Diesel parking heater for animal house, workshop and camper: My test of the Vevor 8kW heater
A diesel parking heater provides efficient warmth for the animal house, workshop and camper – especially on icy winter days. My previous electric heating solution quickly reached its limits at temperatures below -15°C, as the photovoltaic island system could not supply enough energy for the fan heater when there was little sunshine.
To reduce the high electricity costs and find a reliable solution for heating the animal house, I opted for the mobile Vevor 8kW diesel parking heater. In my test, I show you how this heater works and why it is ideal for keeping your garden shed, car or roof tent warm in winter.
Before I integrated the Chinese heater into a mobile heating box, I tested it extensively. Here are my results.

The test: First impressions of the Vevor 8kW diesel heater
Preparation and scope of delivery
The Vevor diesel heater came with all the accessories required for initial commissioning. The diesel parking heater set with 8 kW heat output includes
- An integrated 5-liter diesel tank
- One hot air hose and one exhaust pipe
- An air intake filter and pipe clamps
- A practical remote control to switch the heating on and off remotely
Before I started the test, I placed the heater on a stable base, checked the connections and filled the tank about a third full with diesel.
Design and function of a diesel parking heater
A diesel parking heater works by burning diesel and emitting the heat generated to the outside via an integrated fan. The principle is simple and effective: fresh air is supplied for combustion via an intake pipe, while the resulting exhaust gases are discharged to the outside via a separate pipe. At the same time, room air is drawn in, heated and blown out again to raise the ambient temperature quickly and evenly.
The tested 8kW model from Vevor is particularly user-friendly as it is installed in a robust metal transport box. This box protects the technology and makes the heater mobile – perfect for use in animal houses, workshops, campers or roof tents. The transport box has a carrying handle for easy transportation and an integrated 5-litre diesel tank that provides enough fuel for several hours of operation.
Only a 12V power source needs to be connected for operation. This ensures that the glow plug ignites the diesel and the fan works. The appliance starts quickly and reaches a stable operating temperature within a few minutes.
Like most diesel parking heaters, the parking heater comes from China and is technically based on the models from market leaders Webasto and Eberspächer.
Current consumption: Starting current and operation
The power consumption of the diesel parking heater varies depending on the operating phase. When starting, the appliance requires a high starting current of up to 14 amps. This is because the glow plug has to ignite the diesel in the combustion chamber. This process requires a high energy supply for a short time in order to reach the required temperature.
As soon as the heating is running, electricity consumption drops significantly. In regular operation, the 12V parking heater requires around 40 watts (approx. 3-4 amps at 12 volts). This makes them extremely efficient and enables them to be operated using a car battery or a stand-alone photovoltaic system, provided this has sufficient capacity.
Fuel consumption: efficiency in operation
The fuel consumption of the Vevor 8kW diesel parking heater depends on the power level set. On average, consumption is between 0.1 and 0.25 liters of diesel per hour. Consumption is highest at the highest level (8kW), while significantly less diesel is consumed at lower levels.
Depending on the operating mode, running times of 20 to 50 hours are possible with a 5-liter tank. A detailed analysis of the fuel consumption and the exact test results can be found in the later section of this article.
Alternative fuels: diesel and heating oil
The Vevor diesel parking heater is not only dependent on diesel, but can also be operated with heating oil without any problems, which means no additional costs for many owners of oil heating systems. Both fuels are chemically very similar, which makes them equally suitable for use in this heater. As the heating system does not have a sensitive injection system, the use of heating oil that does not contain any additives of modern diesel fuels is completely unproblematic.
Advantages of heating oil over diesel
- Cost efficiency: Heating oil is often cheaper than diesel, especially when purchased in bulk for domestic use. This can significantly reduce the operating costs of the parking heater.
- Availability: Heating oil offers a practical alternative, especially in rural areas or for longer periods of operation, as it is already available in large quantities in many households.
To ensure smooth operation, make sure that the heating oil used is specifically suitable for heating appliances. Contaminated heating oil or unsuitable mixtures can disrupt the combustion process and impair the service life of the heating system in the long term.
Thanks to this flexibility, the Vevor diesel parking heater offers even more application possibilities, whether in the animal house, in the garden shed or when camping. At the same time, it saves operating costs without compromising on heating performance.

Preparation: The structure of the test
To test the diesel heater under realistic conditions, I took the following steps:
- Placement: The test took place in winter in my well-ventilated garden kitchen. The outside temperature was around 0°C.
- Connections: Air and flue pipes were installed. The exhaust hose was merely plugged on and not firmly connected. As the test was carried out outdoors, the risk of poisoning from exhaust fumes was very low.
- Diesel tank: The tank was filled to a third with diesel – enough for several hours of test operation.
- Power supply: For the power supply, I used a 300W transformer that converts 220V alternating current into 12V direct current. The transformer was connected directly to a socket and the output was connected to the two contact points of the heating box.
- Temperature measurement: A thermometer in front of the air outlet recorded the outgoing air temperature to check the heating capacity.
These realistic test conditions enabled a comprehensive assessment of the heating system under winter temperatures.

Start and warm-up phase
After switching on, the heating started initializing:
- The click of the diesel pump was audible before the glow plug started the combustion process.
- After about three minutes, the heating was stable and the first warm air was blown out.
How the diesel heater works
The diesel pump plays a central role in the operation of the heating system. It feeds the fuel from the tank into the combustion chamber, where it is ignited by the glow plug. The characteristic click is created by the step-by-step delivery of the fuel. Each movement of the pump piston produces a small noise, which is noticeable due to the even cycle.
If no fuel enters the combustion chamber, the heater recognizes this and aborts operation with an error message. In such cases, I restarted the heating, which repeated the pumping process to remove air from the pipe.
Alternative solution: Manual pump control
The heating also offers a practical function: there is a setting in the remote control menu that can be used to control the pump manually. This allows the fuel to be delivered in a targeted manner without having to start the heating system several times. This function is particularly useful if the heater needs to be refilled after a long period of time or after the tank has been replaced.
Important observations
- The noise from the pump and fan was clear, but not disturbing.
- The exhaust hose warmed up, but remained tight – a sign of correct installation.
This phase showed that the diesel heater works reliably and that its functions are well thought out to eliminate potential problems such as air in the pipe.
- Aluminium Flex Rohr Nennweite ØD = 75 mm Innendurchmesser
Performance test and temperature development
The diesel heating was gradually adjusted to different power levels:
- Level 3 (medium): The outflowing air reached over 57°C.
- Level 6 (maximum): The temperature at the air outlet rose to over 80°C.
- Outdoor temperature: At an ambient temperature of 11°C, the heating functioned stably and efficiently.
During the test phase, the diesel supply was constant and the heating ran without interruption.
Noise development
The volume of the heating varied depending on the power level:
- At levels 1 and 2, the noise level was very quiet. The fan worked quietly and the heating was barely noticeable – ideal for use in noise-sensitive environments.
- From levels 3 and 4, the fan became clearly audible, but still bearable. The noise remained within the range of acceptable operating noise.
- However, the fan was very loud at level 5 and especially level 6. The noise dominated the room and could no longer be ignored in a closed environment.
In addition, the clicking of the pump increased noticeably with the height of the step. While the volume of the clicking remained the same, the very fast clocking at level 6 resulted in a clearly perceptible background noise.
At full power (level 6), a conversation at room volume near the heater was barely possible. This observation shows that the heating is less suitable for continuous operation at the highest level in living areas. However, it remains a strong and reliable option for outdoor areas or workshops where noise is less of an issue.

Exhaust gas management and safety
Exhaust gases
The exhaust hose became very hot during operation. Although I was unable to measure the exact temperature, I estimate it to be over 100°C. This shows how much heat is dissipated via the exhaust gases and underlines the importance of heat-resistant installation.
To check the safety, I placed a carbon monoxide detector near the exhaust pipe as a test. The detector sounded the alarm immediately, showing that even the smallest amounts of escaping carbon monoxide can be dangerous.
Security
Correct and airtight installation of the flue pipe is crucial, especially for operation in closed rooms. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas that can be produced if exhaust gases are not adequately vented. Even small amounts can lead to poisoning, which in the worst case can be fatal.
Risks of incorrect installation
- Carbon monoxide poisoning: Escaping exhaust fumes can enter the interior unnoticed. Symptoms range from dizziness and nausea to unconsciousness or death.
- Fire hazard: The exhaust hose becomes extremely hot. If it comes into contact with flammable materials, it can ignite.
- Inefficient function: Leaky connections can impair flue gas discharge, which can disrupt the operation of the heating system and reduce the service life of the appliance.
Mounting instructions
I used an exhaust assembly paste to seal the exhaust pipe, which hardens at high temperatures and provides a reliable seal. Such a measure is essential in order to completely and safely discharge the exhaust gases from the operating area.
Tip: When operating indoors, the use of a carbon monoxide detector is mandatory, even if all connections are correctly installed. This provides an additional layer of security against potentially fatal hazards.

Results of the test
Performance
The Vevor diesel heater impressed with its high heat output, especially at the higher levels. Even at outside temperatures of -10°C, it managed to bring the inside temperature of the bird house to a very warm 30°C at the highest setting (6).
Consumption
In my three years of experience, the diesel consumption of the heater has leveled off at around 0.2 liters per hour (level 2, outside temperature -10°C, inside temperature birdhouse 15°C). This means that the 5-liter tank is sufficient for a runtime of 2 to 3 nights.
With a consumption of 0.2 liters per hour, the heater is one of the more efficient models in this performance class. Compared to electric fan heaters, it offers considerable savings in operating costs.
I will still replace the integrated tank with a much larger tank when I build my heater box to further increase the running time.
Volume
The noise level depends heavily on the power level:
- At levels 1 and 2, the heater is pleasantly quiet and is well suited for use in a workshop or animal house.
- From level 3, the noise level increases noticeably, particularly due to the intake hose for the combustion air, which generates a wind noise. This background noise is so loud at the highest levels (5 and 6) that it is problematic to use it indoors without sound insulation.
In addition, I could retrofit a silencer to the intake hose or help to further reduce the noise by using sound-insulating materials.
To minimize the overall noise level, I plan to install the mobile parking heater in a heating box on the outside wall of my garden shed. This keeps the noise development in the interior inconspicuous.
Power requirement
When starting, the heater requires a short peak current of up to 14 amps due to the pre-heating of the spark plug. During my test, this was possible without any problems thanks to operation via a 300 W transformer connected to the mains, which demonstrates the flexibility of the 12 V parking heater. When used with my solar batteries, however, this could lead to problems at low charge levels.
In continuous operation, the power requirement is surprisingly low at around 40 watts (3-4 amps at 12 volts). This makes the heating very efficient and well suited for self-sufficient systems such as a photovoltaic island system.
Conclusion of the test results
The 8kW diesel parking heater from Vevor is impressive:
- Efficient heat output: Reliable and powerful even in icy temperatures.
- Low diesel consumption: several nights of operation possible with a 5-liter tank.
- Flexible use: Pleasantly quiet at low levels in workshops or animal houses.
- Low power consumption: Economical when heating in continuous operation, but short load peaks when starting.
For operation in noise-sensitive areas, installation in an outdoor unit or heating box is recommended to minimize the noise level. These measures and the test results under various conditions show that the heater is a reliable solution for many areas of application.
The Vevor diesel parking heater is ideal for anyone looking for a cost-effective, powerful and flexible heating solution – whether for the animal house, the workshop or when camping.

Technical strengths and weaknesses of diesel heating
Advantages of the Vevor diesel parking heater
1. simple operation:
The remote control supplied makes operating the heater convenient. Both the temperature setting and the choice of power levels can be conveniently controlled. In addition, the remote control menu offers the option of operating the diesel pump manually, which is very useful when bleeding the line or after a tank change.
2. high heating power:
With a maximum output of 8kW, the heater delivers an impressive heat output that is sufficient to heat indoor spaces such as a bird house to up to 30°C, even in icy outside temperatures of -10°C. Heat is also reliably generated at medium levels (e.g. level 3), making them efficient for smaller rooms or continuous operation.
3. compact and mobile design:
The robust metal box with integrated carrying handle and 5-liter tank makes the heater easy to transport. It is ideal for mobile applications such as camping, garden sheds or workshops. Thanks to its compact design, it fits easily into confined spaces and is still robust enough for outdoor use.
4. energy efficiency:
Diesel consumption at low levels is very low at around 0.2 liters per hour, which significantly reduces operating costs compared to electric heating solutions. The power requirement in continuous operation is only 40 watts, which makes them an excellent choice for self-sufficient systems such as photovoltaic systems.
Challenges during the test
1. pipe installation:
Tightening the pipe clamps for the air and exhaust pipes proved to be difficult, as access to the clamps is limited. The exhaust gas hose in particular, which becomes very hot at full power (estimated temperatures over 100°C), must be fitted absolutely tightly in order to safely discharge exhaust gases and eliminate the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
2. volume:
The heater operates pleasantly quietly at low levels (1 and 2). From level 3, however, the noise level increases significantly, particularly due to the intake hose for the combustion air, which generates a wind noise. At the highest levels (5 and 6), the fan becomes so loud that operation indoors without sound insulation is problematic. Silencers or an insulating heating box could provide a remedy.
3. power consumption:
The peak current requirement when starting is up to 14 amps, as the glow plug has to ignite the diesel. While this works without any problems with a transformer with mains power, problems could arise if the charge level of a solar battery is low. However, the power consumption of 40 watts is surprisingly low for continuous operation.
4. limited tank capacity:
The integrated 5-liter tank is sufficient for 2 to 3 nights at low levels. For longer operating times or higher output levels, a larger tank is required, which should be taken into account when planning a heater box.
Conclusion on the technical strengths and weaknesses
The Vevor diesel parking heater combines impressive heating performance and energy efficiency with a compact and mobile design. It is ideal for use in workshops, animal houses or when camping.
Some weaknesses such as the volume at high levels or the challenge of pipe installation can be compensated for with the right planning (e.g. sound insulation or a larger tank).
Overall, it is a reliable and versatile solution for many areas of application.
The Vevor diesel parking heater convinced me in the test. With its compact design, powerful heating output and low diesel consumption, it is suitable for a wide range of applications – whether in the animal house, in the garden shed or when camping.
In the next step, I will integrate the air heater into a mobile heating box that is weatherproof and can be transported flexibly. This step is documented in detail in a separate article.
