Defrosting - not for the Eberspacher afficionados

Postby the gardener » Wed Feb 13, 2008 7:14 pm

I plugged a 1.5kw 240v fan heater in the garage and stuck it in the cab this morning for ten minutes while we loaded when we set off didn't steam up inside, and all the ice had melted. I'm teaching people to suck eggs aren't I?

I must ask....why because you're parked in the garage, or because you leave it in the previous day?

For a petrol one go for a MK3 amby v6

youl know a petrol when you see it, the code will be a B not a D

so B1LC

Petrols also chuck out more heat 8)

My mate ran one in his garage but didnt have the metering pump, he got it going with a gravity fed fuel system. There were flames and petrol coming out the exhaust :shock: :lol: :lol:
