eberspacher petrol heater

Post by Fumar »

I have a eberspacher petrol heater in my van 30 years old.. when it blows cold air fine but no heat comes out after about 30 seconds it clicks allot (relay maybe?) and then nothing happens.. does anyone have any ideas..
I like them tall and rough.. flat fours sound the best even if its got less power than a flymo!!

Try turning it on when the engine is running....

If the clicking is the pump (easy to tell, put your hand on it or ear close) the fuel isn't getting through yet. It may take a dozen or more start attempts to get the fuel through if the line and pump are empty. Check the filter in the pump isn't blocked also.

Follow the fault list in the troubleshooting manual if you are still having problems.

Its firing up.. warm air comes out but it stops after about 10 seconds.. is quite noisy too.. is there places to get them serviced.. or can I do it myself,, with it having petrol electric and fumes I'm a bit worried about opening the box

Worked a treat.. just kept trying it.. tonight I sat in a lovely toasty camper.. I should probably get a carbon monoxide tester before spending the night with it on.
