VEVOR Diesel Heater 8KW DC12-24V Fast Heating Diesel Parking Heater with Remote Control and Square Color Digital Display

This thing puts out some heat! I wish there was an included way to connect it besides just bare wires, but it met the description. It's easy to set up, ran quiet and cool, and was very efficient. I like this design because it's not going to tip over ready. It does tick lightly, like others, but is very quiet after it reaches temperature. Read more

Got these for camping and they work way better than the electric heaters. Had to keep it on lowest setting to keep from getting too hot in the tent.1 tank kept the tent warm for 2 nights, approximately 16hrs before needing to be refilled. Black friday they were $80. Well worth it. These are going to be back-up heaters for home in case I ever lose power during winter! Read more

Edit 3 So here we are less than 2 full months later and the temp sensor also failed. Go to turn on and temp sensor is reading over 186 degrees at startup and all the heater will do is run a self test but not start. Cannot recommend these heaters at all unless you don't mind doing some work on them after purchase. I'm past the return date so I'm stuck buying parts for it unless I want a paper weight. Edit:2 After initially liking this heater a lot it quickly became a headache as seen in my review below. After taking the heater apart I found a leak that was causing extra fuel to run into the burn chamber and run below off the air intake. Replacing the clamps stopped the leaks as the old clamps were super cheap and over tightened to point the broke and wouldn't hold tight. Got it running again without getting an E05 overheating error but now it smokes a ton during start up and shutdown. Plus it goes into self test if you change the level down. I'm guessing I'll have to open up the burn chamber to clean it due to the extra unburned fuel that was leaking into it. It kept my area nice and warm during some 30s temps so it gets an extra star added. The fact that quality control is so lacking with the broken clamps and the extra effort needed to get it to run again is why it can't get more stars. Had it not had these (fixable) issues it would be 5 stars for sure. Maybe you'll get one of the ones made on Tuesday by the worker that cares and it will work fine. Maybe you'll get one like mine that will not be quite as cared for in assembly. Just know it works great when it works. Luckily it's a simple system and plenty of YouTube videos that can walk you through any repairs needed. Worked for 2 nights and now getting E05 error for over heating. Plus it looks like fuel is leaking from the inside and running down the air intake hose Read more

I really like the operation and efficiency of this Vevor diesel heater. I specifically wanted one that is compatible with the app I downloaded to my iphone. Some of the listings on Amazon from the Vevor store show the video of how to install the app although the unit itself may not be compatible. I needed this feature as I have the heater mounted outside of my truck camper on a hitch mounted cargo rack. Unfortunately the fuel pump stopped working on my unit after just a couple of minutes. It stopped clicking although the fan was still blowing cool air. I tried restarting several times. I decided to troubleshoot it and found the pump to have 2.8 volt pulses from the control board after about 1-½ minutes from pushing the start button. The control board was working however the pump had become stuck. The pump is 12v however with the high load of being stuck apparently was pulling down the pulse voltage. I then took the stuck fuel pump and held it in an inverted upside down position. I lightly tapped around the top of the cylinder with a small hammer. Using a 12v battery and alligator test leads it would then click when momentarily connected to the terminal. I think what may have happened is that the pump relies on the diesel for lubrication. With a new dry pump there may be some risk of it sticking before the entire internal chamber is coated. I know I have read that trapped air can create unlubricated dry spots and this is one reason for the tilted mounting of the pump. After reinstalling everything works great now. I think I will order a spare pump to bring along on camping trips as a replacement pump is only $20 or less. The pictures show how I mounted it on a Toyota tacoma with a soft top. The air duct goes under the frame and up into an area that used to have a small factory mounted storage box. The last picture shows the fuel pump removed for testing... Read more

Wonderfully effective and efficient heater. It has a 150w draw on startup and about 40w when running. It heats up my wife’s she shed like it’s nothing. It’ll run all day long on a tank. Parts are readily available for if it breaks. That being said it has some drawbacks. Initially, I set this up and it worked great. The next day I got an E-5 error code indicating that it was overheating. I ensured my intake and exhaust weren’t crimped or impeding airflow and found that the back of the machine where it draws air in was too close to the wall (about 1”) and was not flowing well enough. After fixing that it would throw the error code after about 30 min which is improvement but still not good. I then took off the large ducting on the heat output and it has worked great without overheating since. I don’t think my machine is defective, I think they are just incredibly finicky and operate so close to overheating that any minor impedance in air flow or ductwork will cause it to overheat. Don’t expect to run ductwork with these. Otherwise, we love it. For the price it is a great little heater. Just expect setup to take some effort. Read more

I bought this for my daughter for her "van life" travel to a warmer area than New England. She has used it several times and says it works great. She configued it to vent safely and remain stable while the vehicle is moving. She said its easy to use and is not terribly loud. Provides a good amount of heat and the size is just right for her vehicle. Its been 4 months and she has had no problems. Read more
