Subject:      Thermostat-controlled gas heater?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Here's a question: has anyone ever connected an
(interior) thermostat to a BA6 gasoline heater? This
would be in lieu of the cheerful green knob, so that
the heater could keep the interior at a constant temp
all night, rather than waking up every 45 min. to
reset the timer...

It seems like such a simple idea to me that it must
have been tried before (hopefully without firey
consequences). If you've done this or heard of anyone
trying it, please let me know!

I've also heard about the Canadian heater-timers and
would like to know whether these can be readily
installed in an American model and whether they work.
Seems like they would tend to under- or overheat the
vehicle if they go on every X minutes regardless of
inside temp.

Thanks,

Jim
