fitting an eberspacher heater in a 110Defender

I've got a petrol one that was used to heat water to bore through ice, it's still on a pair of skis! I offered it to a chap with a converted milk float but he hasn't picked it up yet.

Fine fine fine for all you dieselites for whilst somewhere in the wild world there may have been petrol ebersprachers for those of us who still have spark plugs and carburettors where in the world would you find one for my camper conversion?

s'gonna be a cold Christmas.

fitted to all 101 ambulances...

though whether they're generally available, or were, I don't know. Nothing to stop you having a small diesel tank just to feed the heater though.

are ambis 12V or 24V, BTW, originally?

Same place as mine - eBay (although they come up less fequently than the diesel ones). There are petrol versions of the ebersprachers D1LC (compact) that I have. Look for a B1LC (B=3Dbenzene=3Dpetrol)

Also worth trawling "heaters" under the automotive sections. You need to bear in mind it's a difficult word to spell. many of my ebay bargains have been down to wrongly spelt words. Great for me as I'm mildly dyslexic. Like my sateli..satellie....sky dish.

I'll have to see what my petrol one is rated at, I've not had a car with one but work breaks in this weather would make one more sensible than trying to idle the engine, which is bad practice whichever way you look at it.

One of our sales vehicles (90 camper!!!) has one fitted.

It works very well, the wife has been using the vehicle for school runs and it is great for defrosting in the morning. You do need understanding neighbours as it sounds like concord is warming up in the drive.

This one has been fitted behind the passenger seat and is very neatly carried out. But that coupled with the air con does mean that the space for passenger is a little restricted.

Hardly worth bothering on that score, it's not like they munch through vast quantities of fuel.

There is a 101 knocking around with a diesel one in. It's the GS with a caravan built into the back then cleverly covered with the Tarp.

does each heater do that, though, or does each only run on one fuel?

Austin Shackles uttered summat worrerz funny about:

I think Simon refers to the 101 rather than the heater. :-)
