I could afford a nice one I definitely would try one 👍
You've gotta sort that rust while you're there surely?
Hey Stuart well spotted I was Ment to mention in that clip that while I had the undertrays off I’ll grind it off and treat it, it’s literally surface rust, I have a transit also and that would be massive holes by now 😂
Hi mate is your van a swb?
Do you have rear seats?
What nash bed is it?
Ive got a maxi and use a nash emperor that takes up the whole of the rear so been thinking of changeing to a T5 for more roam.

Did the van start in the morning u didn't show that bit ah yeh
Hi bud I forgot to include that in the shot but yes it did 👍
Is that a car battery your using in the back or leisure battery? I need to do the same to charge tools? I have a spare starter battery in garage.
Hey Bradley so you can use a starter battery, when connecting batteries like I have it is best to have the same size battery or really close AH. The leisure batteries are better but I’ve used normal batteries plenty of times 👍
@@YTDTETV brilliant I’m always asking for advice probably doing your head in😂 thanks mate really appreciate it
@@bradleyhyland2953 your alright mate 👍 happy to help
Great vid as usual....what's that tv box?
Hi bud thank you, it’s just a 10” android car stereo , I made a little box like a sub box with some speakers in the front, when I go fishing for a few days I put a motorbike battery inside and it last a week 👍
Who would of thought that a heater like that are so cheap. When you next go fishing you won’t need your bive just sit in the van.
Hey Conrad they are very good for the money, I’ve seen on a few fishing pages people rigging the heaters up into their bivvys 👍
Ah yeah
Thanks mate 👍
