- This is my unboxing and initial review of the hcalory HC-A01 diesel heater.
The Mr. Buddy Buddy Heater has been great but it's time for an upgrade to something safer and a little more practical.

Diggin the trailer! You’ve got a new sub!
Thanks! It's work in progress, but it's fun! Thanks for subscribing! I subscribed to you as well.
Hcalory (HC-A01)
It's a really good product
I'm using it, too
It's better to use a converter to combine the discarded waste exhaust heat with a hot water boiler
There are a lot of videos in my condensate
Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Way nice!!
That definitely looks like a good deal. And clean packaging!
It is and WAY quieter than I thought it was going to be.
Good video. I just came to your channel from VU.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
👍👍👍.Thank you
My pleasure
I've seen other videos that the green hose should be replaced with a thicker white hose
I have seen those reviews as well. It certainly wouldn't hurt, but I haven't had any issues yet.
Hell yeah
Nice vid mate, just got mine the only thing im stuck on is attaching the exhaust does it go on the inside or outside of the housing on the case as seems same size . How are you powering it im hoping to run off a cig lighter on power station.
Thanks for watching!
For the exhaust, on the outside of the box, I slide the exhaust pipe inside of the one attached. Try using a screwdriver to hollow it out a little. At around the 5:01 mark in my video, you will see me to it, although it's quick.
For power, I am running it off of a 12v cigarette style plug on my overland trailer, which has an AGM deep cycle battery, but I'm sure your power station will work just fine.
Nice god bless
Thank you!
Hi, Thanks for the video. What was the drill bit size for the fuel line hole?
My pleasure. Thanks for watching. As far as drill bit, I'm not sure. I guess I should have provided that information. I just started small and worked my way up until it was a tight enough fit to get the threads to bite into the plastic and screw through.
@@bargainmodder Good idea. Thanks.
I am having a hard time with mine. I bought a plug adapter to tie the positive and negative to the plug, and I blew the 20amp fuse. Jumped in between a 20-30amp fuse, still blows. Removed the plug at the end of the cables and just attached the positive and negative to my car battery. Still blows the fuse. Did you run into this issue?
Weird. I did not have this issue at all.
My recommendation would be to inspect your wires. See if something is causing it to short out. If nothing stands out from what you can see, you could always pop open the heater it's self.
I know these things seem to be hit or miss on issues. Hope you can get yours figured out soon.
does this heater comes with 120v plug or 12v socket ? do you have to purchase extra adapter to plug ?
It comes with a 12v wire with pig tails to connect to a battery. I purchased a 12v cigarette plug style from Amazon and wired it together so I can plug it into my jeep or overland trailer.
Subscriber 73 here for you buddy!
Thanks man!
I purchased this a week ago. However I'm having trouble with leaking when I installed the nozzle into the tank. At first I thought it wasn't tight enough, but it still leaks very slowly after tightening where the line is wet with diesel. Does yours leak by any chance?
Mine does not leak at all. Did you make sure the o-ring gaskets are on the inside and outside of the fuel line attachment on the tank?
@@bargainmodder yes i have both the o-ring installed. I also re-tightened and left it overnight, but the line ended up still wet to touch with diesel so there's a small leak coming out. As a last resort, i applied silicone seal around the nozzle outside so we'll see if that works.
@RobMascarinas that is odd. Hopefully, your silicone idea works. Best of luck! It's a great little unit.
Bonjour, pouvez-vous me dire si il est possible de faire fonctionner la valise couchée sur le côté? Pour mettre dans le double plancher d'un camping car qui mesure 20 cm de haut. Merci. Bien cordialement. Philippe.
Hello. I do not believe the diesel heater can operate on its side.
Exhaust pipe going upwards, many diesel heater videos condemn this, it suppose to results in some carbon cumulation? So would it be better to let the exhaust pipe to run downwards
Interesting. I'll have to look into that. This model is designed to route it the way I did but that's not to say it's correct lol. Thanks for the input! It's worth assessing.
Yea when I buy mine I will only put exhaust upright when storing it
What does the left down fuel button does? prime?
The small button on the bottom left?
I'll have to look back at the manual but I believe it's just to reset the fuel level on the screen.
Bought one and pointed out elephant in the room that nobody on UA-cam wants to show like the Controller isn't ip rated etc.
That's valid and I did not think to mention it. You definitely want to take the proper precautions to keep it dry.
no way on the plastic box unclosure
Curiosity... why do you say that? They are very common, and there are heat guards through to prevent melting.
