Awesome Diesel Camper Van / Workshop Heater

- I'm really impressed with this Awesome Diesel Camper Van / Workshop Heater which outputs 5 Kw and runs on very little fuel. Great cheap winter heater. The big question is are these Camper Van Heaters any good for Workshops? This cheap Chinese diesel heater is well able to heat a small workshop and can burn Diesel or Kerosene. It comes as a kit complete with digital display, hoses, fuel pump, tank and a key fob remote control. I was very impressed with the size and output of this well built little unit. For a small shed or workshop this could be a very usable solution for making heat that can fill the space with heat and keep you warm.
Setup is easy and in my opinion an economical way to heat a cold workshop / shed.

I've had my eye on those for a couple of years now. Every video I've watched people have loved them. I thought it would be a great additional heat source for our old travel camper.
Cheers!

Hi Martin. I have to admit that if makes a lot of controllable heat for little money which is really cool. I dont have a camper yet but one kinda features in the next video tomorrow. Thanks for commenting Martin Cheers Gerry👍👍
Be interesting to see your combustion analyser on it.
I put one of these in my van about 2 years ago. The thing is amazing. I'm going to do a review on it soon. Your mic pics up alot of noise from the heater. And can agree it's not normally that loud. I actually hear the fuel pump over the fan.
When I go to fly meets I sleep in my van and this stay on all night long on the thermostat.
brilliant vid Gerry great for the shed in the winter
How are ye Hoodie. 👍 Great little shed solution. Dry controllable heat, Small form factor and cheap to buy and run. Thanks for commenting Have a great one Cheers Gerry👍👍
Just bought one and installed one myself,the one I bought comes complete in a case and it's portable,much tidier set up altogether
Hi Billie. I just had a look at the one in a case and it does look better and tidier. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍
I was looking at one of these to heat my small workshop and looked for a review and found yours Gerry....I'm very impressed with not only the heater but your review of it, it's exactly what I was looking for, a concise to the point review and explanation, great presentation skills, so thank you. Sub/
a lot easier then a wood burner for some indeed.
Hi Erik. These are cheap and very easy to install. Certainly worth a look. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍👍
They can run great on used vegoil, they are not picky at all.
Looks like that would work great for my greenhouse
Hi Duke. They are easy to put together and cheap to run. Definitely worth it in my opinion. 👍 Cheers Gerry
Great video Gerry and just ordering a heater now 👌
Hi Amac 4691. They do seem worth it and make lots of heat. On the higher settings they will use some more fuel but can use less too if you don't need it going full belt. Thanks for commenting Amac Cheers Gerry👍
That’s just what I could do with for my garage. Cheers Gerry as usual some great content mate!
Hi Chris. I'm not sure how long these will last but for a 20 x 15 shed 5kw would be great. Economical to run too. Thanks for commenting Chris much appreciated. Cheers Gerry👍👍
GerrysDiy yeah for 100 quid it probably won’t last forever I guess, you get what you pay ...maybe one of your designs using an old gas bottle might be the better solution. I like the oil burners that you have built also....too ....need to do some thinking 😂 Great stuff though mate and always nice to chat with you buddy 😀
@@GerrysDiy i am sure here at 40 below, that bit of hat would do nothing
Very good gerry thumbs up👍🏻
Thank you Jason Cheers! Gerry
Had one of these in my outside office/garage for two winters now and it's great. Use the remote to turn it on half an hour before I go up and it's toasty. Might use a bit more fuel than you said, but still great for the price.
Hi iOutwrite. They seem really cool and affordable. I haven't run one myself yet so wasn't 100% sure on the burn rate but they still look worthwhile. Thanks for commenting, much appreciated. Cheers Gerry
Should design a small one for inside x paraglider pod. 😎
I've been thinking of using one of these in my off grid mountain cabin. It's only 525 sf. Even if I had to use two of them, it would be easier and cheaper than cutting firewood.
Hi Sven. With 5 Kw of heat and it being thermostatically controlled I think they are great value. They're really small too. I have made lots of waste oil heaters and wood burning stoves but these look very interesting Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍
I've got an 8kw one in a 40x16foot shop and it's great, takes about 10 mins to rise 1degree c in the shop... it's a great substitute for wood heat if I'm not in there for long...
Hi BigMr. It's great that you have such a big workshop and can be warm when you are out there. Thanks for taking the time to comment Cheers Gerry👍
Go raibh maith agat Gerry. Great vid, certainly a very useful addition to a workshop 👍🏼
Hi Vespa Morelli. Cathain a bhfuil tu. They do seem good and would certainly heat your wooden shed. Love the vespa. Thanks for taking the time to comment😜👍👍 Cheers Gerry
I'm really impressed with this small but powerful 5 Kw Diesel Air heater for the smaller workshop / camper van. Amazon UK amzn.to/2K9DUIZ .. Amazon USA amzn.to/2RFRfg8 Check them out here Cheers Gerry😀👍👍
Got one in my T4 van it's the all in one type. No more defrosting the winows in the morning lovely and warm for the grandkids to go to school. Cheap to run, I'm looking for a garage that sells red diesel around me but no luck so far.
I don't know where you are from, but here in the states red fuel is commonly known as "off road diesel". It is burned in farm equipment and construction equipment. It is illegal to burn in vehicles that travel the roadways.

Hi Robert. I had a T5 for a few years and one of these heaters going for a few minutes on a wet day in winter would have been great for clearing the windows and heating the van before heading off. Here in Ireland the rural service stations sell red agri diesel. I was using Kerosene in the demo and it worked well. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
Hi Martin. Its the same here in Ireland with the red diesel. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
@@martinbenton742 Thanks Martin as I understand it it can be used in heaters here in the UK they have to have a seperate tank. But not in road vehicles, refigerated lorries use it to run compressor's attached to the vehicle and pto type engines. Fuel tax in the UK is ridiculous.
@@GerrysDiy I forot to say I am getting one of the heaters you showed for my shed, started telling you about my t4 and forget. Kerosene here in South Wales is dearer than white diesel, heating oil I've been told works well but you can't buy small quantities. Veggie oil is to hard to light in the heaters. Thanks for the reply and putting the video up.
Those types of heater are great, but bearing in mind there is around 13kW/hr of energy in 1 litre of diesel I think the makers claim of 5kw @ 0.2l/hr is somewhat optimistic
Great little heater for my boat for autumn and fall, instead of using the big central heating boiler on my boat, would be even better if it could run on waste oil, as I'm on a terribly low budget, my retirement punishment. Atb, Peter.
Hi Peter. It's great that you have a boat to play with in your retirement. I will be making a smaller waste oil unit over the next few months but these diesel air heater things are so easy to setup and use. Too small for my shed but certainly worth a shot. Thanks for commenting Peter stay safe Cheers Gerry👍
@@GerrysDiy It's not really a boat to play with Gerry, that's not possible on my peanuts retirement pension, boats, or to be more precise barges, were my life and next year will be my 50th year of living on the water, I've never had a house. Atb, Peter.
@@GerrysDiy I look forward to the smaller waste oil heater. I have a single garage to heat, and a propane canister sized unit is a bit overkill. Was considering trying to make something out of a mini mig disposable gas bottle instead. Might live outside for safety, with an open vented water system circulating to a radiator inside.
I like your channel! I just followed the link to this heater on Amazon. Do you know that it comes with a "removable oil pimp" ?
Hi Brendan. It does come with the fuel pump and it is seperate and can be sited remotely. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍
@@GerrysDiy sorry Gerry I was just pointing out their spelling error which I thought was pretty funny. But I am so impressed that you take the time to answer the comments properly.
Will she burn waste motor oil?
Webasto and Ebespacher are the only safe bets when it comes to heater safety and after-sales service .I work on cruisers (boats) and these units under the by law would not be allowed for safety reasons and to finally finish when these chineese units break down and they will You bin them,But thats if they dont do serious damage before they shag up.Sorry for the spoiler but you cant expect a 150 pound unit to match a unit costing 15 times more and 20 times for the Webasto units.
Hi Mike. I don't have much experience of these units but for the price and the economical running they might be worth a look. If they burn the place down, obviously a different story. Thanks for commenting Mike Cheers Gerry
anyone tried one of them with water or veggie oil?
Hi Tech Maniac. I think that veggie oil would gum it up. Kerosene or diesel are much purer fuels. Cheers Gerry 👍
I have one of these in my workshop, it will use much more fuel than you say, on full heat mine uses more like 3/4 of a litre a hour . These also suffer from clogging up if used with red diesel if run below full heat for any amount of time . No where near the quality of a eberspácher , but also no where near the price either !
Hi Steve. I am new to these units and appreciate the information. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍
Check the duty cycle on your unit. The Chinese have put new much much cheaper units on the market with which I am not familiar. The style however is the same as the Espar etc. we used in boats and trucks. The Chinese also make gasoline heaters of the same style. The Espar and like kinds were several thousand dollars and designed for a 600 hour life. Something that was useless for real heating and or costly. Toyotomo made one that was of that size that was about 2 thousand dollars and vastly superior. If the Chinese are at all good they would be a great deal. Careful about who you order from though they can cheat you and often do. These style of heaters have been used in sleeper trucks, campers, boats etc for forty years that I know of although I had never seen a gasoline version until the Chinese came out with one. I would be interested to see how it actually performs. The biggest thing is the yearly clean out of the unit as recommended. Good video topic. You can find several reviews on You Tube. Take care. Doug
Hi Doug. Thanks for taking the time to write this very informative piece. Great info!! Stay safe Cheers Gerry👍👍
But will it run on waste oil? 🤔
karaseen is far from cheap any more, you use to be able to buy it by the gallon, out od a pump at a gas stasion for $0.80 cnd per LT. or years now you can only by it in hardware stores by the LT. for $6 cnd. BY THE gallon for $18, or 20 Lt jug for $72 cnd. these prices jumped some years ago with the portable karaseen heaters that came on the market, they were not that potable as the were like a meter long. 60cm high and 30cm wide and about 15kg, they have faded out in the past 3 years but the price of karaseen has not come down, in fact it still going up, why the heater have fadded out, was due to the cash brab of the fuel they use. even tho they would run 12 to 16 hours on 4 Lt
Am I the only one who finds this thing really noisy? and that click sound? really ???
Hi Kieran. It's not silent that's true but some of the noise depends on how the unit is mounted especially in a camper where the panels will amplify the noise. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍
