I really don't begrudge paying what I did for a diesel heater. Yes the gas ones are really cheap and I'm sure they are very good. Would I like to use one in a vehicle with a gas bottle? Only if there was no safer option.
I use to use a zodi hot tap heater with the gas stored outside the van while the unit was alight. I was never keen on it, but it was a means to an end.
Now I can leave my heater on whilst I'm driving if I want (safe) to pre-heat my tank if need be. I don't bother as I only use it on-demand whilst I'm cleaning the windows, cladding or whatever. I can leave it on for hours if needed whilst in use. If the unit should overheat, it will automatically cut out and there's no need for me to run back to the van and worry about the heater being damaged, just re-set the trip switches. Peace of mine.
If my heater packed up and I had to buy another heater I would still buy another diesel heater. It's a bit like the difference between an SL-2 and an extended Harris pole. Both poles will do the same job but they are so different in comparison.


cant knock the mans logic diesel or gas its bit like ladders or wfp
suppose its how you value your safety.
somebody mentioned gas and caravans yep it is used in them but
everything is installed by professionals and majority of sites now insist
on a gas check at least once a year by again a professional so it is covered on the sites insurance

makes you wonder what would happen with if one of these
home made systems came a cropper how you would stand with your insurance

That video clip is of oxy acletylene which is in a different league to lpg in the terms of the damage it can cause and the precuations that have to be taken in handling the two gases. Lpg cylinders can be involved in fire and not explode they have in built safety features to prevent explosion and will vent off the gas when the clylinder is exposed to high temperature. My point is that for the clylinder to become dangerous it would have to be in an circumstance which was  in its self dangerous, however i agree the clylinder being there would add another hazard.

Butane is common in the UK as our winters aren't too cold. Propane will continue to work even when the cylinder is exposed to -20 degrees.
Basically the 2 are interchangeable on most appliances tho.
