Yes, Robin's right.
The Eberspacher is fine and once started draws little fuel.
In fact, at full belt it only uses a third of a litre per hour.
They are supposed to be 'MOT'ed' each year ie Check the glow pin, clean ventilation hole and maybe replace the atomizing screen. If necessary, take the heater apart and clean the combustion tube and the heat exchanger. I confess to not doing those things, and it works fine, but it should be done on a new one each year by a proper Eber Agent to maintain your guarantee.
If the weather lets up I will remove the battery and bring it indoors to charge, and see if it is duff.
Hard to test, as resistance tests don't work on a gel battery.
We shall see, but having the heater working over what is said to be our worst winter in years may be a good thing!
