Where did you hide the heaters fuel pump?
Did not install it. I decided to put everything in the Fall. The fuel line I bought was too tight diameter. Need new like.
My main concern will be how to route exhaust without touching any lines. And what isolation to use besides silicone coated exhaust wrap sleeve I have .
Anything I should know about fuel pump? Was any difficulties to route it?

I was eager to install PS to see if everything would clear and heater would fit. It did. Now I need safely route exhaust.

With the fuel pump, the best I can tell you is that I have learned that they are better pushers than pullers. So closer to the fuel tank the better. Mount the fuel pump at a 30 degree uphill (the wire connector up) position. This keep the pump wet and reduces the noise when pumping. I used the exhaust heat wrap and have had no problems. Now that I have used the heater for a full winter season (temps got all the way down to -31 this year) I can say this is THE best item I have added to my p500. The heater never failed me and I never had to use a heavy winter jacket to go out ice fishing. My goal was to keep the frost and ice off of the windshield so I could see at night and the heater went Way above that in performance. My girlfriend rode with me all winter and never complained once (this confirms I did the right thing
)
Very good. I'm glad I saw those Ukrainians pushing this heater into Nissan leafWith the fuel pump, the best I can tell you is that I have learned that they are better pushers than pullers.

to save electric battery power for better range ))I think I figured out how to squeeze small tank under the hood, it has dedicated mount , all looks good to my eye.
Next shocks and the go for a ride.

I need more info on what you are asking me for? Happy to help!
I would like to see pics of exhaust, does it got left or right and how far it extends. Mounting points.

Here are the pictures I have of the exhaust. It runs down from the heater behind the radiator fan and out by the left front tire. I than turn 90 back and down hill and use a 45 to blow out the left side to be as far away from the intake as possible. I would of used 1" copper but I did not have any, so I used what I had. You must make the exhaust head to the rear or you will have a problem of the flame going out when you drive down the road or trail. I just used some loom clamps to secure it.

Please do one more pic a bit far and not so close.

The gray pipe is something I had laying around. As I said I would of used 1" copper pipe if I had some. (the fittings I used were for 1" copper)
I finally installed it into my friends P500. This is under hood version vs mine portable in the box. This is a remote version of a diesel heater, with thermostat. The good part to go with this version that it has low voltage sensor that stop unit not let your battery to drain itself completely.
Once I get T splitter I will route to the passenger site too. I have to Use original splitter for connectors on silicone air bended ducts.

Solrus- In my experience with my diesel air heater, I have found that the exhaust must be pointed at least 45 degrees rearward so that the wind you create going down the road at speed does not put the flame out. Also I used that exact controller w/remote (rectangle one) and had to switch to the square one w/remote because the rectangle one has a clock in it and never "goes to sleep" and the display is always on. It would kill my battery if I did not use it for 3 days or would not start the heater on day 2 because of low voltage. The square controller display shuts off after 30 seconds of non use and has almost no drain on the battery. I used mine ALOT last winter and a few times this season and it has worked great! I ran 14 gallons of kerosene thru it last season and they just sip fuel. Is that elbow you have hooked to the outlet 60mm or 75mm and were did you get that from?

Brilliant indeed, even more so now as it’s snowing at my house...
Geeez it’s a full time job keeping up the mods on P5 and my 97 powerstroke 7.3 truck...

I've connected to 75 mm hose. I found those silicone turbo I guess air intake. When I'm home I can try to look it up on my eBay , bought it last year . The good part about this bended 135 degree part that outside with plastic part I made from 75 mm T connector fit 75 mm hose but innner diameter is perfect to snugly fit 60 mm diffuser.
I hope my friend only plow when it is on. Will see if he has problems, I advised him to buy fire extinguisher too
). I think I found it, but need to confirm when back home
