- Hopefully marginally better than the drivel on TV this Christmas. Marvel as I bodge together some parts to get the 24V pump working on the 12V heater.
Actual heater video to follow in the New Year.
Used to be Santa this time of the morning. Now it's David McLuckie.
First thing I watched this Xmas morning. You're the best pick-me-up! Please don't stop the experiments; we learn soooo much from your efforts. Like, make a safe space for the solering iron! I was worried you were going to burn yourself. Merry Christmas to you and the fam.
Me too. Merry Christmas
same hear .. he cracks me up when he gets cursing lol
I don't know what else he can do to experiment on these things,. He's tested everything imaginable so far ! :) Short of running them off hydrogen ! The man has even actually dissected them so we can see what they are like while running within with his see through cylinder head invention :) Merry Christmas to you and him :)
I like to use very thin solder and just wrap the wires, then touch the iron to it. Of course I dip the unsoldered wires in flux first. It's my lazy way
Smoking a turkey while watching you in your shed.
yay.. we have fire :)
Would I be right in thinking that a large tipple is in order.?
Bloody stupid autosprechen
Should have read
There is no sanity clause
Daft phone canny predict Scottish language
What am I doing for christmas? Watching a scottish guy having fun with a diesel heater, because santa isn't real and diesel heaters are more useful than a lump of coal in the stockings... :P
I wouldn't mind coal. Might consider picking up a ton next year for heating. If I read correctly it's 43$ a ton......
1.25 no doubt the television is shite 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@David McLuckie - Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! Really appreciate the hydronic diesel heater videos! That said, if you're looking to add aome additional content (in the near future) I would be extremely interested in seeing videos that show any/all aftermarket heater control units, which offer/feature daily or weekly 24/7 programable On/Off timer settings. Also would like to see any/all aftermarket 2-way remote controls that can operate the heaters from a distance via a keyfob or a cellphone... with and without the need for a SIM card. All the best to you and your family in the New Year!!
Well we should have a new controller for the Webastos to test in the new year.
Hey kids, come and listen Uncle David giving F-word riddled Christmas Rant! 😆💪
hes really good at that.
F n right
I had a Christmas pump this morning.....thats all I get nowadays
You’re Scottish. How can you nut be stubborn
Every time I get the iron out I try the big Clive method. I then proceed to burn my self and make a mess 😂
I get two channels of OTA crap TV. They were boasting new multicultural (Black Actors) Christmas Crap TV. Hooray! Multicultural bad acting!!! LOL
The TV has been worse this year than ever before. The BBC has been pumping out repeats all year and ironically it's not like Xmas every day. It's just watching BBC programs that we paid for many years ago. I haven't turned on normal TV on for years. It's like chewing gum for the eyeballs. I'm happy to watch Netflix & Prime. But it's most watching YT these days.
Hi, do you know what the best settings are for running a 5kw diesel heater on kerosene? It’s currently on 1.4hz 1500rpm, 4hz 4000rpm
I havent watch TV for 2 years now and I am so glad I stopped, there is nothing but lies and re runs of old rubish.
David i have been married for 36 years my friend i am always WRONG !
Merry Christmas and have a happy new year

Merry Christmas Luckie what's all this 24volt stuff got a truck we are all 12volt happy campers I was going to say you can put wd 40 in the intake side of the dodgy pump always works for me to free them up if your not to drunk by now to read this.
I use a big ball of Blu tac for soldering and tinning wires and other small soldering jobs. Stick it to the workbench then stuff the wire on top and solder away.#toptip
So this is a thought.. to take the exhaust pressure and run a hydroelectric generator it will work like a turbo just instead of water rotating it use exhaust gas to rotate it or it may even work on the intake side and that could help change my solar batterys just a thought I live off-grid and I've been thinking about it
You are the best, and I hope so, that next time I will come to England, I can meet you to have a nice talk, have a good Christmas to you and your family
David.im after a 12v water air heater for my boat,all the radiators are in which was from a gas heater.having trouble finding one,have you got any advice and a name
,great videos.
I have to say, I would rather watch you tinkering in the shed than watch the tv on xmas day. Utter shite on the box. Have a good one 👍🍻
Looking forward to the main video, this will be ideal to heat the garage and warm up water for washing the car :D
Merry Christmas David from the west coast of Canada enjoy your videos
am like you... don't watch TV either. Have a great holiday
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the cool vid!
17:10 👍🏻
All the Best. Keep up the good work.
Hot knife soldering iron 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello David.
I would be interested in knowing how many companies in China are the real manufacturers. Lots of sellers call themselves manufacturers, but they may be just assemblers of components. I think it would be a good selling feature to offer units which have had Burn In. I have had the DOA expérience already, it being a education, but can be a hassle if you really need it. I have come to the conclusion that new buyers should purchase 2 units. Save time and hassle, and still a deal, maybe.
That's a good question. For example (not picking on them) a certain fruit based phone manufacturer. They don't build all the parts, they just have them assembled. Does that then not make them a manufacturer? In regards to the heaters, you'd have the castings made by a specialised aluminium casting company, the motor made a by a company that specialises in motors, etc. Then you put all the parts together in your factory. If you are building cheap heaters you pick all the cheapest parts, throw them together and fire them out the door. If you make a higher quality heater then you go higher quality parts and test a heater before it ships. But I doubt any of them make all their own parts in house.
Someone once said
There is no sanitary clause
I was looking at using a relay to switch two smaller chinese pumps at the same time to power a Webasto.. as they're stupid money for a those pumps. Was able to find a Chinese version in the end..but it would be cool too know if it would have worked...hint hint 😅
In theory it should. Just need a T piece to tie the pumps together. I've found all the sizes of pump on Aliexpress.
Rather watch you then the tell a lie vision
Hi there… I going to buy one of these diesel heaters in a ready to go steel case to heat my garage.. and I was wondering about connecting the exhaust pipe to an old central heating radiator and getting some extra heat off the waste gases … I wonder how hot it would get ? A nice big radiator with pipe connected to the bottom at each end then out through the wall…
Yes, been sent a video of another viewer doing just that. Just make sure you have it at a slight angle so the condensate can drain out. Even if it only got warm, it's basically free heat.
Merry Christmas friend 🙏
With a strong magnet and a flexible arm with alligator clip to hold the wire to soldered wires.🤔
Yes. Except one of my benches is a stainless steel top and the others are wooden, so magnets don't stick. But a big heavy weight would work. ;)
David, did you happen to make a video on fan motor bearing replacement ?
No. :(
But I should have.
Hi Dave, I love to watch your experimental videos and the general just see if it does what it says on the tin. Having watched a few videos, I'm interested in how you wire-yourself-up? I noticed that you have a mic attached to the overalls and a fixed camera to wherever you need it, but how do you get it all recorded so soundly onto a hard drive? Do you have a screen somewhere, where you can see what you are doing yourself? I've done a few videos, but this is with a phone camera/video and I rely on the mic on the phone. Then there is keeping it all still and not waving about all over the place. So, please describe how you do it with all the wiring, etc. Please keep it in simple terms as you are talking to a bloke that has never had a CD player in his car, let alone a hard drive or music stick or whatever. I still play cassette tapes or just listen to the wireless. I'm a spanner/hammer man, so modern-day technical stuff washes straight over me. Maybe you could make a video on how you are wired up?
Cheers,
Armine John Hutt.
Well. :) The easy part is the hardware. I've got a video camera (Panasonic HC-VX870) and that records onto an SD-card directly. It's got a good sized screen on it I can flip around to see what my shot looks like. My microphone is a lapel mic plugged into a K&F Concept CM-10 wireless transmitter, the receiver is mounted on the camera. All sat upon a Manfrotto tripod they don't make any more.
The second part is the editing. Which I enjoy almost as much as playing in the workshop. I use Adobe Creative Cloud. Edit videos in Premiere and fix the audio in Audition. I've gotten fairly good at it, nothing too fancy though.
@@DavidMcLuckie Brilliant, thanks for the reply. I'm going to be looking into getting better set up in my own garage. Looks like I need to buy a few bits.
thanks as always!!
Have one of the Chinese diesel air/water heaters just like this heating my hot water (motorised ball valve, relay logic and thermostats to prevent disaster). Only part i dislike is that the controller has no ambient air thermostat, just 5 fixed power settings (unlike the other Chinese heaters). The awsome Ausi afterburner is not compatible with the 'ECU/heater board' unfortunately.
Does the controller used here have a thermostat, know where I can get hold of it or is it a cool DIY job of yours?
many thanks. keep it coming :)
This one no, just different power levels. You do have the option of swapping the entire ECU out for a stock version and then using the Afterburner. I'm sure there would even be a way to use the GPIO on the Afterburner to turn a water pump on and off.
Thanks for a quick reply.
Yer that's a good idea, just a shame my heater is so buried. Looking for an easy fix ;) thanks though!!
(that afterburner contrôler is pretty wizzy tbf)
MERRY XMASS DAVID !
👍👍👍👍👍
Which water pump is that? Iv been looking for a reliable one at a decent price. If there is such a thing?
@Ryan Did your pump come with the thick rubber mount? That wraps around the body of the pump and has a triangular rubber wedge you bolt through?
Was working on my camper project earlier today (xmas eve) and now watching your video on some overnight shift down time (I’m in the States).
You’re not the only one futzing around in the shop on Christmas. 🤙🏻
Merry Christmas to you. Nothing to do with this whatsoever, but…. All I need is the in and out exhaust gas temperatures for an EGR cooler being fed with water - @ approx 50 Celsius entry and 60 Celsius outlet - for a nominal 5kW heater. Any chance? Before the new year would be good.🙂. OK, s’pose I’ll have to find out myself? Merry Christmas, all the same.
Hi David hope your well. Can you answer me this question does the fuel pump shut off in the non powerd state against back flow. I have a unusual configuration that there may be a chance of a small amount of preasur to the fuel line before the pump and when not running will it leak in to the heater when not used .....any advise would be appreciated
Yes. The pump becomes a one way valve. When unpowered there is no flow.
@@DavidMcLuckie great because its linked the injector spill pipe return loop on my motorhome and I thought it was a most un orthodox way of doing but at least its filterd well lol. Runs mint when engine runing and while stationery. It's a first for me that I'm sure of.
Just a question unrelated to this video have you ever had the problem that iv got ....my diesel heater thinks and displays 3v under what the actual battery bank is ...
When doing nothing it will say 12•3 even when the batteries are at 12•8 on start up battery's drop to 12•4 but heater says that it's getting 9.4 -10v and will not start eo-1 code ...ok if I start van n split charger kicked in I'm still only reading 12.5 on the LCD not the same as the battery's getting 14.3 !!????
All wired correct ...any calibration I can do on the PCB ... potentiometer?
Keep up the great work always a joy to watch HELOOOOOOO
How far away is the heater from the battery, and what size cable are you running? If you unplug the big connector block and take a voltage reading there, does it match the battery voltage. I've had a few people have the problem of using a long length of thin cable and the voltage drop being large enough that the heater browns out.
@@DavidMcLuckie the cable is 4 feet of jumper cable ..ground and batt positive
Been installed for about 3 years the block connection says 12.66 as same everywhere just the heater display saying 12.2
U recon main board or display at fault ???
Just tried another display and the same happens ..voltage drops to 9.4 on the display and all 3 of my meters connected to different areas of wiring in the van all stay above 12v Im thinking now it must be the board in the heater ...
The new Fred Dibnah hope a TV production company catches you be lucky 😁
I loved watching Fred Dibnah with my Dad. We used to go on holiday and visit coal mines etc, great times.
Ah, that moment when you realise that you want a relay to switch 24v, and not a 24v relay - been there, done that, got the tee shirt 🤬🤬🤬
Merry crimbo, thanks for keeping us edutained (educated/entertained) over the past year. Best wishes and much more diesel burning for Hogmanay and beyond.
next will be when you have AVE check your assembly and workmanship :) Merry Christmas to you!
Merry Christmas mad scientist another great video .
Does someone know the model number of this heater? I've never seen a air + water combination
he reviewed it (or another water/air) ages ago from aliaba so its in his video library with a link that I use to buy my own (at own risk bla bla)
This is a new version, same idea but a few changes.
@@DavidMcLuckie It would be wonderful to have a disassembly & comparison video between the two versions - Is this new one an improvement ?
I've slowly been going through all your videos David, found your channel when I was having problems with my new all in one heater and found all the info on here that I needed so thanks for doing these and have a good Christmas 🙏👍
24volt relay shouldve been 12volt.
Cheers fer Xmas entertainment.
