Jason does have the RED warning gas cap. Yes, he should be pulling air from the passengers compartment. Jason lives in SoCal. How often do you think he will actually use that heater. ;=) If the heater is installed with ALL the components, it should pull combustion air from under the car. The thread that started all this was asking about installing one in a '71. That car has the filler on the outside, not in the trunk. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
