Re: [T3] gas heaters


KevinG=> the guy selling them says the BN4 came
=> out of a type 3,

Not.

=> Can't you control these things, so that they are not too hot, ...?

Sure. The trick is getting all the wiring and switches as well as all the
ducting, exhaust parts, fuel pump, everything.

=> I imagine that extra heat can't be bad ...

Maybe not, but there's still nowhere to mount a BN4 in a Type 3. It exhausts
straight down and back through a 2" pipe (yup, bigger than the engine
tailpipe), and the heater itself is pretty big.

The Type 4 heater (BN5?) mounts above the transaxle and mixes air into the
stock heating system, which I think is the most advanced design. It might be
adaptable to the Type 3, but I haven't yet seen it done.
