Interesting read. Thanks for the pictures.

How is the noise level when it's running. Anything to compare? Like it's less than normal conversation. Or it's too noisy to sleep.

Thanks

it's quiet inside. the exhaust sounds like a small jet engine outside. inside you can hear the faint tick tick tick of the fuel pump. it slows down after the booster cycle finishes. the blower isn't too loud at all.

im wondering if perhaps this could work with biodisel? it would be cheaper fuel, most likely free fuel. and if im understanding what your saying, if it gets dirty from the bio, you just clean it out with kerosene?


the gang at thermoking said the truckers are starting to switch to kerosene as well as the diesel wears them out more quickly. i'll stick with the kerosene.

I highly recommend getting the exhaust muffler. It's listed on this page.

I know we're at record temps here but thought this interesting install location.

Spotted this back seat install over on www.Westcoastbays.com

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


I put ours under the back seat in mom's (86 westy) camper with a small garden tractor tank in the engine compartment.
