Diesel Heater on the move

Yuglamron · Guru

The UK based Eberspacher website of their diesel heaters say they are OK to use on the move. Also legal in most countries although they don't specify which ones.

No problem at all.

just remember to turn it off if you go into a service station so you don't become a source of ignition(the odds might be long but somebody wins lotto every week)

There is no naked flame with a diesel heater and I can hold my hand under the stainless steel exhaust pipe with comfort...........can safely drive with them working and refueling Tug is also safe. European trucks have them running continously, in their winter, to keep the cabin warm, the engine warm and the fuel in the fuel tanks warm.

I sure there is a flame contained within the heat exchanger where air is drawn in for the combustion process then passes out the exhaust if that is the case anyone fuelling up with petrol(or the vehicles on next pump) near the intake might get a big surprise

but I stand to be corrected

would a gas heater not have a flame burning to produce heat the flame is not exposed to the air in the van but works via a heat exchange the same as a diesel heater just different fuel

So easy to turn off when refuelling ..
.I make sure the LPG heater etc is turned off before moving..

there would be a possible source of ignition when refuelling near petrol bowser
