Did 914's and buses have gasoline heaters and if so where were they and how did they work? Love to see a picture if anyone has one. |

I see that the Webasto 2000 uses either gas or diesel. So, if you have carbs you already have a gas line from the tank that you can tap into. Either for a front or rear installation.
The engine compartment is pretty crowded, access to everything, including a heater, would be tough - but an installation in the rear trunk might work. I have headers, so no heat. I put two 50 cfpm computer fans on each side of the car and pump air from the engine bay to the cabin, with pickup hoses near the center of the case. There is enough air flow to warm the car in town, but engine bay turbulence at higher speeds takes a lot of the warmth away. Should work fine with one of these heaters. |
