Testing a $140 Chinese 8KW Diesel Heater #vevor

Btw these are nowhere near 8kW heat output, more like 3kW. That 8kW figure is misleading and the calorific heat output. I fitted mine today it's brilliant!

If it needs a car battery it must require a fair amount of amps which makes me wonder how long that battery will last. Is the battery under load constantly or is it mainly for startup?

How long will it run on one fully charged battery

Bullshit bullshit bullshit!!! A single car battery running 8,000watts will drain in less than 5 minutes!!!!

The shop heater in the wall you showed in the video, what are those types of units called? I haven’t seen one in years.

Title states it is a 8 KW generator. Does it generate this amount of heat?

We are on our second winter with this heater. We heat our front porch which has no other heat source. At -25C the porch gets to +12C .

How hot does the exhaust hose get?

My garage is 20 x 20 ft and insulated. It gets between 10 above zero anf 40 below zero Fahrenheit. Will this work ok? My garage is supposed to have a ceiling heater rated at 30,000 BTUs. These diesel heaters claim 27,000 BTUS. Is that a true rating and a close comparison, or not?

I'm gonna heat my small bed house with one

Be careful the exhaust systems it’s junk, but the rest of it really great

Need 12v battery to start"¿

I ended up going with a kerosene heater, no batteries or power required and its not a dry heat very good for my needs in winter around $70 from china will run for 22 hours on 1.3 gallon of fuel.

If you have it inside, you should lead the exhaust pipe and necessarily the intake pipe outside. It is about maintaining the balance of air pressure in the combustion chamber. If there is a strong side wind on the exhaust, the heater will not work well. But if the bottom is close to the outlet, nothing will happen because the same wind force acts on the inlet and outlet.

Great hack videos on the controller too. Change the output and the pump. Worth watching just for instructions.

If the power goes out while it’s running BE CAREFUL when you restart it. Mine floods the room with diesel smoke. Needs to shut down slowly.

Does the exhaust smell like diesel?

one year review. It rocks still! Buy it.

Can you run kerosene in it?

just showing voltage doesnt tell u how much power its drawing.

I like it because I don't get condensation in my tent. My big buddy heater is nice but tent will be dripping wet from condensation

wontan inverter change 110 v to 12 v ??

What size battery is that?

Can you use #2 fuel oil in it.

What is fuel container volume? What is the 12V power demand?

27,000btu is False or i didn't see it or ur just a Liar ???

Where is the 27,000btu heater ? All i see is a 8,000btu

Asian products tend to have poor to useless manuals. Sounds like it is not temperature controlled??? Just how noisy is it???

does it run on veg oil???

Sounds like trial and error to me but it seems like I have to do everything 3 times to get it right anyway 😅 thanks for the video & great comments as well.

tractor trailers at least the ones i have used have a diesel heater in the back , in the sleeper cab

got the Vevor heater without a case mounted outside my cabin. Got some issues with starting it after having it sit there for three months. I guess this is normal? seems like the diesel is clogging or something.

I don’t know what kind of diesel heater he has but I have an 8 kW diesel heater hooked up to a 6 gallon and when I run my diesel heater on full blast nonstop it takes seven days to go through 6 gallons of gas in my 30‘ x 15‘ camper trailer and when we have -30° weather in the winter time in the northern part of Wisconsin run on full blast in our houses basement so our pipes don’t freeze and it keeps it good 65° in our basement but when we heat our basement up 6 gallons of diesel fuel will only last 3 days on high

Think one of these would work to heat a greenhouse here in Michigan when its below freezing? Im considering this or maybe some kind of 55 gallon drum woodstove.

I will never buy another one. I couldn't get it started. I owned a heating company for 35 years. I never seen a piece of crap. The fit and finish was bad. You could not close the cover square.😢😢😢😢

Does it have a thermostat start which is auto on/off?

Yeah I live in Canada can't afford electric heater 220v , OK I'm sold thanks

Should work in clsss8 over the road trucks pretty well

i mounted mine on the rear bumper of my 28' travel trailer/camper and swapped the stock 1 gallon tank with a 5 gallon slim style military/jeep gas can so I'm not filling it every day/30 hours! by mounting it outside i don't have to smell the fuel.....i did extend the lcd control wire to mount the control unit to the inside through my tail light hole next to my window ac unit i mounted inside my camper.....if i could put pictures on here i would

how about using bio diesel? like sunflower oil?

I bought one and put it on my covered back deck. I ran the hose through a 3” hole I cut in the back door. Works great on heating the entire downstairs. Curious to see how much I save on my gas bill.

Why not 3D print or build some kind of cover for the intake fan on the back that converts to a 3-4 inch tube and run that into the camper? That way, you are still circulating inside air even if the unit is on the outside.
