Title: Diesel heater
Post by: Tom Csibor on January 12, 2023, 10:07:56 PM

2000 Beaver Marquis.

Has anyone found a replacement for the diesel coach heater?

   Try International Thermal Research 800-993-4402. They make the replacement called an Oasis. Fred

I did check with ITR. Unfortunately at $9000 for the unit alone, it is a bit too pricey for me.

Investigating further, I do not have
A Hurricane heater.  I have a Whale F600
Water heater and an HL2-16 Eberspacher diesel heater.
The water lines are interconnected and also includes an external heat exchanger.

The Whale unit works fine, but the Eberspacher will not fire up. When turned on, I can hear a fan or motor running, but the burner will ot fire. After a short period of time, it will shut off the fan/pump.

  Tom, I dont know anything about that brand but if it were an Aqua Hot I would say be sure the battery power is charged and the reserve fluid tank is filled just above the cold line.
Next question is how old is the filter and the last full service.
It sounds like the purge cycle is running right but fails at ignition then shuts down.
Do you have manuals?

You might try to contact Butler Technik online to get help.  The Butler Technik website has heater units, repair parts, manuals with troubleshooting guides, repair service access, etc.
