Diesel Heater All in One 5KW-8KW 12V/ 24V Diesel Air Car Parking Heater with Upgraded LCD Switch Display and Remote Control, Fast Heating, for RV, Garage, Car Trailer, Truck, Boat-White

This heater was a game changer for me. I have an outside office I use for business. Typically I would need to run a heater at full 1500 watts to keep it warm during the cold seasons - often tripping breakers and running up my electric bill. I purchased one of these after reading reviews that spoke highly of them. At first I was a little skeptical of just how much heat this would generate since it only had one output port. After filling it with automotive quality diesel I fired it up and after about 5 minutes of running I couldn't even put my hand in front of the heat vent! Now this does need vented OUTSIDE as it burns fuel and needs to be properly vented. The only disappointment was the controls for the device. It is remote control from a small handheld keyfob or all the functions but one lacking feature is the ability to turn OFF the unit once it reaches ideal temperature and then kick back on when needed. As it is, the device goes into a "low" mode, but still pumps out heat albeit at its lowest setting. Even this was to much to leave running in my space and quickly made it too warm for me. Outside of this small shortcoming, the device is awesome. I purchased one 5-gallon container of diesel and it lasted me all winter long. YMMV.

I used this diesel heater on a camping trip where the evening temperature was around 30 degrees F. On low, the heater kept my lightly insulated tent 63 degrees F and used about half a gallon of diesel in 10 hours. If I had routed the air intake inside, it probably would have been warmer, but 63 was plenty warm for sleeping. I look forward to taking this ice fishing so the kids will be warm without making the tent wet from propane.I have not had any issues with error codes or leaks. The fuel line is the better white/clear solid line. The remote works well and is nice to have when you don't want to get out of bed to change the temperature. I purchased a second Likaci to help warm the garage. Same deal. No issues. Fuel it up, connect to a deep cycle boat battery and press "On". Keep exhaust outside and away from anything that can ignite or melt. Put your battery on a charger once in a while to top it off. These use most of the battery at start-up and shut-down.

The media could not be loaded. I fired this thing up for the first time in my garage with my cat and 1986 Mustang GT convertible in there ,and stayed til it was up running. It seemed fine so I left it on the timer so the cat would be warm through the night. I checked on it 5 hrs later and immediately smelled burnt wire! Needless to say it wasn't running anymore , only used about 1 cup of diesel and would not turn back on. As you see in the video this was the result. I'm very lucky I didn't have a garage fire plus this was right next to the diesel fuel tank!!!. Just beware , the only reason I'm writing this is only because it might save a family from a very bad fire.

2nd UPDATE:Manufacturer sent me a new heater, this one works perfect. They sent me a ups label and shipped a new unit out as soon as my return shipment was trackable. I received it 2 days later. The only odd thing was that I had to use the messaging system on Amazon to get this done. I rate the customer service from the manufacturer as stellar. As far as the heater, these things work great. I use it to heat my garage. It holds just about a gallon of fuel and on the low setting that will last about a day. Uses far less fuel than my torpedo heater with and almost no noise. Also the torpedo uses far more expensive kerosene and stinks. I would have given this unit 5 stars if I didn’t have to return one. If your going to buy one, don’t be afraid of this brand, there is support, you just have to use the Amazon message system.1st Update, I added one star as the seller has contacted me and is offering to replace the unit. We will see how this goes.Original review.I installed this and it worked great with the exception of exhaust smell in my garage. On startup I noticed smoke coming out of the muffler which is in the middle of my exhaust pipe. I went on vacation and when I got home I decided to move the muffler to the end of the pipe which is outside the building. Still smelled exhaust. It’s been a warm few months so I did not use it but now it’s getting quite cold. Retightened all exhaust clamps and started it, smelled exhaust. Investigating I found the smell to be coming from the heat output port, not good. Took the unit apart and found there are no threads in the part that holds the glow plug so the exhaust is leaking out the glow plug port and mixing with the heated air.There is no return available as to the fuel is hazmat. I asked the seller what can be done but have not received an answer yet. I will update this if I get one. Amazon offers support chat. I need get in touch with the manufacturer to get a new part so that I can breath while using it. Anyone have a clue where to buy parts for these?

Picked this up for $59 and it works better than my $100 heater. The controller has a thermostat setting which is great for not overheating small spaces because it's hot even at the low setting. We were nice and toasty in a trailer in 25 degree weather. Had to turn it off mid night when it was in warmer areas. Manual needs work, I can't figure out how to adjust the automatic temperature settings.

I have bought three of these diesel heaters. the all in one is the most easy to use. I learned to run in on high or medium for best operation. Run it to low it soots up because fan speed slows down to much. Got another project I'm going to use this in for off grid heating.
