Thanks so much Stan for taking the time and trouble to post these links. I found them fascinating and very educational. I didn't watch all of them, but for the ones that I did this guy makes excellent points and explains very clearly; obviously not a rookie or a hack, pretty sure he is a seasoned mechanical engineer. For any person even considering a Chinese Diesel Heater, this is a MUST watch series. Start with Part 1...gives the whole history. And he explains how to avoid common frustrating problems and failures. Even though my Mr Buddy propane heater meets my current needs, just watching these videos makes me want to buy one...and tinker! And yes definitely for me, it would be a unit mounted to a plywood board and fit into Driver Side Window for wintertime use. Gosh....almost makes me want to consider cross-country winter travel....hmmmm. Cheap, reliable, dry heat.

They are very thorough, he probably has an engineering background.
