DIESEL HEATER

[AndrewJ]

I'm looking for a diesel heater, preferably with some kind of forced air. If anyone has a URL for a website which offers
these heaters, or could recommend one, I would appreciate the information.
thank you.

I have an Eberspacher Airtronic D2 which has been brilliant. Depends if you want new or second hand? Some people get old truck units from commercial vehicle breakers. Trouble with this is the cost of bits to be able to use it in a boat - insulated exhaust hose, skin fitting, ducting - all VERY expensive, so you don't end up saving that much over new "kit price".

Goto Eberspacher's web site and you'll find a list of dealers.

Cheers,

Jerry

Have a look at Ebay. There are a number of people selling reconditioned heaters with all the marine fittings. If you're prepared to fit it yourself they are a lot cheaper than new and the reliability seems to be such that you don't risk too much by buying secondhand - especially as a significant amount of the cost is the ductings and fittings - if the actual heater fails a replacement isn't too much.
