@@sherburnoutdoors Agree and as you had it in the video, the 'thin' edge of the exhaust you'll see has a hole in it which drains any moisture from the line, hence the continuous down slope from heater to outlet. The other 'thin' side has the mounting rivet hole. Great video and I've changed my brand on 'low noise' pump I was planning to order to the one in your video.
I got that pump and have the same heater as y'all. I also purchased the silicon boot thats encloses dose pump. I suspended pump with nylon ties to eliminated the transfer of any noise to heater cabinet. I dont hear pump after 2 minutes of operation. This is 2nd season with it, already used it to heat 2 car garage this year, still silent! Happy Trails!
Michael what part of the country are you in? I'm thinking about using a diesel heater to heat my 2 car garage but I wonder if it can keep up in a Minnesota winter.
I used header wrap that I use on my Harley. You can touch the exhaust pipe and it is just warm. The best way to use the heat wrap is to soak it in water to keep the glass fibers from getting on you.
I did that on an 8KW diesel heater with a couple of layers. When the heater is on full it still gets too hot to touch and will melt plastic. Maybe the stuff I used wasn't as good as yours?
Exactly. I soak it in water before wrapping headers on hotrods. I think it wraps tighter and looks nicer when finished. It seems like water makes it more flexible like a wet lubricant and it helps keep those fibers from breaking.
Great info on the fuel pump, thank you. One thing you should be aware of when using an infrared thermometer is that they work by detecting infrared emissions. Not all surfaces are equal in this regard. Shiny surfaces are notorious for lack of emissivity. Flat black and strangely enough water work very well. Do a quick Google on infrared emissivity tables to shed some insight into their accuracy on various surfaces.
We have an Eberspacher diesel heater mounted underneath our VW T5 camper van and in the handbook it describes the pump as “near silent” I can honestly say that I’ve never heard the pump either inside or outside the van, just shows that these pumps can be very quiet 👍🏻🇬🇧
@@steveffuksake Eberspacher was recommended to me by a former HGV fitter and parts supplier, he said they were very reliable and parts were readily available it also helped that we have a main agent fairly local to us who did the installation. It was not cheap (£1500 fitted) but I’ve not regretted it.
Could you wrap the fuel pump in Rockwool? it does a great job in my living room walls for noise reduction. And a combustion rating of over 2000 degrees.
I'll check out the quiet pump, thank you. Would have appreciated a temp check after the black tape. In my case the tape just conducted the heat right through, maybe a drop of about 10 degrees was all I got. Used about 1.5 inches thick white fiberglass heat wrap and down to 73 degrees. (touchable)
i got rid of the noise by setting it up outside my man shed and putting the heat hose in through the wall.also point the hose down so condensate does not build up
i love that clicking noise, makes me know that heater is working :) and wrapping exhaust aint a good idea...unless you change it with proper one, those chinese pipes are so cheap that will simply burn down and closing heat inside will just speed it up....
I removed the step cover on my citroen relay van...ran fuel line directly to diesel tank as the one supplied others said leaked...located underneath passenger seat...mounted the fuel pump on side of step..also left bulkhead head in not a sound.
Fired heater last night, loud tick from pump but didn't realize what it was at the time. Removed cover today, fuel line taping in cover, also noisy pump. Left over batting insulation beside heater from previous owner, stuff some around pump and fuel line. Zero tapping once heater is running. Will likely re route pump and insulate with board foam but atleast we know insulation helps a ton.
Ran heater for 20 mins during day to see if any parts near pump get warm or hot, everything was cool to the touch so in theory it will work but not the safest. Ok for a quick hack until you can relocate.
i built a waterproof wooden box, with lift up lid... That sits around the back of my workshop... I cut and extended the wiring to the control screen, so that the screen is on the wall inside my workshop, and the heater is outside... Powered by a car battery, constantly on trickle charge... and just drilled a hole in my workshop wall to put air vent in... So i hear no ticking :) Not an issue for me
Hi,do you think the fuel line is way to long ..Sometimes it takes a couple of goes to start,to much air in line.thinking of making it alot shorter.....THOUGHT,S
In 2 separate installs, one a Chinese and the other a Webasto, both pumps were quieter at the higher setting. It is a faster "click", Not as loud and not as noticeable.
You could probably also blimp the intake with some kind of wadded mesh in a mesh bag. It'd have to be loose and not get in there, so it could get a little big, but it would probably quiet it a good deal.
My tip : If you want extreme quietness for the pump > Rubbized spray (tape off the connection wires) Then a pool noodle with zip ties. The rubber spray effects the amount of metal sound coming out And the foam noodle masks what is left from traveling further..
I have my pump suspended by a couple of elastic bungee chords. This is on a boat and is still mounted so will not swing about. The chords stop the pulse communicating itself to the infrastructure. Can hardly hear the tick at all. Would be silent if I wrapped the pump with insulation but so quiet I've not got round to it.
What kilowatt heater did you put that pump in please let me know I can't find one for a kilowatts I'm not sure if they're all the same or not may have to have a bigger one for the 8th to pump more fuel
ran the exhaust through a radiator and get more heat, also brother when doing exhaust wraps wet the soak the cloth and then wrap you get a tight wrap that will not come undone. great video thanks for showing that an after market pump can take away the tick tick tick.
I bought a 3M long extension and ran it along my garage wall, by the end of tbe exhaust it's cool enough to touch, all that heat is going into my garage instead of outside. Nice efficiency boost.
Make a box out of foam boardand just sit it over top of the heater with the intake and exhaust outside the box. I do it with all my generators and it eliminates 99% of noise. Slide that thing under your vehicle with that insulated box over top of it and you wount hearba single sound other than the blower fan.
Yup, you are right, if people would look on the muffler there is a weep hole on the bottom for this purpose, but who pays attention to details. I've seen some installations where they put the heater in a plastic box and have the burner air intake inside of the box. Sure it will work, but any combustion loves cold dense air to burn efficiently.@@andymccall6861
I screwed foot extenders to mine to get rid of burning issue; also helps keeping exhaust pointed down. Wraps only help marginally. If running outside; the old trick is to drill a 1/8 or smaller hole on bottom of pipe by outlet if you need to point up; lets water drip out and increases flow.
Does this new fuel pump compatible with all Chinese diesel heater on the market, and what is the difference between the advanced and general model? Thanks
I first installed a espar heater in my 1998 peterbilt back in 2001. The espar heater was the original, these cheap Chinese heaters was modeled after the espar. I slept under that heater thousands of times in the 17 years I had the truck and not one time did the clicking ever bother me. In some ways I found it comforting, knowing it way 17 degrees outside and my heater was clicking and humming right along. Sad the espar heaters were about $1600.00 even back in 2001 and they are real close to being the same heaters but a huge price difference.
Hi - great video, want to install a Deisal heater but have the same concern of the pump noise. A couple Questions, is the unit you modded a Vevor? And what power station are you using, I have heard the Vevors need 15 amps from the 12 V to start reliably (Most Power stations I've seen like Jackery et al are 10) Thanks!
Great video & thanks for sharing. How loud is the pump not that you have been using for a while. One of the review comments said it started quite and then got louder a few weeks later.
Fun fact: The exhaust "muffler" is not a silencer. It's a condenser and it do not damp the sound. It's possible to get a real silencer as a little muffler or as a muffler hose.
@@MikeR55 I think you need some way to get rid of the moisture that comes when the fuel burns. So it must depend on how the exhaust system is made and is it possible for the moisture to run out of the exhaust pipe. I have seen a solution where the exhaust pipe had a small drain plug since the condenser was not used. I think i will use it but i have also 2 meter long exhaust silencer and also a real silencer. I'm still in the project thaughts and have not installed my Diesel heater yet.
@@robina.jensen6114Hi, i just bought one and wait for delivering it, im also thinking of adding a real muffler on it. I've got one from a 30-50cc 2 stroke old grass grinding machine. I think it will be better than the original. I could also make a small hole under it in order to drain any water ..
The ticking is often not the pump but the fuel line tapping against the housing. What pump dit you get 16ml..20...24? Or you you just bought 'a' fuel pump?
Heat tape wrapped around an exhaust can lead to cracking because of too much heat retained in the pipe and then the cooling after shutdown. How has this fared with this?
Not sure that the pump is actually any quieter. I hear the pump when the heater is on low. When it's on full, the noise of the pump is drowned out by the exhaust noise. What do you think? I am going to put some foam insulation around the pump and see what difference that makes. Either way, I would rather be warm.
Ha ha you learned the hard way about itchy hands and fibreglass exhaust tape, always wear gloves before applying exhaust tape. May I suggest that you lower the exhaust silencer as it has a condensation drain hole in the bottom of it , your exhaust will last a lot longer. Im running two over the winter here in the uk one in a static caravan and on on the side of the house, its saving a lot of money burning kerosene instead of diesel in them.
Would wrapping the exhaust in heat tape prevent the natural heat radiation from the exhaust, in turn making the housing hotter? Even if true, I've heard that some people like to run their housings hotter, as they say it lowers coking (suit) in the chamber.
Hey I have the 5kw all in one vevor diesel heater and I changed the fuel pump but the one you recommended is still very loud… is it possible I installed it incorrectly?
Just add some used filtered cooking oil (up to 70%) and the higher viscosity will make the clicking almost silent. Best way to prepare the cooking oil is using some pork gelatine desolved in boiling water, add it to the used oil and mix it. Let it cool down, and most of the gunk will settle at the bottom. Use the clear oil on the top and filter it.
@@troy7124 It is for sure not recommended, but I have run it like this for 1 and 1/2 season, with no big issues. For me, it has been a great succes, considering the heater was only 120 euro. Diesel prices here (Europe) are insane, so this is a cheap alternative. I am sure I will need to clean it more often and it will need more regular service intervals, but that is a risk I am willing to take.
Really so its that quiet? Some Amazon reviews saying its Louder then stock pump & one said the seal blew off the pump & sprayed Diesel every where. Been wanting quit pumps, But they all have such mixed reviews regardless of the brands.
Pump is noisy. You can hear it ticking away when he was outside next to his green shelter. Camera picks up the ticking better than your ear. Camera doesn't pick it up after different pump. I say this is pretty good.
are you running it off a 12v 10amp socket? just got a power station and im using an inverter as my 8kw draws about 150W on start up and theoretically shouldn't work
Hi, I can't find your link to the new pump anywhere in your vid post, any chance you could please add a link in a quick reply here, sorry to be a punishing viewer. Great vid, thanks.
Hi, Nice video! I’ve got a question for you, did you had any smell from your unit? I have just bought one and it smells like burn rubber. Thanks for your time
The ticking isn't even really the pump it's the water hammer effect moving through the line etc. I've been able to get my factory one almost this quiet just by placement of the pump and lines.
Unless you intend to kill the heater, the exhaust should gently slope downwards, the muffler as a small hole in the bottom to allow condensation out. The exhaust tube will crack if you keep bending it in different directions.
@@sherburnoutdoors You would have been real fun to be around on an aircraft carrier if all it takes to keep you awake is a tick 🤣 I have a diesel heater and my grampa's windup alarm clock was louder.
You need to have the pipe facing down to stop condensation in the exhaust which is acidic

@@sherburnoutdoors Agree and as you had it in the video, the 'thin' edge of the exhaust you'll see has a hole in it which drains any moisture from the line, hence the continuous down slope from heater to outlet.

What brand is this heater??
Vevor
fyi ebay is where to buy them. Cheaper than from China directly and wayy cheaper than amazon
Really so its that quiet? Some Amazon reviews saying its Louder then stock pump & one said the seal blew off the pump & sprayed Diesel every where. Been wanting quit pumps, But they all have such mixed reviews regardless of the brands.
It was way quieter
We never got a chance to hear the pump. It was just talking. :)
the :50 second mark if you payed attention by any chance
Agree, he totally rushed that part of the video... maybe he gets a really nice kickback when ppl buy the "slightly quieter" $50 PUMP ? lol
Just shows don't buy the cheapest heater, pay more get better quality
Pump is noisy. You can hear it ticking away when he was outside next to his green shelter.
Camera picks up the ticking better than your ear.
Camera doesn't pick it up after different pump. I say this is pretty good.
Exactly, dude doesn’t shut the hell up to let anyone here anything!!! Totally Clickbait BS
are you running it off a 12v 10amp socket? just got a power station and im using an inverter as my 8kw draws about 150W on start up and theoretically shouldn't work
Yep, 10a
and doesnt draw over 120w?@@sherburnoutdoors
On startup at the beginning gets around 125 to 127
right - that exceeds 12v at 10a...you'd think it'd blow a fuse. interesting. Not sure I will risk it.@@sherburnoutdoors
@@RyanGold19 have had probably 10 trips at 20 degrees with the heater and power station, never had an issue
Hi, I can't find your link to the new pump anywhere in your vid post, any chance you could please add a link in a quick reply here, sorry to be a punishing viewer.
Great vid, thanks.
Pumps are noisy at low hertz and most quiet at his setting h6
They are but this replacement pump I put on is quieter
Banging noise! ROFL NO it is a ticking noise. Glad you got it sorted out for your rabbit ears. ha ha
Good news, pump is $15 on ebay now.
great video
Thank you very much!!!👏🙌👍
Hi, Nice video! I’ve got a question for you, did you had any smell from your unit? I have just bought one and it smells like burn rubber. Thanks for your time
Let it break in
@@sherburnoutdoors thanks! 👍🤘
I had ruber smell so I return the unit
The smell goes after a few days on high
Good job... 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks

Silent Pump for Diesel Heaters - test / review by David McLuckie
$50 Dollar one ? That's the 2/3rds price of the Heater.
I just bought one with water separator for $15
The ticking isn't even really the pump it's the water hammer effect moving through the line etc. I've been able to get my factory one almost this quiet just by placement of the pump and lines.
Unless you intend to kill the heater, the exhaust should gently slope downwards, the muffler as a small hole in the bottom to allow condensation out.
The exhaust tube will crack if you keep bending it in different directions.
Where’s the link for the diesel pump.?.
In the description
Exhaust heat tape will shorten the life of the exhaust pipe by 70%. Insulating the fuel pump will shorten its life by 50%.
Never. NEVER EVER run the exhaust uphill. NEVER.
The ticking doesn’t bother me
Drives me crazy
If that's all it takes to bother you I'm assuming you must live in a very quiet area. You surely don't live in the city.
It was loud, and yes live in the country
@@sherburnoutdoors You would have been real fun to be around on an aircraft carrier if all it takes to keep you awake is a tick 🤣 I have a diesel heater and my grampa's windup alarm clock was louder.
