Why to you think that? Used it already in freezing temperatures. Operating temperatures should be down to -45 degrees according Autoterm. Looking forward to your opinion
Because diesel starts to gel up at 10° to 15° F. A pump located on the outside of your rig and exposed to the temperatures is far worse than having it inside. You are better off keeping it inside and isolating it in a small box lined with Dynamat or some other isolating material
@@kp5778 I can confidently say that you are incorrect. I've been using mine with the fuel pump mounted outside and we got down to -37 C (-52 C with the windchill) a couple nights ago, and the pump ran without issue. Now, I have my fuel tank mounted inside so it only has to get down the short fuel line into the fuel pump which isn't far enough to gel it in any conditions. But diesel trucks are the go-to vehicles for Northern climates, in places that get much colder than they do here, and this gelling issue you speak of doesn't cause issues for them either. I've worked in the patch in these conditions for years, and diesel is fine in the cold for any fuel pump be it in a vehicle, heater, small generator, you name it. Diesel gelling is 100% not an issue whatsoever.
I like your setup. Came across your chanel because I am looking for an idea for a hidden shower.
Good job 😊
Thanks :)
That's great as long as you're camping in an area that is above freezing. That pump isn't going to work if it's below zero

Absolute rubbish!!!
@@3dtecstudio Wrong... been using my diesel heater mounted in exact same configuration in temps way below freezing for weeks at a time
