Thanks for that High tower , so I would be worse off with an immersion as it goes !
My diesel only costs £2.50 a day to run and I get an average of 50c all day long !

Are you going to put your diesel heater into production 😄 Hows it been working since your last upgrade?  Any other teething problems.

I am seriously looking at it to be honest , I have a different design that I am currently investigating.

The only issue was melting a glow plug the other day, but that was down to testing the limits of the thing , 70*c on demand comes at a price of a glow plug 50/60*c is tops to run without damage , that’s more than ample though I would say !

I bought a spare plug and spanner for mine as I was told the Chinese pins are crap but mine is ok still as it hasn't done lots of hours and only been used in the cold, they say the ebspchacher glo pins are much better quality might be worth a consideration.

The Chinese now make a copy or similar product, I asked this question on heater forum and the answer went over my head as I'm a thicko lol

Yes it’s true , the chinese do have this copy out now , I have not been able to get exact specs on it as yet , I assume that it will be pretty much identical to the top C  , and I don’t know if the bigger 9 Kw is coming too .
But it will probably need the same power draw and diesel as the Webasto , this was my main reason for my build , to cut costs and extra gear needed to get hot .
Plus , don’t forget that the Chinese hydronic heater will probably need the secondary water circuit too , not what I’m looking to persue
