Re: [T3] "gasoline heater"

["Todd Daley" <t.daley@sympatico.ca>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>VW did not abandon them......      with the advent of watercooled cars they
became unneccessary.....  even in the 80's you could get the watercooled
Vanagon Westies with a BA6 gasoline heater for use while camping..

My 1982 Diesel Vanagon has a diesel operated BA6 under it as an auxiliary
heater....

You can even buy brand new Eberspacher gas heaters...

I have experience on working on Eberspacher and Stewart Warner gas heaters,
and have had no problems so far......
