Chinese diesel heaters for enclosed sled trailer

[Dawizman]

Get a broom…. Sweep the snow off your door after loading sleds.

100%. Knock as much off the sleds as possible outside too.

Ha ha was wondering if you did anything DIFFERENT to prevent the top of the door from freezing.

 

[Cableguy]

i have used silicone spray in the past seems to help somewhat

 

[Bernoff]

Was thinking of trying to polish the lip like we used to do to the aluminum tunnels but might make it worse.

If its freezing there you have too much humidity I think. Fan for circulation? Otherwise try something simple like cooking spray or vaseline on the rubber.

someone's Chinese Heater DIY perhaps? I saw this guy in Frisbee staging area Sunday afternoon. Kidding aside, good thing no one got hurt when it happened, scary stuff

Diesel isn't volatile and therefore doesn't explode. Gas can too close to a heater likely, or a propane furnace.

One thing I learned in sex Ed is Vaseline and rubbers DO NOT mix.

Thats worth a try as well Thanks.

vaseline and "rub-her" mix just fine, just don't be in a rush.

Door seals are usually more butyl or sponge rubber, not latex......... LOL

You didn't tell me to rub slowly. Had to do the old defencive tackle hit to bring her down into submision on the weekend. You can't be leaving steps out on me Modman.

I found out the hard way that diesel does indeed explode if heated. I got a real nifty hair cut of every hair on my face lighting a wood heater once. Put wood in and a little splash of diesel and some got on the coals in the ashes, threw a match in and ended up with blisters all over my noggin

sure it will explode if you heat it....or pressurize it.....or both. I'd advise against doing either if you're face is near it. LOL . but at ambient pressure and temp it does not vapourize and therefore is not volatile like gasoline.

Had any of you guys tried to put in a fuel filter? Was draining tank and there was a smiggin of dirt in bottom.

 

[zal]

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Some of them on Amazon come with an inline filter.

 

[Cableguy]

mine came with a inline filter

 

[Bernoff]

Is it part of pump assembly or stand alone?

All of the ones I've seen are on the stand alone tanks, not the all in one units. Mine looks like this but its got a blue cap and a different screen. As long as it sits below the tank in a vertical orientation and above the pump so it won't cause it to cavitate, I don't see why you couldn't install one on an all-in-one heater. You might want something with a finer screen than this one has, more like a paper element.

ya just an inline i went bought some similar to it from princess auto after i seen it and put them on a couple other pieces of gas powered junk around the property

 

[Bernoff]

Ya we have all in one unit and only see the pump, no filter. Thanks for the advice.

Got mine installed today. Tossed in a couple 125ah AGM batteries, a 55a 12v charger / power supply, and a through wall power inlet.

Seems to work pretty decent. Tomorrow I'll go grab some pipe to run a perforated trunk line all the way to the back, and possibly a gear dryer.
