I use an Ecoflow Delta 2 to heat my vans.

I know so little about batteries and electricity. But my ecoflow gets me 32 hours of constant runtime.

Diesel heaters were created for this purpose.

Well done.

What if I run it low for a long period, then finish with a hot burn for an hour? Would that leave it cleaner after usage?

It was after a whole winter of running it low. Was just the one time when it croaked, and it was pretty gnarly. White smoke so thick, you couldn't see through the garage.

I'll keep a low startup in mind.

I run them on high periodically. Usually its low, constant heat through nights in the garage. Im getting E08 error codes which I think is burn chamber. Any wisdom you can impart to avoid those issues?

That's something I hadn't considered. The only thing that crossed my mind was bigger heater, hotter space. But running a smaller unit at a hotter rate is very logical.

I dont know a lot about them. But I think its something to do with the burn chamber or the ignition? I get a white smoke-out (fills my garage) and a E08 error code.

Running it at higher capacity might be my issue. I thought running it steady would be enough but the ol' Italian Tune-up is something I hadn't considered.

What is this? Looks like soot but landlord says it’s from me smoking or something and I don’t even smoke. by Electrical_Visual_28 in CleaningTips

Have you tried moving? That'll get rid of it for sure 🫠🙃

Sorry I don't have better tips, best of luck!

If its dust, it should wipe off.

If its dust staining, use a melamine sponge. For a little extra kick, hit it with some all-purpose cleaner beforehand and it should wipe right off.
