Why Sparks Overland?

Built the Right Way — Inside & Out

Real Metal Fuel Tank
No plastic. Ever. Our sealed, pressure-vented stainless steel fuel tank is safer, stronger, and built for long-term field use in harsh environments.

Diesel-Optimized Fuel System
Designed specifically for diesel operation, with premium fuel lines and filtration to ensure clean combustion, reliable priming, and long service life — even in sustained sub-freezing conditions.

A Proven ESPAR Core
Powered by the Espar Airtronic D4, the professional-grade diesel heater trusted in OEM, military, and expedition applications where high output and absolute reliability are non-negotiable.

Ultra-Quiet Magnetic Fuel Pump
Espar’s magnetic fuel pump dramatically reduces ticking noise compared to conventional solenoid pumps — making this one of the quietest high-output diesel heaters available, even at sustained output.

Full System Diagnostics
Advanced diagnostics and fault reporting provide real-time system insight, simplified servicing, and long-term reliability. This is a professional heating system, not a consumer gadget.

Premium Components Only
Stainless exhaust with muffler, sealed electrical connectors, high-quality fuel lines, and carefully selected hardware throughout. Built for durability — not cost cutting.

Fresh Air Combustion Design
All combustion air is drawn from outside the unit. No fumes, no odors, and no shared cabin air.

Hand-Built in Colorado
Every Sparks Overland heater is built one at a time by skilled hands. No mass production. No shortcuts.
