Morning All,
Yet another one for the brains trust. Got the diesel heater installed over the weekend and loving the speed at which it brings my tent on wheels *cough* sorry expanda up to a nice cosy temp.
As a seperate package the seller sent me two muffler type silencers... for testing purposes I simply plugged one into the end of the exhaust pipe and it made no noticable difference in the noise coming from the exhaust what so ever. Now i'd expect there to be the possibility of some of the air escaping before the muffler as I didn't clamp it on or anything like that was just a friction fit into the pipe.
So the question I have is, should the muffler be positioned at some kind of mid point before the end of the exhaust pipe? or shouldn't matter (Clearly I'm an Electronics Geek and not a mechanical genious).
Also, I've already got the intake silencer (Plastic filter) installed on the intake which to be honest doesn't seem to make much noise at all, so should I run two mufflers on the exhaust? Or go the extra effort and run the muffler on intake again at a midpoint with the silencer installed as well.
Hope that made sense to someone as the noise outside the van is consierable. I'm not expecting run silent covert type van heater, but I'd like to not annoy everyone around me running what sounds like a jet engine taking off all night.
