Opinion Only, Had an Espar in a boat at one time. Worked OK. Was a little noisier than the Propex in the Westy but never ran out of fuel. The tie breaker was the cost. Espar is about 250% more money than the Propex. Service and parts lookout. If its a question of safety a 12v carbon monoxide and propane sniffer/alarm are an other option. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Guzyk" <paullist08@GUZYK.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 10:17 AM Subject: Espar Airtronic?
