Very interesting. You need to stuff a rag and/or insulation in the window opening. You're probably losing heat as fast as the heater makes it. I bet it will keep your shop warm enough.
Ive owned one for a year. Takes the chill off my fully insulated, attached garage but wont keep it warm in a canadian winter. The cement pad hold the cold alot. Make sure you insulate that exhaust as it really gets hot and aim it down so condensation runs out the exhaust. Have fun and be safe. Cheers
Don't have a specific concentration or mixture. just been burning with what I have. But definitely need to thin it out I just mix it with gasoline. Waste oil is to thick and it'll smoke and doesn't get hot enough to completely burn will get a lot of carbon deposit in the burner and you will need to clean it out once you can't get it going anymore.
Hi, I am Iris, working for VEVOR. I came across your channel and had a deep impression of your diesel heater video, which is quite professional. I would like to seek an opportunity to work with you.
I really enjoy listening to your voice. You have a great tone and delivery that I think would work well for my videos. Would you be open to the idea of me using it as a AI clone in my content? I think it could add a unique touch and elevate the overall quality of my videos.
Still going. Made a humming noise so I squirt a shot of brake clean into the intake and it back fired out of the exhaust and a bunch of soot blew out and was fine.
@@theoffroadingmechanic ok. Are you using used sythetic oil? Or non synthetic? If synthetic I promise eventually it will plug up and start making a mess. I have spent too many hours researching and trying solutions....there is another guy on here that got 100s of followers trying tons of things. Everyond gets away with it a while....then it plugs up because it leaves white build up in the burn chamber. I do not know about non synthetic. Good luck. Report back after 100 hrs run time! Maybe you figured it out!
I've been mixing everything from synthetic motor, oil transmission fluid, gear oil etc. I just thin it out with the stale gas I get from work. Eventually I'll have to clean it out theres no denying that but it's still going.
@@theoffroadingmechanic cool. Look up lowered expectations here sometime if you want to see what he learned. I would recommed buying a burner IF you rely on the heater so you can get ir back running quickly when it plugs.
I actually REALLY like that petrol pump - especially got an idea for using it at motorbike trackdays to fill my bike inbetween sessions! did it come with the valve to add 5psi to it or what?
The brass tire valve doesn't come with the fuel pump. I just found that it had the same thread as that brass fitting that goes in to the release valve on the cap. It'll be in the link to my Amazon affiliate store.

Ill be right in front of it most of the time but once that garage door opens all the heat is pretty much gone.

I been using a torpedo heater,for over 59 years and it runs on anything,but I use,mix of diesel and used motor oil.
what mix you use on the torpedo like 1 gallon of waste oil and 4 of diseal??
Run one for 2 years on 50/50 used engine oil and diesel , heats my home well
“I’m not drinking while I’m working” well that’s no fun
What’s the ratio you are using with oil vs fuel ?
I didn't measure anything just dumped it into a storage tank with whatever I can burn.
Other ppl have used 65% oil, 20-25 gas and 10% diesel. Always start and stop the heater on pure diesel
I love your channel!
When you started that I knew you were going to melt the window frame
do you know roughly the concentration of diesel to used oil? curious if the mix is fairly thick like oil or more watery like diesel.
Don't have a specific concentration or mixture. just been burning with what I have. But definitely need to thin it out I just mix it with gasoline. Waste oil is to thick and it'll smoke and doesn't get hot enough to completely burn will get a lot of carbon deposit in the burner and you will need to clean it out once you can't get it going anymore.
Would the heater run on bio diesel ? Like used cooking oil?
Haven't tried it with bio diesel. But you can try.

Hi how does that work? I recent just purchased another diesel heater last week from the vevor website.
I really enjoy listening to your voice. You have a great tone and delivery that I think would work well for my videos. Would you be open to the idea of me using it as a AI clone in my content? I think it could add a unique touch and elevate the overall quality of my videos.
can you translate to degrees please, as some of us are in the states
Thought I pop it up on the screen.
Seriously? Its easy as piss to convert it, wow!!!
Will plug up soon enough. Promise...

Please please vent it out and have a way to pull fresh air in. Can’t have you die on us bro.
Yea was looking for a longer exhaust to have it further away from the window.
That looks like a Hyundai/Genesis battery 😅
Yea it came out of a G90
First one here😊
Lol😆
