There is an inner combustion chamber, with its own air intake, a motor driven fan that the gas is sprayed into and ignited by the glow plug (till it gets going) and there is an exaust pipe that exits into the LF fender.. Cabin air gets sucked from the car under the dash and blown with a fan OVER the hot combustion chamber, heating the air and then into the cabin. So the combustion and fresh air are isolated. If the combustions chamber cracks or leaks in some way yes, you could get carbon monoxide in the cabin but this is unlikely Probably not unlikely enough to pass TODAYS safety standards though!

Wouldn't that be a monoxide problem? (not to mention having incredibly hot steel and exhaust vapors inside the car with you...) Ahhh South Texas winters have their advantages! Stephen J.
