I never bothered with the exhaust. I think as long as the inlet and outlet pipes are equal length it creates a balance and is fairly quiet - okay, not as loud as a Saturn 5 rocket Sent from my BND-L21 using Tapatalk
Also, run your heater regardless of what brand, once a month to get rid of any airlocks. Sent from my BND-L21 using Tapatalk

Billy Connolly does Diesel heaters. I like some of things he does because he doesn't bullMarmite what he doesn't know
No, but seen one in operation. Does give you extra control via your phone but it costs nearly as much as the heater. Some functions are questionable like switching off the heater and restarting at set temperature, by the time the heater has gone through the cool down and heat up process it has missed its temperature along with the extra draw current of the glow plug from the battery, it is not an instantaneous process like a Propex. Doesn't really add anything to tuning it is only the same information you can already get from the heater and use yourself particularly if you have the red remote control. Apart from the extra timers handy if it is a daily driver and you want to preheat the van every day. Does have a nice interface and if you like a phone in your mush all the time I can't see much benefit apart from the timers.
Yes I agree on price I make it £90 when a normal lcd controler is 10 - 15 but that said my Lcd has gone dark not dark enough for for me not to use it but dark its only 2 month old
The early black LCD fade, the later blue/red/gold controllers don't suffer the same problem and dim down whilst you are not using the controller. Combined with the red remote which diplays the same information.
My controller is also fading away. It’s a couple of years old but I always disconnected the battery when not using it. I’ve ordered this one to replace it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164281538381
With winter coming and heaters being used please make sure you guys and gals are using CO detectors. This picture recently popped up on Farcebook. I can't comment on the validity but see the reply from Marc to my comment. He's a straight up and down fella who runs Syncronauta in Barcelona. Be safe x
A timely warning. Let’s hope the Chinese are as diligent in heat exchanger design as the Germans. I suspect I know what the answer is...
Yep, but the message is to try and not die by using a CO detector etc regardless of the heater. Just so happens this is, allegedly, one of the recent Chinese ones
Got a B3 in Goran. 3kw petrol fired Eber! It's an absolute beast and was dealer fitted on supply back in 1990. It's just been removed because it scares me! I had it serviced and a new plug, pump, filter etc, and within 5 minutes you're in your pants but....
In theory, there should be nowt wrong with the older ones, if they've been inspected and serviced. I'd be tempted to check (or change) the overheat stats etc, but it is the heat exchanger that needs a good looking over. Slightly horrifying the ancient junk some folk put in without really looking at it: old BN4s and the like. It looks cool and fires up, so it's ok...isn't it? Well, yes, if you like inhaling carbon monoxide
