Grippatank 9kw

Your running new connect, so you will be same as me, in line  so you won't need worry about low fuel....!

Mr B

Regarding fuel lines, it's model dependant, some are in line like mine, some have to have a pipe dropped in to the fuel tank, obviously in line is better as you can run low on fuel, the drop in tank arrangement can be temperamental if you are quite low on fuel.

Mr B

What heater have u got brian? Same one? I wouldn't want to be running low on diesel. I'll always make sure I have at least a quarter of a tank left or else I won't get home either!  ;D
If in doubt.....Leave it out !!

Just a thought.

Can’t you run a small diesel tank in the van for the heater, rather than tapping into the van tank?

There’s a guy on YouTube who has done it this way.

I’m thinking of buying one from pure freedom and using a small diesel tank in the van. Not to keen on tapping into the vans fuel tank...

I want to sell my transit custom in 3 years (while it’s still worth £££) so don’t really want to be making many adaptions

Stop whinging, you can work in hurricanes but a little cold weather throws you, don't worry your £4.5k pair of Long Johns and
gloves will be here before you know it. lol.

They will probably set it up so it recirculates back to tank in fact I’m sure they will so it will heat everything up to temp before you start work,you’ll love it so much you won’t be able to turn the heat down 😂,good choice pal you won’t regret going hot.

Do you know how long it will take to heat 1000 ltr
A Ninja carpet cleaning machine holds 42 ltr and it takes 3 hours to heat the water from cold tap water to 100 c I tested it.

Gas or diesel is your only way. Unless you want to invent a heat exchanger that will heat up a small vessel from your exhaust system. Which I have thought about.

I use a 9Kw webasto hotbox which heats up my 850 litre Ionic Pro 5 system, which runs on diesel off the van fuel system.
I would say you need to have a battery which is tip top condition, as it can drain the battery with continual use, so I tend to charge the battery on occasions and also run the engine if doing a job for an extended period of time. It does recirculate into the tank, but takes ages to heat up, but I guess it would be dependent on the size of your tank and how long you operate the system for.

You can buy a secondhand Hotbox from a few places, including Ionic, but don't have anything less than a 9kw model.
