Have a look on uTube there's one that actually measures its volume right thru its start up sequence where you can hear it for yourselfHi Guys, can any one tell me subjectively just now noisy these units are at tickover and full chat?
Is the 4th picture in the ad showing the unit spontaneously bursting into flames??
£$%^, I didn't see that before I bought it 
. Must do more research!
.
This guy has loads of videos tests on them, and shows how the supplied parts can make it noisier
20 ltr cans of Kerosene and red diesel on ebay But most Oil suppliers I'm sure would fill a can of either for you.
Does anyone know is it possible to get kero or heating oil from a pump / litre. about £0.90 cheaper /litre than diesel.
Lots of garages now sell 28sec heating oil from the pump, mind you they use so little I would just run off the diesel tank.
It hasn't happened yet, it is in my garage, but I will move it away from the ammo box now I've seen that.
Regarding noise, this all-in-one heater is very noisy, in my garage.
On a similar note, once when we were away in France my missus woke at around 1am petrified someone was try to gas us or set fire to us. She had heard the noise of a van parked next to use eberspacher start up. And insisted I went out to check

I'm up in Scotland and the shell station has red at a pump. You need to go in to fill form out then thay put it on. You could try shell garage near you. Would imagine others are doing it.

I've checked their web site and the local ones to me only show:
Have you not a drain tap at other end, or use a syphon hose or electric pump from the top.
Mine is disconnected at moment from boiler, so i fill some 5 ltr jars and take them into the garage and have a outboard tank connected to the burner filter, so i can see how much oil i burn in 12hr cycles.
i have some rads in mine which is handy.The heated air comes from the inside of the garage which is effectively inside the vehicle, the air used for combustion must be drawn in from the outside however
they still do it that way on VW's however there are protection panels already there and the eberspachers are far more water resistant than the chinese heaters which have absolutely no attempt at stopping any water ingress with a totally bare circuit board as the ECU, even the eberspachers are generally mounted in a virtually waterproof metal box when fitted under most vans with ducting for both cool air in and hot air out entering the interior of the vehicle for recirculating.
not only that but unless they have an optional controller with a built in thermistor the eberspacher D2 / D4 s at least have the thermistor built onto the side of the ECU and it regulates the room temperature using the temperature of the recirculated air passing through the heater.
