Underseat systems have been widely discussed on type2.com, surprised they haven't been here. Search archives @ type2.com using term "propex". Hell, google with something like +propex +VW. I think there are a number of pages documenting installation and maintenance. I recall one by Tom Forhan. Propex heaters are no longer made, I think they were bought out by Carver, ho was bought out by someone else... I recall Ron Lussier (aka Coyote) installed one in his old 1990(?) westy. I had one in my old '76 westy deluxe, but a problem with the regulator on my tank kept it from working very well and then I had to sell my beautiful rust-free westy to pay for a blown motor on my (now very much out of the picture) %@#$%$! Trooper, but that's another sad story... Hope this helps!
