I will be helping a friend this weekend install an Espar D5 heater in his truck. I tried to search online to find some helpful information but was surprised to find very little.
I thought I would create my own record to assist others in the future if needed.
After review of the Espar manual I found a check valve which should make the install as unintrusive as possible and prevent unnecessary connections and fittings. I looked the unit over previous and found no ports/fittings on the engine which would be useful so it will need to be in parallel with the heater core.
I plan to mount the D5 under the air filter housing as I has seen someone else on here do to also still allow for the cab to tilt when required.
I am still trying to prevent drilling the factory fuel tank for the stand pipe is possible and hoping I may be able to tee into the factory fuel line.
Any other guideance before we start tomorrow?
I will update the pictures once everything is completed.
