Subject:Heater booster thoughts?
From:jon

I just discovered my 1980 Westy has a heater booster (I wondered what that
green know was for...). Don't know if it works, have not tried it.

It seems like kind of a dangerous thing: fire hazard and CO poisoning.

But, it also seems like it would be handy for the winter camping trips.

So, does anyone have any thoughts on the use, safety, and maintenance of
this fire breather? (I read the section in Bentley on troubleshooting,
etc)
