    Best hoses and connectors for plumbing a water system?

    2KW Portable Diesel Air Heater

    I'm guessing they all come from the same factory, but get new names slapped on by the Chinese resellers. I have a Vevor.

    2KW Portable Diesel Air Heater

    Yes, there are many options for diesel heaters. I do like the Rigid case as I already use these in my vehicle, and I have a 3D printer, learning curve is really short if you are somewhat technical surprisingly.
