    A man points at a metal heating box containing machinery and a yellow fluid tank; a large white arrow indicates transferring liquid from a red fuel container into the parking heater. www.commaik.de

To solve the problem, I fitted the diesel heater in my aluminum box with a larger fuel tank. In this article, I describe step by step how I installed the new 10-litre tank, optimized the heating box and achieved a constant heat supply for my animal house. I share my experiences, tips and challenges, from planning and installing the tank extractor set to the first successful test

    In my search for an efficient and self-sufficient heating solution for my garden shed, I decided to build a mobile heating box with a diesel parking heater. My aim was to create a compact, weatherproof and flexible heating box that not only reliably heats my animal house, but can also be used in the camper, motorhome or for other projects.
