i think you might have problems with the fuel pump in the long run because its lubricated by the diesel oil, but fair play for showing it will run on petrol.
Webasto and Eberspacher make petrol versions of these heaters, what pumps are they using? VW had petrol heaters in in their vehicles for decades ad all had solenoid pumps that lasted.
@fuck face any form of liquid will act as lubricant, by the way if you look at the cracking table you will find petrol is just 2 up from diesel, you may get scoring assuming there were metal to metal contact but once the pump is primed the piston is surrounded by the petrol, by the way I was just service my lpg autogas solinoids and these have no form of lubrication since lpg is a gas without any form of lubrication, the pistons are metal to metal contact (no ptfe coating), it the first time I've service them for 10 years and there were no scoring whatsoeven
I wonder if you fabricated a static fan like stirrer disc if that would work an induce more vortex and improve heat exchange? Great series of videos. Thanks.
David, I run my heater on red diesel with E5 super unleaded mixture. 0.5 ltrs to 6 ltrs of diesel. I find I get a cleaner burn, ignights faster, less smoke when starting up.
One of the historical recipes for TVO (Tractor Vapourising Oil) was 3 1/2 kerosene : 1 Petrol : 1/2 diesel. Kero/diesel was not so easy to ignite (with a spark), the diesel was for a little lubrication and the petrol was to ensure easy ignition. My view is use the cheapest energy source available that will do the job - trying to get the tax refunded on any petrol purchased is not easy!. You have slightly weakened the burn by adding petrol(lower energy value), so could possibly slow the fan speed slightly without making carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases
I just happened to chance across your channel. Seems you're looking for a removable cap for the end of your burn chamber. How about a deep engine block freeze plug that caps(like a lid on a jar) over the end of your chamber with 3 stainless steel screws going through the side of the plug into the chamber wall. BTW im burning 10-15 % gasoline mixed with my diesel in hopes of not having to clean my chamber. So far so good.
You need to use a constant speed flow pump for petrol (using some sort of controller that converts the pulses into speed so faster the pulse faster the speed) alternatively use something that has small nozzle like a injector and some sort of expansion vessel that allows it to to make pressure as the pump goes faster it make more pressure and it spray faster (got to make sure all fittings are high pressure or you have some PSI of petrol shooting out when pipe pops off)
Great experiment! Maybe you have already tried it, but I was thinking that if you installed one (or several) of those fuel dampers so that the fuel seeps in instead of pulsing in that may help also. I would also be interested to see that test and then crank the fan speed way up and run it lean. I have been playing with petrol in my heater (and waste oil mixes) and I suspect that the one reason why it pulses is that the pressure of the fuel igniting overcomes the pressure of the fan, no more air can get in so the flame goes out. It starts burning again when it gets more air. Quite clearly, at lower speeds it is pulsing with the fuel being injected (diesel does the same thing at startup) but the very high frequency at higher settings, I believe, is because the heater starts to run like a pulse jet engine. It certainly sounds like a pulse jet engine, and if you place a rag, or your hand by the inlet, you can feel / see the pressure waves.
There used to be a genuine Eberspacher designed for petrol specifically for Volkswagon beetles (their engine heat was all at the back and didn't heat the driver's feet) and the VW camper. Whether any exist or can be ordered from Eberspacher or whether any information is available, who knows. The VW Beetle has been off the market for a while.
A great experiment, but think I will stick with a 50/50 mix of veggie oil and petrol (perhaps a 50/50 of Kero and petrol) for a quick mod free alternative...

Almost free? Not here it isn't. The cost of chemicals means you'd have to produce huge batches. It's sold commercially at almost the same price as normal white diesel here.
@@DavidMcLuckie sorry to hear that but still mite be your best bet to make those big batches and use it to heat your house too. I made a window unit out of one of the Chinease diesel heaters with a 20 amp dc power sup.
I know you did about a year ago and it’s still hard to find one of these that runs on Petrol, with exception of Webasto and Eberspacher. I recently found one with the options of either diesel or petrol. Thought it was worth a try. It eventually arrived and, as I expected, was labelled a Diesel which was backed by the instructions which only referred to a diesel unit. Anyway, I decided to try try it on Petrol and it works brilliantly. I haven’t opened the chamber yet to see if there have been any modifications, but externally, even with the top casing off, it’s identical to a diesel. I’m not overly familiar with this type of heater so I’m reluctant to delve too deep. Could it just be a matter of getting the right settings?
I was going to order a webasto petrol air top 2000 but instead bought a Chinese diesel. I’d be interested to see the burner assembly inside the webasto too.
My post was a bit misleading. The heater I bought was a Chinese heater. From what I can see, all the components are the same as the diesel ones so I’m guessing it’s all about the settings. When I get a minute I’ll try to get into the setting and note what they are for a comparison to the diesel. It would be a great result if it was as simple as that??
Given diesel has no issues with running lean, maybe try choking the intake, a more advantageous a/f may help, also less airflow will keep the burning mixture located to the burn chamber
I'd love someone to make an open source heater controller from a raspberry pi that could take an AFR as an input to automatically adjust the heater for different fuels.
Will the heater work better in your opinion if you mix diesel with 20-30% gasoline? Will it be cleaner inside? I had to disassemble and clean it after one season?

Propane is too volatile for this type of burner, in actuality a constant flame is not what you want. It works on the same principle as a kerosene heater or lamp, a specific type of material (catalytic) is heated to a certain temperature and fuel keeps that said material burning red hot without the need of a flame. The glow plug only ignites and starts the cycle until that material is hot enough to maintain a constant combustion on its own without help ,then the plug powers down.
Will petrol Webasto Termo Top C works with diesel fuel? I have diesel car and brand new petrol Webasto TT. I would like to install it to my diesel car. What you think about it?
The air fuel ratio isn't quite right. You get it sometimes on diesel as well if the heater isn't quite setup right. Sometimes just fitting the air filter and the exhaust is enough to smooth it out.
I wonder if it would run on E85 (85% ethanol 15% petrol) as well. Webasto and Eberspächer heaters for petrol/gasoline run fine on E85 with less sooth. They are very similar to your diesel heater but often have some kind of (optical) flame sensor and cut of the pump if the flame goes out.
Oh it looks like the controller includes a thermostat, so the system is thermostatically controlled? Interesting, I thought it was just a dumb 'low-med-high' type of controller; I thought you'd need the LCD controller before you got a thermostat
The rotary controller just doesn't display a temperature. You have to adjust by trial and error to see where on the dial corresponds to what kind of temperature you want.
@@DavidMcLuckie mine wouldnt start once sprayed a tiny amount of easy start and it fired up smoked like hell and the carbon it kicked out all over the floor was alot
Gas(petrol) has less energy than diesel so you actually need more of it for a given amount of heat output. I think its somewhere in the 10% Less range based on mass. Its flame front moves much faster than diesel this is probably why the cap works well. I would try to reduce restriction of the cap and maybe use more mass to hold heat. Maybe a chunk of iron that covers the middle of the burn chamber.
@@dimedriver A narrow strip of metal across the front of the burn chamber with a large bolt mounted in the middle hanging down into the chamber should do it...

The petrol is thinner than diesel so needs a finer injection nozzle to give a constant spray of fuel rather than a pulse.
