 ;D ;D ;D

Daz does make a good point though with the safety check .
I have no idea what it entails , being as the heater is an import which I don’t think carries a CE mark at present ?
I'm so lazy I'm getting tired of it !

If you lived in China it would be  ;D.. 
Why not just sell the info on how to build it ? what parts you need, where to get parts etc and a set of instructions.
This may be of help  ;D https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3D0rSm9tMLy9m9wJth7Fl7S/apply-to-enter-the-den

For testing purposes only - yes I would

I'm sure P&F wouldn't use inferior parts to allow diesel to leak out  ;)

Yeh, for a hobby I used to convert vans into campers and as long as the gas appliances had a been checked and approved by a corgi registered  engineer then I could sell them on, its only when I looked at turning it into a business that things became more complicated.

Are the heater units CE marked ?

if so then as said you could sell them as a conversion "KIT" - and that doesn't mean the customer putting the thing together - it could be fully assembled except for (arguments sake) an exhaust

at this stage P&F could be 'giving' these away for prototype testing with the price 'covering' the cost of parts  ;)

I should think many of those who paid 4.5k will be hoping for it to fail just again to justify there own spend

Exactly, these same guys were buying used Gardiner poles on Ebay for twice their new value, they wont even notice that your heater is cheaper.

not at all......if it works then it works....i cant see it being reliable though if its a chinese copy.....

if something sounds too good to be true it often is....

a guy in the gym bought a tv(55inch) for £200 from a guy in a van(retail nearly £3k!)......he got home and it doesnt work..... ;D

price higher/work harder!
