I am buying a propane vented platcat and found an installation in the
archives that includes venting into the  passenger side battery compartment
(85 Westy).  Is there a down side to this installation (like blowing myself
up??)??  I know that the compartment is vented, but is the path for exhaust
too circuitous for efficient operation.  It also calls for the intake air
to come from the door panel fresh air intake.  How does one insure that the
air being used is not coming from the van itself???
