Durango, ish.
Yes... honestly it's a glaring design flaw in all these diesel heaters. IF the exhaust clogs up.... it's still burning stuff, and it has heat, so hte heat builds up and causes the gaskets to fail INTERNALLY in the unit. Then the exhaust can start coming out the heat output port. Kind of blows my mind that these are produced the way they are, the failure mode can literally kill people. I see stories of people dying occasionally because of these, and now I always wonder if it was an improper installation, or if it was so cold that the exhaust clogged and the interior filled with CO. I actually do have a generator, brand new, but it's still in the box. Was trying really hard to not use it.
Incorrect. If the exhaust is clogged... it can bypass the gasket in the heater itself, and start leaking into the heat output area. In my video you can witness this, as I hold the CO monitor up to the heat vent. It wasn't leaking from the exhaust joint, it was coming right out of the unit.
Since switching to victron, this system has been awesome.
