Our hydronic heating system on board Terratima has a Webasto diesel fueled unit. It has not worked properly from the day it was installed. After years of frustration with the system, the final straw came when we discovered that the heat transfer jacket was cracked and water (glycol) was entering the combustion chamber. The cost to replace the jacket was $1,400 for the part. I had it ripped out and replaced with a Russian-built unit that cost me the same amount and has worked flawlessly. So much for American ingenuity.
