ive got a 2 kw in a custom built plywood cabinet mounted to the outside wall, it uses about 2 litres a day at 2.5 Hz and heats a two up two down semi detached house to 20 degrees C , I dont get any condensation because it is dry air but I would advise putting a bowel of water near the air outlet, when outside temps get really low it might be adviseable to extract inside air throuigh the heater as I have done, ive positioned the outside box between a parting wall half way across my kitchen and my living room so I can take air from the kitchen and blow heated air into my living room. its still a lot cheaper thsn running a 32kw gas boiler at £12.00 a day. people in the UK are going to mget a very big shock when their quarterly gas bill lands on the doorstep if they havent bought a chineese diesel heater.
A very nice video, and a great explanation to its running costs. I’m seriously thinking of getting one for my conservatory as it’s an open plan leading into the kitchen dinning room. Quite a large area. Maybe a little more power needed in my case.

I have the 2kw heater, but my display only shows 2 green, 2 yellow and 1 red segment. I don't think it is getting to max temp. What are your pulse settings? Mine is 1Hz lowest and 3Hz highest setting.
your math(arithmetic) is shite, 250ml is 1/4 of a liter, DONK! 400ml is 2/5 of a liter, or 4/5 of a 1/2 liter or .4 liter [ 1/4 liter would be .25 liter ] Your test is but a rough test, your fuel measurement in these bottles is shite Temperature is not a good way to gauge efficiency as all rooms are different! But overall it does show these things are very efficient. You need to look at the Pulse Hz rate... and the fan speed. (settings after the timers, with password) Pulse Hz(per second) x .02 ml per stroke = fuel consumption

Good luck!
Thank you! This answered my question about what size tank to purchase for my DIY heater box project.
Glad I could help!
Good experiment, surprisingly little fuel. 🍷🍺👍
Hi Chris yep i was surprised very little fuel 👌😊
👏👏👏thank you for that perfect video of air heater s fuel info 🙏 so helpfull
AC power in a metal box? Be careful, plus DC output should be red & black? Less confusion?
Hi Mark, can you please tell me where I could get a spare 8kw glow plug??

So you have to build a container for it? Nice box. Did you make it?
Hi Ruth i brought the tool box but had to modify it to take the heater thanks for watching
will its be ok in a green house so i got slands all year round as at the moment i got parfin or canduls for off the grid heating mark
defo just make sure the exhaust is outside ok lol
thanks for the update. where is best bet for price on a 205l barrel of red deliverd bud?
i got mine from a mate just to test but heating fuel is just as good
@@MrMeltedwellies not a problem bud. it was just a price thing tbh we all know red is cheap and legal to use for many aplication off the road
Shud show temp on display after
Do you can ad the link where to buy that
Why use it on 8 degrese?
Shud test at 24 cos then you will get 18 degrese

ill check
Those settings are super low mine are minimum 1.6hz and max of 5.5hz
Where did u get heater from?
Hi Dod ebay and built it into the tool box good fun thanks for watching
Sorry but that looks a lot like 5KW to me - it's too big for a 2KW
