I drilled my initial holes for the exhaust, intake, and fuel line, then prepared the surface to mount the heating unit with aluminum tape. I did my best to fix this using JB Weld but with too many bends in my exhaust pipe and a low quality muffler made for a poor performing exhaust. The exhaust muffler this kit came with was a piece of crap and had air gaps all around the seam and the coupler where the exhaust pipe is connects broke off.

The green hose is flexy and can deliver too much fuel to the combustion chamber. If your kit comes with the green fuel line I would highly recommend replacing it with the thinner and stiffer white fuel line that provides a consistent fuel dose. This kit had a 5l fuel tank, the new blue lcd controller, and measured 28cm x 11cm x 11cm which was the size I was looking for.īuying this kit off Aliexpress was my first mistake, This kit came with a crappy fuel line and exhaust muffler. It looks like this kit is no longer available. I decided to go with a 2kw kit from Aliexpress based from a link from this YouTube video. I decided to go with a 2kw Diesel Heater since my minivan interior space is very small and felt a 5kw heater would be far more than neededĪfter watching some video’s and doing some initial research I found out that a true 2kw heating unit measures 28cm x 11cm x 11cm. The major down side to this propane heater is it puts out too much heat even on low and I need to constantly be turning it on and off to keep the small space in my minivan van from getting either too hot or too chilly. Sometimes I would connect it directly to my 1 gallon refillable propane bottle, fuel filter, and 4’ adapter hose and this was far more cost effective than the green 1lb bottles. I would use the 1lb green propane bottles just because they are more convenient but they certainly are not cheap.

I know there’s people in the vanlife community that will make a propane heater work but for me the heat it produced was uncomfortable, gave me a bit of a head ache, and emitted large amounts of moisture into my van. When I decided to do vanlife through the winter this year I realized that I would need a more sustainable heat source than my propane heater. Don’t make the mistakes I did! I have experience and confidence cutting holes into my minivan and making significant modifications but this project kicked my ass!!
