Very interested in it.
I like how these units keep getting better and better. If they could come up with a lower wattage glow plug version it would be compatible on pretty much any power station.
It would be helpful if they could lower the start up draw just a little while the glow plug is on. Would love a small propane forced heater. Some thing small that uses less power than RV furnace but use on board tanks
@@johnnysweekends Hey there the 8kw unit I'm installing has cheezy on/off button and was a cerimoney trying to link remote that ONLY ajusts temp up/down, and powering on is problematic when temp set too low as temp won't ajust UNTILL powered up..... I can work around these issues BUT with the temp is set lower then ambient, the fan speed/heating lowers way down as it should works great however it stays running on low regardless of where the temp is set, and eventually get's TOO HOT!!!
Will any of these controllers cycle the burner off when it gets too hot???,and back on again??? if I get an aftermarket one?thanks
@autojohn-pu1vf you’ll want one that will cycle fully off and on, this one doesn’t but more of the models that you do a permanent install have a thermostat/controller you can mount
@@johnnysweekends TY for reply just hit sub&👍Know anything about those 25buk controllers on amazon, will they do that? the product descriptions not too helpful.
@autojohn-pu1vf sorry I don’t. And yea a lot of these instructions could use some help. It’s kinda a learn as you go for some of it. Sorry I couldn’t help more.
Thanks for the sub 😀👍🏼👊🏼
Wow! Upon watching this video, I'm never going to freeze in any winter storm.... I'm never going to solely depend on the grid as my only source for heat, I'll be ever ready before winter every year...... thanks brother!
Thank you, Johnny, I have been watching several diesel heater videos and I can say that this video is about the best I have seen.
Wow thank you..🙏🏼 appreciate it.
I plan to do more updates as well.
Thanks I will be watching for it@@johnnysweekends
I'm looking for a diesel heater, and this video was just great info. thx
I just bought one they look really nice maybe you're working outside it's cold be nice to have a hot stream of air to blow on you or maybe just to warm up the shed
They do work well especially if you have something smaller than what I have lol. But I just try and feed more to the bed room..
A diesel heater is on my list of things to get. I like that heater but the hose things you mentioned make me want to look for a different brand. Another thorough and great review! Happy Holidays! 🤠👍🇺🇸
I want to find some sort of propane forced heat but small and energy efficient. These little heaters are great but diesel is still spendy at the moment. Happy holidays Jeff 👍🏼😀🎄
@@johnnysweekends Boy howdy! I love propane and propane accessories! Happy Holidays Johnny!
They probably keep the fuel inlet a little high to create a sump for contaminants.
True, I think it’s a pinch high my self and with a fuel filter it will filter the contaminants. Although it does act as a natural fuel water separator so…🤷🏼♂️
Perfect review. Lots of info. Great pacing and editing. No fluff. Thank you.
Thank you 👍🏼😀👊🏼
It's supposed to be a little up from the bottom. Because of sledge, contaminants.
I'm using it, too
It's a really good product
It's about time these new heaters came with better fuel pipe and proper worm drive clamps.🙄🙄🙄
Would have liked to see a way to attack a hose to both inlet and outlet air.
Ordering mine right now
👍🏼👊🏼😀
Have you had any problems with it? I have seen a lot of people having issues with other brands, like overheating, throwing codes and stop working in the middle of the night.. appreciate your videos.. just subscribed as well
I haven’t had issues well at least not yet but only used it a few hours with testing and one over night. But I’m leaving for another week this Saturday and will use it two or 3 days and nights and it will be very cold a few of the days so will see how it does… plenty of propane for back up so..👍🏼
I have the same heater. While I like it it is a 4kW not 5-8kW. I have no idea why the lie about the specs.. I threw my POS Vevor in the dumpster….HCalory is much better..
What was wrong with your vevor?
Thanks for the info I was one button tap away from ordering a vevor phew 👍
the only thing i wish it had longer ac/dc cable. when using while camping, it limits the usage to plug to portable power station instead of dual battery set up in our vehicle. yes i can get the extension cable but not ideal. also not crazy about having the ac/dc box as its not water resistant so have to keep it covered when used outside of the tent
Yea I agree a longer cable would be nice also a thicker gauge for the run but most modify the vehicle with a higher DC out at a certain location
So would it be fair to say that starting the heater on the ac/dc power supply and then straight to DC when it settles down would be the general procedure to start it up ?
If you could switch the power source fast enough with out it noticing and shutting down then sure that would be ideal for power stations rated at only 10amp DC
Best video out there. Thanks for sharing.
Wow thank you…😀👍🏼👊🏼
Great video; do you think a person can get more BTU's from running Jet A or Kersosene as they call it today?
Diesel has more btu than kerosene by several thousand lie 133k to 139k. Jet A is in the middle at 135 ish
Any thoughts on how to protect it from rain while tent camping?
Yesss!! Get a Tupperware tub about the same size or slightly bigger but not a deep one. Shallow style ..
Flip it up side down and cut the ends to fit the heater hose coming out and some holes on the other end for air going in.
Also elevate it off the ground maybe a small little table or or 2x4s in case of heavy rains.
The tub works great
What size duct do you need to buy to plumb it in? Is it 3 or 4"? Thanks for all the killer content! I'm really thinking about getting this unit.
3inch I believe I have some listed in the description and comment section
Does your ecoflow have xboost? That should work for the first couple min until the power consumption drops.
Boost is only for AC and it also drops voltage so it’s not good for every use.
Great review, well done!
👍🏼😀
Thank you for the video.for us ladies can u show us how u installed the filter.i think I know how its done but I don't want to assume.thank you❤❤
The air filter or screen really is preinstalled on the bottom of this unit from what I remember. It just slips right on. Easy peasy …👍🏼
@@johnnysweekends ok 😊 thanks
Are you able to connect to 2 different units in the app? I want to get 2 units to heat my garage but am wondering if I can control them independently with the app ??
I think you would have to select which one. Never tried but most times you would name the unit and then select which to control
Nice little set up how often would you change the fuel filter?
Would depend on how often and how much you use it. Once a year with regular use. Maybe every other with light use.
Link to the pancake diesel filter, Johnny?
These should work, the other I can’t find
amzn.to/4bPNig9
How come you dont have a return air duct if your going to use this outside ? it would be many times more efficient.
I need to just redo my setup a little. Im planning a different way soon.
I am looking Fwd to it.👍 @@johnnysweekends
Is it necessary to use the muffler/silencer or can it just be straight piped outside ?
Nope you can straight pipe… it only drops the sound a little.. noticeable if standing next to it… 15 ft away I bet you couldn’t tell a difference
Loud pipes save lives 😅
What size was your heat tube? 75 mm? Also I believe you're supposed to to hold the circle down to prime the first time or after a full runout with out fuel in the line but could not get this function to work (enter the count down prime mode).
Mine self primed, and yes I have a couple tubs listed that can work with this. I believe I listed 75mm tubes
Thanks I took a gamble before it came and ordered a 75mm vent, splitter, and pair of tubes kit. Mine is self priming as well but was wanting to get the extended priming to work so I could evacuate some air. Anyways thanks for your response and helpful videos.
@@johnnysweekends
Do you prefer this one or the maxspeedingrod?
They both have a couple advantages. This one is quicker to get to the engine and do stuff if needed. Verses the metal outside cover has screws that all need to come off.
Plus a tall skinny profile you will need some add on foot pegs or it will blow over. Plus needs to be lifted anyway.
The app is way better and talks better on the Hcalory so that’s actually nice. The other had connection issues but the remote did work.
Over all the Hcalory is pretty nice just on the higher price side. I’ll be using it several days in about two weeks for a trip
Has anyone noticed any difference using on-road diesel vs off-road diesel? (Gas station vs farm use)
Shouldn’t be any different as it’s only a dye
@@johnnysweekends I believe there's a sulphur content difference. I think sulphur helps lubricate. Again, don't know if it makes a difference. I was thinking there might be a similar comparison between regular gasoline and recreational gasoline in small engines. Rec fuel has no ethanol and has higher octane and is best in small engines use.
@bapdk9349 ahh yes correct I forgot that red is like the old diesel with more sulfur content. Wish we had that back for our trucks lol. People will burn waist oil in these but diluted. The thing is the soot and carbon build up happens quicker. Especially if you run it on low or medium-low.
Won’t it melt that pvc ducting mate
No I have ducting tape on the entry one and the rest are fine. They get warm but never hot enough to melt or deform. The plastics on top off my Rv see over 140 degrees F in the summer when its 116-117 out a black cover can be 140+
@@johnnysweekends nice video mate it’s the best one I’ve seen dude 👍🏻
@paullynch1938 thank you 😀👍🏼
What's the little detector you're using?
This right here TopTes amzn.to/47Ojk9b
Propane leak detection
What size battery supply do you need?
12v 50 amp at least that way you have long run times.
Did you just zip tie the filter in between the line?
What filter? The intake at the bottom? It’s just a screen. It didn’t come with a filter.
@@johnnysweekends the fuel filter
@ORG4Runna oh yea, sorry. Yea zip ties on each side as the line is a real snug fit but otiker clamps are good or the screw down. It’s not pressurized as it’s just a gravity and vacuum.
You can see it in the video
The version that:s metal is less expensive and has altitude compensation.
This one has altitude compensation as well
Where can that leak detecter be found?
Here …amzn.to/3SvRGZ7
Besides Amazon? They rich enough!! Any local stores?
@mikeadams2339 Walmart
Or possible ace hardware or a construction type shop where supplies are sold are a gas fitter supply house. Could be a different brand ….
Thankz!
Is it loud or is it just me? Did it quiet down after it warmed up?
No it’s quiet im just next to it. It’s just a low roar really but inside all you hear is air blowing.
Can you have the heater inside?
No
@@johnnysweekends ?
This heater is not meant to be inside per the instructions
Your fuel is not perfectly clean. You don't want fuel to come off the bottom of the tank as that is where sediment and water will sit.
Very true it’s not clean but just seems the pick up was higher than normal
you should mention the psa regarding the plug choice. Super dangerous!!
did your exhaust pipe fit on the elbow? mine did not and hcalory has not been very responsive at all.
no fuel filter is fitted for longevity you should plumb one in, your choice if you want to replace the green squishy line or not seems 50/50
After these questions, I question if you even watched any of this video…..
Yup,that iec plug is a fire waiting to happen. I just bought this unit got it delivered two days ago I plugged it in and it looked like 4th of July in my garage, Sparks were flying everywhere. This model and the roll around toolbox model both need to be recalled
Wait so what happened with yours?
I have found no issues with this so far..
Not a lot of hours yet but I’ll be using it for a week in middle January and a couple other times later
Thanks for the tip. I ran it several hours on and off for a few days and no issues but will see how it does on the upcoming trip.
Thanks again for the tips. Maybe others will see this
How noisey is it and will it run on cooking oil
IDK on cooking oil, its not very noisy unless maybe you sit next to it but even then its a low roaring sound I guess
Question: We have the same heater newly purchased but it is not priming what are we doing wrong? help
Did you visually see if the fuel is moving from the tank to the pump then past the pump? Shutting off and resetting will get it to prime again. Also recheck the instructions
Hello thank you we primed it but that was after we emptied the tank so we can put in the fuel filter and we refill the tank it had been on already, so maybe we didn’t need to prime it twice after it primed we saw something leaking from the exhaust pipe my husband smelled it and it’s diesel leaking from the exhaust pipe
By the way, thank you so much regarding the primer not starting we actually just unplugged it plugged it back in and then it responded but was still concerned about the fuel leaking through the exhaust. We’re letting it run and see if it will just burn it off.
@Gibbowr80 it should just burn it off once it gets running but will probably smoke a lot for a couple mins
@@johnnysweekends thank you
Is there a way to change the heat setting to Fahrenheit?
yes you can
@@conniesquires3057 please elaborate if possible!🙏🏼👏🏼
diesel heater how long full tank?
I have a break down in the video how many liters a hr. All depends on on low , medium or high
$250? It better be better for that kinda money.
You're paying $100 extra for the box...
100$ extra? this whole thing costs 110$
@@adiq6360 they are $215 now.
Over priced doesn't come with everything
who needs a °F setting? time to get used to °C
Or stop BURNING STUFF and invest in Solar and Battery pack.
lol…you still need options, I have plenty of solar and batteries and once you have enough cloudy or rainy or snow days your gonna need items like these or yes a gas generator.
The app for this thing needs to be sideloaded. Never ever ever ever ever side load one of these Chinese apps onto your phone
