Its an eberspacher diesel heater, the orange thingy is a 2 gallon outboard fuel tank :wink:

 

[Cali_bay]

Thanks for that.

Liking your new motor by the way 8)

what sort of noise does the heater make?

i was thinking of switching from propex to a webasto or eber. diesel as its easier to carry fuel. i was a bit worried about the difference in dB, im a light sleeper

 

[slammedresto]

its not that quiet, but warms up quick, and you can set the timer for when u want it on, will try to get a video at the weekend

 

[easy]

could it be fitted in the engine bay ?? looks nice and small.

 

[slammedresto]

actual heaters quiet enought, fuel pumps a bit noisy, but will move that to the outside/chassis at some point

exhaust is noisy, but quiets down if you use the SS silencer, whuch i have

from the outside when running it reminds me of a 737 idling :mrgreen: not so noisy inside :wink: The heater sure confuses the neighbours when i leave it running.........lol
