Gee- why is this? A gas heater is like an engine
without pistons- and it uses way less gas than your
engine.

What a bunch of pansies! They work all day around
cars
with gasoline all around all day and then someone
yells "gas heater" and they run out of the building.
Just the sight of the green knob with the white
cross
is fearsome .

The manuals are available free at Type2.com.
22,000 btu- toasty warm car in five -ten minutes
without starting the engine. Conserves fuel when
used
for morning heating instead of idling the engine.
Uses average 1 pint hour-much less than the engine.
What have you discovered on the net? I have been
working on gas heaters for 20 years and I haven't
yet
heard one horror story.
I've seen a lot of burnt busses though, and few had
gas heaters. Those burned from engine fires.
As for your LED panel, yours is the version without
a
switch- an LED is in place of where the switch is on
later models.
I service and sell gas heaters- the BA-6 is one of
the
best. if you need advice service or parts please
e-mail me.
The BA-6 is very safe to operate -however, just like
all other things that run on a fuel, they should be
inspected and serviced if need be periodically.
