I had exactly the same problem I used dirty diesel after a couple of months it smoked and the stopped firing up it was simply the the the mesh around the glow plug and the little breather hole blocked cleaned it worked like a dream
I had identical issue, looking down where the glow plug fits it looks pretty gunked up with carbon, new plug and wire gauze plug element cover will fix it 100%
Well done for giving it a shot 👏👍 They were telling me when you run your heater for a short time,you should put it on the highest setting for 5 to 8 minutes to burn 🔥 any rubbish in the system.
Poor combustion, most likely due to the incorrect installation of your fuel line from the pump to the heater. The fuel line MUST follow a continual uphill incline from pump to heater, I noticed you have loop in your fuel line, this will be trapping air bubbles and will cause poor combustion. Also make 100% certain that your nylon fuel line is pushed flush against the steel nipple on the pump and the heater, if not, you will trap air bubbles. Air bubbles act like damper, and will cause poor fuel delivery to the heater.
I don't know much about diesel, diesel engines or heaters, but smoke that is white usually indicates water - possibly water in the diesel? I understand water can be condensate from within the tank. If so, you might be able to install a water filter for this.

The white smoke can also be from condensation forming in your exhaust tube or muffler…there should be a weep hole installed in your exhaust tube,
That's true...I did check for that....but looked like it was fine
Excellent video
@daveclarke5512 thank you...
