These heaters - along with the webasto - are very finicky - not a trip goes by where we do t think … oh God are we going to have heat this time or not. The problem you are experiencing is most likely related to the OEM standpipe in your fuel tank being too big - what happens is that pathetic little pump cannot draw a head on the fuel and so it takes forever to get fuel to the heater. A smaller diameter standpipe fixed that problem - however it’s an intensely arduous job installing it as you pretty much have to remove and dismantle the entire fuel tank. The real problem is the lousy design of the pulse fuel pump - unfortunately this happens nearly all the time unless the standpipe is replaced.
It is not uncommon for our heater to take 4-5 tries to get fired - and yea, it’s worse at high altitude. Crap design if you ask me … hard to believe they charge as much as they do for something that is such a PITA to get fired.
Letters to both companies have been completely ignored and the dealers don’t really even know the products well enough to actually support them. Wish there was a better alternative .
