Diesel heater installation

That's how it looks in 2nd row without the heat pipe attached:

And in "I'm definitely not sleeping in a trunk" mode: (there is a block of wood under the seat to avoid crushing of the pipe)

And a tank under the hood:

Fuel line from the tank goes down, together with metal brake lines, then routed on a frame away from exhaust with brake and fuel lines. Pump is mounted on a rubber isolator on a frame just behind the wheel arch.

A controller landed in a very corner of the trunk, between wheel arch and middle row seat. Power goes straight from the battery, wiring is routed along the frame rail and goes through body using a provision for transfer case wiring in a shifter "bucket".

My goal was to install it with minimum numbers of holes drilled, as stealth as possible and making sure that if needed it can be removed with ease. I gave it a test and it works geat! Just that pump ticking is bit annoying.

Excellent installation. Do you get any kind of diesel fumes from the fuel or combustion process?

No diesel fumes, however there is a little bit of a smell, like burnt rubber on highest setting, it slowly went away after couple of hours of test run. I suspect a gasket that goes between body and bottom of the unit or some residues burning or vaporizing from manufacturing process.

Carbon Monoxide detector is not showing anything, that's good

Exhaust pipe is protruding outside edge of a door sill, I've adjusted it to protrude a bit more & gave it a shot of exhaust spray to make it less visible.
