    How are you connecting the heater to the powerstation?
    What is the max draw of the diesel heater? Your Delta can handle up to 1800W.

    OP is probably not running a heater these days but 12v diesel heaters only run an average of 2amps (24watts) between startup and running (8amps to start, then 0.5 while running)

    Thanks, I was actually quoting @21TacoTRDPRO not the OP. He mentioned his Delta wasn't able to run his diesel heater so I was trying to help him out as his Delta should have no issues running it.

    I actually got it to work. What I found out is that the cigarette lighter Adapter which has a 30 amp fuse also has a glass tube fuse. That fuse kept popping out so I replaced it with a 30 amp bussman fuse and it's working great
