When we first got The Bozobus running (after his long hiatus) in '76, it was winter. Cranked on the heater and blew a vast amount of crud out across the windshield and roofline, and onto the people huddle on the engine cover in the back. What the original heater ('61) lacked in "fresh air" it more than made up for in sheer volume. (This type of heater used almost *all* of the fan's output volume (less leakage).)

If I could build an engine that 'wouldn't leak at all' I'd go back to the original heater...
