How much fuel does a 12v diesel heater consume in one day?
1 Answers
12v diesel heater fuel consumption in one day depends on the heater's power rating. There are three common power ratings for diesel heaters on the market: 7 kW, 10 kW, and 16.3 kW. Taking a water-heated 16.3 kW diesel heating system as an example, it consumes approximately less than 2 liters of diesel per hour when operating continuously. The exhaust pipe of the diesel heater should be kept away from the cabin, and the direction of the exhaust pipe should face the rear of the vehicle to prevent toxic gases from being blown into the cabin during nighttime headwinds. When using the diesel heater, leave a small gap at the car window before sleeping. While the diesel heater is operating, carbon monoxide will be expelled through the exhaust pipe, preventing it from seeping into the vehicle with the warm air. Leaving a gap at the window helps reduce the risk of accidents.
