How to connect to your tank: Easy Ford Diesel Heater Install!

Learn how to seamlessly integrate a budget-friendly Chinese diesel heater into your 2018 Ford Transit diesel van without the need for an extra fuel tank. Follow my step-by-step guide on tapping directly into Ford's existing diesel tank, all while keeping the tank drop minimal (less than 4 inches). Discover the process of connecting the Ford diesel auxiliary line with valuable tips and insights, including the highs, lows, and setbacks I encountered during installation. Additionally, I'll share a crucial detail not featured in the video—how I later added cable clips to secure the fuel line to the van body and prevent contact with the exhaust tube. Don't miss this essential information to ensure a smooth installation process. Now, with a well-heated van, you'll be ready for cozy nights in the mountains. Watch and optimize your van build with these practical tips!

You can do it! It isn't that hard of a project to do. Just take it step by step.
