Grabbed a BlueHeat brochure tonight at the Toronto Auto Show. It appears to be a small gas powered heater that is installed in your vehicle so that it provides near instant heat and engine warm up. Anybody out there heard and/or has experience of it? > Grabbed a BlueHeat brochure tonight at the Toronto Auto Show.

Not that particular one. Similar heaters have long been part of the auto scene, however. Wasn't Stewart Warner a big producer of gasoline heaters in the forties? > > Grabbed a BlueHeat brochure tonight at the Toronto Auto Show.

They drew a feed from the carb's fuel bowl. A gentleman by the name of Bill Cannon is still marketing reproductions of this heater for use in classic cars. > You may be thinking of "South Wind" gasoline-powered heaters.

Yep, those are the ones. My dad had one in an old Ford. A number of years later he bought a VW beetle. Sorry heater in those old bugs. He found another South Wind, and installed it. Great results! |
