Re: FOR SALE. Gasoline heaters

[Toby Erkson <Toby_Erkson@ccm2.hf.intel.com>]

I think the foremost question would be, "How much?", for the small and 
large units.  Also, are GOOD instructions supplied for those of us who are 
good "do-it-yourselfers"?  A question I would be concerned with, since I 
use mine as a daily driver, is where can I mount it and how much space does 
it take up?  And could I (fairly) easily remove it if I wanted more space 
(like summer picnics when a heater isn't needed)?

Fellow listees,

Just in couple months some of you will get chilly feelings in the
morning and reminder that winter isn't too far away.
Isn't now the right time to prepare yourself and have on board what is
called

  GASOLINE AUXILIARY HEATER - "THE ULTIMATE WAY TO BEAT THE COLD"?

This is the only practical device able to extract in very efficient way
the massive amount of energy stored in gasoline. Nothing comes close!

Install gasoline heater and get heat equal to 2.5 KW/ 8,500 BTU/HR
(small model) to 5.0 KW/17,000 BTU/HR (larger model).

That is a lot of heat! You would need a 12 volt generator outputting up
to 420 amps if you will attempt to have similar electric heat output!

Do not try to extract heat from oil in winter, unless you care less
about your engine. Good solution for hot summer! I hope all you realize
the importance of having oil hot soon after cold engine start.

This is the only heater which will warm up the interior before you get
inside the car! Made in Germany. For Volkswagen.

I accumulated many answers since my first contacts with gasoline heaters
in the sixties and regular service since 1981 and will be very glad to
answer your questions.
