That looks good roy!

But diesel? How on earth do you rig that kind of setup up? Does it use the vehicles diesel tank? or does it have its own supply of fuel?

You can do both, you can have a small 1gal tank or tap into the main tank. A good garage would fit it. They use only a small amount of diesel.

Cheers roy.

As I plan to change my vehicle in the near future I would rather have a tin of diesel sitting along side.

Could I link it in to a sepperate 12 v battery instead of linking it into the vehicles battery? Or would it run it flat too quick to do it that way?

Buy yourself an Omnipole hot water unit. I had mine installed just before this weather dipped to below freezing. Perfect timing. Lovely having heat on tap when I fancy and nice hot, soft hoses ;D

NWH:
Dead easy to use the water heater. I posted the details in a previous thread to do with Ionic heater systems. Uses 1 litre of diesel an hour if running permanently. Can run it on red diesel for less than half the price. Heater dimensions are on Omnipole's website (takes up about 2.5ft by 2ft very approx.  The only thing you've got to watch out for is: if running your pumps and heater off of two 12volt batteries linked together via split charge relay and you're running heater and pumps continuously all day non stop then you will definitely have to top up, charge both batteries overnight because of the amps drawn fromthe batteries. The heater draws 6 or 6.5 amps an hour. Overall verdict on the heater: it's very good and simple to use.

A simple lit candle will prevent the inside of your van from dropping below freezing. Just make sure it's on a solid base, maybe in bowl. The seals around the doors and the floor aren't perfect so the amount of air coming into the van will ensure the candle remains lit.

Before any of you start screaming that this won't work, my Dad is a retired plumber and that's how they used to prevent pipes within complete roof voids from freezing.
Just like that

I am going to try that just to see if it works, I can see the logic.

Still need a long term solution.

How do Jews keep warm on a very, very cold day?















They light the candle ;D

Jews are meant to be tight :) (No offence to any Jews reading this forum) :) :) :)

The Jew gag is related to the candle heating the van :)

I think that is a total myth, I have many on my rounds, and are by far one of the best customers to have IMO.

I am guessing the post will be edited by admin. as not very PC  :-X
