So I will likely swap out the little Espar internal filter for an external unit before I put very many hours on the heater.

I doubt either would without a filter, since these heaters will likely burn just about anything put into them that would come from a typical fueling station. This is because the pump will not be able to provide the required fuel leading to in proper fuel mixtures or starvation.

However, you don’t have to replace the whole filter; the heating section and filter head usually stay. When paraffin crystals reach the chamber, they will block the glow plug screen, which causes various heater malfunctions.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). Interestingly they advise fitting before the pump and didn't seem bothered about it being plastic, as it was not being used on inland waterways. When the pre-heated diesel enters the combustion chamber, it spreads well into the glow plug screen.

The good news is that the Vvkb heated fuel filter can be mounted on Chinese diesel heaters too, solving the issue for most users. Regardless of opinion on the need to use the add-on inline filter, I learned that I need to plan my refueling carefully to get the highest grade diesel available, and avoid refueling purely on demand.

If using poor quality fuel that has been sitting around and allowed to collect water or particulates, than a filter might help, but likely not necessary.

Ensure proper ventilation in the area where the heater is used, keep flammable materials away from the heater, and regularly inspect the unit for any signs of damage or wear. I’m installing my Espar S2 D2 diesel heater and have seen a knowledgeable guy’s YouTube series recommending addition of an inline fuel filter ahead of the pump for an Espar/Webasto/Chinese diesel heater. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. I also installed the Agile 28 gallon aux fuel tank, which has an inline filter at the transfer pump between it and the factory tank. I only hesitate because the switch to an in-line filter seems to be a PITA given the requirement to adapt different hose diameters to accommodate a large inline filter.It has been proven that fitting this fuel filter unit to the fuel line can increase service periods for the heater and reduce issues associated with poor fuel quality. I am in the process of fitting a Mikuni diesel heater and wondered whether it is necessary to fit an inline fuel filter. The fuel filter should be replaced at regular intervals to ensure that any dirt in the fuel tank will not end up in the burner.
