Diesel Night Heater

Post by Baggycp »

Anyone fitted a Diesel night heater, Eberspacher or one of the ebay copies?

thinking of fitting for our winter surf trips so we can get chaned in the back of our caddy and be nice and toasty.

Any tios on where to place it, and taking off a fuel line from the tank? or link me to a thread if there is one.

All help much appreciated.

I had a Planar 2D professionally fitted to mine, under the false floor behind the drivers seat. The fuel line, combustion air and exhaust go through vertical surface at the back of the ‘footwell’ so it’s nice and tidy under the van.

You need to drop the fuel tank and install a standpipe in the fuel sender, which I wasn’t confident to undertake!

I think you can also mount a similarly-sized heater externally under the van, with an appropriate housing etc.

On mine, the air for heating is taken from behind the driver’s seat and the output vent is in the floor:
