Customer Customer States Mechanic Fails Engine Transmission Gas Diesel off road race 4x4 street car daily driver scam dealership dealer technician how to
Urgent breaking news and no, it's not the Corvette although that is a very nice looking Corvette Uh, we have somewhat of a Florida emergency Brewing uh I Guess what's happening? Uh, in the World At Large Today is there is a massive cold front coming down from Canadia and it's pushing all of the warm air outside of sunny. Florida And tomorrow morning it's going to be super cold. Like ridiculously cold. So we have to take action immediately in order to mitigate and survive the frigid upcoming winter temperatures.
Starting the engine, we need diesel fuel. That's right. We're going to solve this potential problem tomorrow by burning diesel. So there's a phenomenon in Florida that when it's hurricane season, everybody runs out real quick and they buy up all the generators that way.
if power goes down for a day or two, people have a generator so folks don't plan ahead. they just happen to just they go out in Black Friday generators I guess and they just do that every time there's hurricane out there. So uh I have taken action preemptively to prevent frostbite I went and uh ordered from Home Depot Land one of the uh, what what do they call them? It's not a not a butane, it's a diesel kerosene SL propane Tri fuel electric fired heater and I'm going to gas it up or fuel it up. We're going to fill full some Diesel power it up and test it out.
Uh I have already taken the thing out of the box. Uh, it was fairly simple. You take the take the box off and put the wheels on. So uh, we're going to go ahead and get some fuel prepared and I'm going to fill up this heater and we're going to test it out that way tomorrow morning when we come to work.
If it's cold outside, uh, we can maintain some level of comfortability in the shop. By the way, this is going to be a a quick video powering down. sort of a a break from my normul style of content. My door panel's gone.
That door panel is not gone. That one's shiny. but uh, hopefully I can entertain you. Nothing nonetheless.
Little black Corvette Yep, there's the heater unit. It's the Mr Heater it's a contractor series. Like I said, it's Diesel and electric fired. It turns on with electricity and then uses diesel to create the British thermal units or BTUs hey, real quick before I fuel this thing up and fire it up I Want to do something? Whoa.
how'd that happened I Want to do some maintenance on my fuel transfer system that has never been done before. I've got a new particulate filter here. It's for fuel tanks and transfer pumps and whatnot. and I'm going to change that real fast because this filter has been on this pump assembly since I installed it, which has been a couple of years.
So since we're here, it would probably be beneficial for me to go ahead and change out this filter. Well, you know what towel? I'm going to need a tow tow will that will prevent spillages. There we go. Well, it won't prevent spillages, but it'll keep me from having, uh, diesel saturated everything. Hopefully this is the right filter. You can see this one is larger than this one. here. there's some fuel and I don't think that's going to fit.
Yeah, not a chance. look at that. the holes are the wrong ho size. Okay, well this will fit later.
but I might have to change like this manifold or whatever. Oh, that was an error. Sucks too cuz I bought this filter at the same Tractor Supply where I bought this pump. I'm wondering why they don't fit all right? well.
scratch that plan. sorry for wasting you guys' time. I Just uh showed you a video about not changing a fuel filter. Yay! Well since we're not changing the filter I guess I can go ahead and get this thing prepped and set up to be refilled.
I think I'll fill my truck up too I think the uh, the Tank's a little bit l So what? I've got to do here? Grab this guy and we got to reach. Climb up here, grab the neck, flip on. the juice pump is running now we can refill. See this wasn't a stupid idea after all.
Fill it on up, let it ride. there we go. This is lime flavored. It's even got a little gas gauge.
Check that out all the way up. H The gauge is not moving yet. Oh there it goes. It's starting to bounce I wonder if this is like a two or three gallon tank? How much is in here? I Can see the fuel.
We're almost full I Know shame on me for not running cherry flavored I know I paid taxes on this fuel I Feel bad. Nearly there. We're about at the top and the gauge says we're uh, coming up on fullness. Done.
Beautiful. All right. That guy is full here. Let's fill the truck up, set it, and forget it.
So now we'll take this guy, run this thing inside and we'll put some power to the electrical connector and fire it up and see if it runs. I Think it will. Oh it's heavy. Now that it's got gas in it, it's got a bunch of gas in it.
Plug it in, plug it in. Do it twice. Do it. Nice.
There we go. Okay, we have a pressure gauge. What else do we have here? See on Switch. Look at that.
Cheapo switch. Very cheap. What's this? Do this heater automatically controlled and may start any time. Okay, okay, so we set the temperature.
Do not burn down the Corvette Do it make heat? Oh yeah. Okay, yeah, that's hot. Dang, that's really hot I can't even touch my hand. Okay, let's go ahead and turn you off I Think we're good.
Okay, the thing works. Proof of concept. Complete disconnecting and powering down. Did I turn off the switch? No I didn't let's check the fuel tank in the truck.
Oh it just finished I think nope still going I wonder if I'm low on fuel in the tank? It sounds like the Tank's running out. Let's see, we'll go in there with a flash light and Visually identify our fuel level. look my. Auto Stop did not stop I think I just broke it.
Okay yeah, oops I need to put that on a like a toggle switch or something one day. maybe rig this so it stays all the way on and then run a relay in the Box here that will just Supply power to this when that relay kicks over. So this will always be on cuz it's kind of a pain in the butt to come up here and uh and flip this thing on and off I dis like it here. let's see what's left in our tank. Oh yeah yeah yeah, it's pretty low. it's lower than I thought it was I thought I had uh thought I had more fuel in there than that. Thought this was full actually hope I didn't get robbed. that was a lot of fuel.
Anyway, that's good. the truck is full and I probably got about 10 gallons left in this tank after the five or six or whatever that I put in that tank. But yeah, cool beans. that thing works over there.
That means tomorrow. uh, won't be a wash I won't be sitting around freezing unable to complete my my tasks and assignments. So I'm going to call that a a positive and a win for the day. Flamable.
All right guys. Heater is fixed. Proof of concept Complete! I'm all done here. See you guys later.
Thank you for watching this short video in a day in a video in a transmission. Thanks for watching. Have a great day! Say bye Dave Bye.
what you are getting would probably be considered t-shirt and shorts weather here in MN
I have a heater similar to this, 150K BTU. Worked great when I lived up north. It would heat my garage from 10° to 60° in about 10 mins. Smelled like the airport though.
here in wisconsin we call that a torpedo heater best ones around.
What the hell man, you spilled diesel everywhere. 😄That's why you don't have diesel anymore… 🤭
Nothing like starting up a space heater, while only 8 feet away, you're pumping fuel into a truck. What could possibly happen? 🤔🤨
Well, it is Tractor Supply where everything is Chineseium.
Picturing you having a power failure tomorrow morning,
and having to run the generator, to power the heater,
while you try to find a 'still powered' gas station to refill your pump tank,
'cuz you put all the fuel in the truck tank already.🤨
I almost died using a heater like that. They put off carbon monoxide just like your truck.
As someone that lives in the Canadian prairie, I'm curious what someone from Florida considers "cold"…
Hey Rainman Ray, I was going to say something clever, but after reading some of the comments, I decided you need a HUG. There you go. Stay warm & stay safe.
I always get a headache burning diesel.. for me, its worth the money to buy kerosene..
Save your lighter fluid, by lighting your cig with that heater..
Man it was cold today, 51 degrees this am in CFL. Barely survived it!
Stay warm Ray!
Heat? I thought FL was famous for its warm weather, even in winter.
!
Poor babies.
A Herman Nelson.
It’s really when they first start and shot off when they come to heat when they put the worst emissions out
Normular for you is Abby Normular for many, but still entertaining. 😉
Its 24deg here in Detroit and it feels great
heater start it up then warm the area, shut it down fumes are dangerous! you should
always have a operational CO detector!
my friend has a up right hrater, for his garage, really neat and puts out a load of BTU’s !
We used a kerosene heater like that at our NY shop and never had any fume/carbon monoxide/smell problems. When it was cold enough to freeze the truck tire dunk tank solid, we ran it most of the day.
Cold in Florida 😂😂
Man what would he do if he woke up and seen it was 12° outside like I did this morning. Keep do what you do
WE were 18 degrees this morning in Indiana
I imagine you needed to bring out the heater cause it was gonna be like 50 degrees? Just kidding, but try coming to my shop in Minnesnowta. Was working on a truck and had to have my bay door open in 15 degree weather. Was running my propane heater for sure. Quite windy and wind chills in the single digits. On the other hand, I would probably melt in your highs. Im gonna be adding a propane forge to make knives and swords in the next couple months, so 1800 degrees should help to heat things up.
I call that a salamander, we use it to heat our shops or garages up here in the cold north they work great🤘🤘
What happened to 'Global boiling" Ray? Thanks for proving the lie. Cheers! 😊
My Walgreens sold out of heated Depends 😎
bahahah… its 18°F out, the wood fire stove is burning, and its 77°F in the coldest room in my 2600 ft² house
Those heaters are basically jet engines running an electric fan to force air through rather than an exhaust turbine running a compressor. Should be able to keep things nice and warm in that little shop. Just watch out for carbon monoxide.
I have been using this diesel heater in my work shop in Norway where the temperature whas – 30 c
It’s called a torpedo heater
So, you will be dealing with temperatures that will be an icy, bone chilling 50 degrees. Ok at night you might see the freezing mark, maybe and probable not. I will stop teasing; I do remember your hurricane video. Trade offs
Cmon Ray! It’s not that bad. I happen to be here in Tampa for a conference this week, and I’m barely using a sweater.
Sorry Ray, but I’m on a rant for many things today and, unfortunately, I need to rant here. Pls stop blaming CAN for smoke, cold air etc…it goes both ways, and yes, cold may be coming from your fellow States up north…thanks for listening. Oops, gravity, dropped my thongs while BBQ’ing in this cold weather of ours…lol
A little backward I do say. just saying
And the filter is a 1” thread and not the 3/4” thread you had on the other one. Usually they are molded into the aluminum part what size it is.
Hope the orange trees survive the 60 degree weather, stay warm and be safe.
Stay warm Ray. It's going down to 18 here in southern Ohio tonight and i'm not going outside unless i really need to
LOL what terrifying temperature is Ray anticipating tomorrow? Forecast here in bonnie Scotland is -2°C (28°F) overnight rising to a whopping +2C° (36°F) during the day tomorrow…
Yes use the utmost caution with this type of heater a shop near me exploded when one came on and there were fumes from items being used were present. The man lost his shop and 3 customer cars.
torpedo heater as some call them.
What ! You need a heater for 20°c / 70°f
Poor southern people, go buy winter coats you gonna freeze.
Make sure you keep the oranges warm to, orange juice is already high enough………..
You kids and your Florida weather. Back in my day we went to school in a foot of snow and it was uphill 5 miles both ways.
Don't use the tri-fuel heater in the garage without proper ventilation. I used that method in my garage once and the fumes were unhealthy. I switched to a propane heater which is better for warming the garage without the side effects of diesel fumes.
Propane your eyes will burn skin will itch
Why don't you just turn you truck around and blow the exhaust directly in the shop.. LOL
Its nice and warm up here in Buffalo n.y. 26 degrees
I'll make enemies: with all due respect, the last good looking Corvette was made in 1967.
We used one today at work stayed warm all morning 30 degrees with 20mile an hour wind.
We never got the cold weather in Panama City.
You want to get some real heat from it. Mix half fuel and half kerosene.
You can always tell tourists from Wisconsin. They still go to the beach when it’s below 80
Ah the Florida cold. Up here in Middleburg it might get to freezing tonight, for one night. Oh the horrror. By the way Ray, looking into the diesel fuel tank on your truck is that paint on the bottom of the tank or you've got some growth starting? Might need to use some "BioBor" additive or something similar. Just a thought!
hi Ray. I was wondering if you can get red diesel over there in America that it usually used in things like tracters, stand alone diesel generators, etc instead of using normal road diesel because we have two main types in the UK, the red "rebated" diesel that is used for tractors and other stuff and generators and heaters like that one you have and it is usually cheaper thannthe blue diesel???
Cannon and or torpedo heater
Let use a rag to not have thing saturated in diesel!! Proceed to flood everything with diesel 😂😂😂 good job ray
Sitting here in a balmy 40 degrees F after a night in the 20’s and thinking how it must feel like the frozen tundra to you guys . My girlfriend lives in Orange Park up by Jacksonville . She has been telling me how the nights are so cold with the front moving in , while I have snow on the ground . Yes it is cold but only for a little , you guys will be warm before my couple of inches of snow is gone . Stay safe , have fun – finish that truck , I want to see it in its glory .
Ha ha ha southern red necks cold. It's was -8 wind chill. Suppose to get 50 Thursday then big blow 10 inches of snow. Is your extra diesel tank have algae growing. Up here is all fuel has winter blend for gas price goes up gas mileage drops. Just funny to see. If you had a inch of snow shut down. Up here no problems . Keep war
Torpedo heater going
Wow you will no suffer cold!!!!!!
Suggestion: swap the filler neck and the pump mount so the pump is on the driver's side. Makes it a pain to fill the tank but easier to access the pump.
It was 11* this morning. I had to put a flannel on. I save the insulated stuff for when it gets to -10*.
use off road diesel and save MONEY!!!! it is also calle.d dyed diesel I use it in all my off road equipment
How cold did it end up getting? I know you southerner are not used to the cold. I don't miss the -50c temperatures of the north.
Awhile back I posted that Ray should build a dirty oil heater, even in Florida needs heat when it's cold or loss of power.
Lets put a towel here to reduce spillage…. later proceeds to douse the whole top of the tank with the nossle 🙂 I laughed far too hard at that point. I love the videos that are not focused are just fixing the car. Helps me relate to 'a day in the life'
It's always Canadians fault. Damn you Canada!!!
WHATS COLD 50 DEGREES😂
ray…you and your southerner brethren are so funny when it comes to your "cold" weather. i hope we get to see a vid of you guys working in "the cold". 🙂
today in my area, we're having a "heatwave" compared to what we're normally at. its suppose to be 45 degrees and for us at this time of the year, thats hoodie and shorts weather because normally right now we'd be in the low 20 and high teens for temperatures with many inches of snow on the ground. i send you some of our heatwave so you can keep your warm.
Space heater – that's what we call them in Freezing North East England.
Is that a parts truck in the parking lot?
It clearly says on those heaters for outdoor use only. If you read the instructions you wont die. Carbon monoxide poisoning is the real deal. they are in no way intended for indoor use.
Many comments already say this but it bears repeating. Make sure you have ventilation, to blow out the carbon monoxide.
Haha. So get a CO detector. Probably a big mistake using diesel. It will stink up your garage. White kerosene is the best. Ask me how I know. Biggest mistake will be using offroad diesel. It will run you out of the shop! And will take forever to clean it out of the tank.
On a brighter note. If you have a stack of aluminum wheels. Do like I do and put a few 2 high, 3 or so feet in front of the heater to soak up and radiate heat after the thermostat shuts it off. Your shop is big enough and vented that CO shouldn't be an issue.
Beware of the slightest headache. Leave a door cracked open a touch.
Diesel in these really sucks. Fine in an open barn working on the tractor in sub-zero temps. though.
24 degrees in Ohio. We're snickering!
People with heaters in Florida just have too much money. Lol😂
How about a long sleeve shirt and even some jeans? It hit low thirties in Virginia and high today in the low 40's. I was in the yard in a short sleeve t-shirt, but worst case a decent jacket and if it's blowing cold, long underwear.
I would be scared to use one of those heaters in my garage.
If you had bought a propane powered heater, you can use it in a building. I just bought the baby brother of your heater. It is propane fueled and is certified for indoor use.
By frigid you mean 50 ?
Well here in Norway the garage has about 35F inside. After freezing for days while working on my Volvo, I have now ended up with the flu and a caugh. Finally getting slightly better. Next time I will try to get the stubborn propane/dieasel heater going. It is very similar to yours. Mine is around 50kw I think.
We called those Heaters in Power Plant Usuage–Salamanders, ours used Kerosene but that was many Moons ago…
you can Blame this on HARRP
Cold front lower 40's? Ray you know Michigan Chicago and northern cities is the frozen tundra, I'm here in Chicago with❄️🌨️😅 16 degrees this morning
Take care not to break the fuel cap on that heater. It looks like the "steel rod pressed into plastic" design. The ones I had, the plastic cracks and the steel rod falls out, rendering the cap useless for containing the fuel inside of the tank unit.
32F in Ontario Canada today, brrrr 🥶
It’s 22 and snowing in Ohio the usual.
hahaha great!
So it gives BTUs. Whaat about Calories?
U will use that heater 4 days of your lifetime lol 😂
why, pray-tell, did you put the pump and nozzle on the opposite side of the truck's fill hole?
I can tell you the mechanics here in Canada don't mind the colder weather this time of year. The tire changes, however…
those things are amazing, sunday it was "see your breath cold" and standing infront of those things nice n toasty
Well we all thought you could use a small gift from Canada so we sent you some cooler air! We can send some snow too if you would like it!
it’s called a torpedo heater
Warning my neighbors were found dead with carbon monoxide poisoning after using a heater like that in a closed house.
