Ready to upgrade your diesel heating system? In this video, I take you through the process of a DIY diesel tank upgrade for my mobile heating box, making it last 4x longer! This step-by-step guide shows how I replaced the original 2.5-liter tank with a robust 10-liter fuel canister, ensuring extended heating performance in even the harshest winter conditions. Whether you're managing an outdoor kitchen, improving your diesel parking heater, or optimizing your outdoor surveillance setup, this project will inspire your next upgrade.
Here’s what I cover in the video:
✅ How I swapped the 2.5-liter diesel tank with a larger 10-liter canister for longer heating intervals.
✅ The components I used, including a high-quality fuel hose, robust metal pickup set, and an efficient fuel filter.
✅ Tips for ensuring airtight construction to prevent harmful fumes from entering sensitive environments.
✅ Insights on the vent valve design for smooth, hassle-free fuel transfer.
✅ Real-time testing of the upgraded diesel heating system to ensure reliability and efficiency.
This upgrade has transformed my heating box, providing warmth to the animal house even in -20°C temperatures, while keeping my budgies safe from toxic fumes. If you’ve been searching for ways to improve your diesel heating system, this video has all the answers.
