what a uneducated closed minded statement. ive had vans/ westys with gas
heaters and the eberspacher is OVERengineered as far as safety..   its a simple
system.
stories you have heard about engine fired are related to fuel lines, just
like the fuel lines in your vanagons engine. if you dont replace 20 year old fuel
lines, they leak.  basic stuff here.  service people dont want to touch it?
because they are as uneducated as you are about it.  lots of shops around here
dont want to touch a VANAGON period..because they are unfamiliar with the
vanagon and dont want the hassle.
