Silvel 12/24V Diesel Heater (White, 9L Tank)

What fuel types can this heater use?

The heater runs on light diesel and petrol that correspond to ambient temperature conditions. It consumes 0.12-0.5 litres per hour depending on heat setting. The 9L tank capacity provides up to 40 hours of continuous operation. Always use clean fuel to prevent clogging and ensure optimal performance.

Can this heater work with both 12V and 24V systems?

Yes, the unit supports both 12V and 24V DC power supplies. This makes it compatible with car batteries, truck electrical systems, RV power setups and portable power stations. The wide voltage compatibility eliminates the need for separate models for different vehicle types.

How do I control the temperature settings?

The heater includes an LCD smart display and wireless remote control for convenient operation. You can set temperatures between 8°C and 36°C. The unit offers both automatic and manual control modes, with programmed on/off timing and constant temperature maintenance features.

What safety features are included?

Multiple protection systems include overheat protection, short circuit protection, reverse connection protection and over voltage protection. The built-in smart sensor prevents dry burns whilst preheating protection ensures safe startup. These systems work automatically to shut down the unit if unsafe conditions are detected.

How long does it take to heat up a space?

Heating time depends on space size and insulation. User feedback indicates it can heat a garage to 21°C within 30 minutes. The 8000W output provides rapid heating performance. For best results, start on lower power settings and gradually increase to prevent automatic shutdown.

Where can I install this heater?

The heater suits cars, RVs, trucks, boats, garages, tents and residential spaces. The compact design and independent operation make installation flexible. Ensure proper ventilation for exhaust gases and follow manufacturer guidelines for safe positioning and clearances.

How much noise does the heater make?

The unit uses low-noise fuel pump technology to minimise operational sound. Noise levels vary with power settings and installation location. Some users report it being relatively quiet for a diesel heater, though positioning affects perceived noise levels in living spaces.

What's included with the heater?

The package includes the main diesel heater unit with remote control and LCD display. Additional installation components like ducting, exhaust pipes and mounting hardware may need to be purchased separately depending on your specific installation requirements.
