Thought of this, this morning mainly for camping...but it should work for when the vehicle is moving as well....Kinda a DIY project that makes me wonder why the Bug crowd hasn't done this already...So i'm second-guessing myself.

Anyway...here's my idea....Since I already converted my Mercedes Diesel to run on veggie oil - I realized the same parts can be utilized to build a heating system.

Parts:

* Inline 12v heater (bought on Ebay for $70 - basically a temp. controlled glow plug in a metal Tee)
* inline electric carb fuel pump (or 12v water pump - eg early Westy)
* water container (small windshield resevoir or header tank from an import car)
* antifreeze/water
* small 12v electric fan (forced heating)
* vent panel (fitment under rear seat)
* small heater core
* 3/8" hose - a couple of feet
* some bracketry
* relay and wiring to aux. battery including switch

Fit the whole thing under the rear seat.

Can anyone tell me why this would be a bad idea?

Thanks.
