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.

Why does the Mercedes fuel gauge suddenly stop displaying?

Generally, when a Mercedes fuel gauge suddenly stops displaying, it is often due to the loss of the fuel level sensor signal in the fuel tank. The reasons for this situation include: damage to the fuel level sensor; software or hardware failure inside the fuel control computer; or a short circuit in the wiring harness of the fuel control computer or fuel level sensor. Here is some additional information: 1. Fuel gauge sensor failure: The issue could also be caused by a malfunctioning fuel float (fuel gauge sensor). The fuel gauge relies on the fuel float to detect the fuel level, and if the detection signal is distorted, the fuel gauge may not display. 2. Problems with the fuel gauge circuit in the instrument panel: If the fuel level sensor is functioning properly, the issue might lie with the fuel gauge circuit in the instrument panel.
