Chinese Diesel Air Heater Part 14 Strip Down

In this video I will try and give some guide to owners of these cheap Chinese Diesel Air Heaters who will undertake their own maintenance and repairs.

UPDATE. On watching this video again, I see I was somewhat condescending to those who have been running different types of oils in these little heaters. I am SORRY if I offended you.
It can be a fun exercise to try burning different fuels, but please be aware excessive use of any oil in these heaters will cause you serious maintenance issues. JMcK (6/04/19)

Ideally it is preferable to have someone with knowledge and experience with these heaters to do the maintenance and repairs, but understandable for owner maintenance desire as the maintenance and repair labor cost could sometimes exceed the cost of the heater itself.

The most common reason for stripping down these little heaters is to clean out soot and carbon deposits from the Glow Plug atomizing screen, and the combustion chamber.

If you burn any oil, or a diesel oil mix in these heaters, you will get rapid carbon and soot build in the atomizing screens and the combustion chamber. Burning oils of any type, produce large carbon and soot by products, which will quickly block up these heaters with soot deposits.

After cleaning and reassembly you MUST make sure the two gaskets and the two neoprene/silicone seals are in good condition. You MUST NOT reassemble the heater with poor or cracked gaskets or seals, because it can lead to deadly CO gases entering the accommodation areas.

If these heaters are installed correctly, operated correctly, and maintained correctly, you will have many years of good service life before any strip down and clean is required.

One source of burner gaskets

To date I have not found a Chinese gasket source for their 5kw heaters, however as they are almost an exact copy of Eberspacher D4 heaters, I have used those gaskets.
One possible source for D2 gaskets. Note I have not purchased any myself yet, so can't personally vouch for them.
