Adding a Heater
I've finally got round to getting a Chinese Diesel Heater for the boat and some bits and bobs so it can be plumbed in to a boat. Having got all the stuff, have it laid out in the cabin ready for several holes to be drilled in the boat for exhaust output and hot air ducting into the cabin.
Once I work out where exactly in the cockpit locker it is going, I need to route the diesel from the tank and the electrics from the house battery and switch in the cabin so I can start drilling.

Hi Sandy, have you considered a separate tank? The plumbing is easier and it doesn’t compromise Your fuel consumption calculations or range. I have a 7 litre dedicated tank, not expensive. Details of my installation on the blog / index. John L

DeleteI did consider a separate tank, but usually carry a full tank (90 litres) plus 40 in Jerry Cans. I have developed the habit of filling up at any harbour I call into, I'm usually the chap you see wandering down the road with a wee trolly from the nearest filling station.
