Of course, in a Westy, silly! Plenty of more 'normal' choices for a
home. This was an attempt at on-demand hot water, not some contraption
that involves starting the engine and warming it up just for a couple
minutes hot water. Best place to make hot water is right near the tap -
otherwise it will waste a lot of that 50 or less liter capacity. The
glow plug heaters will work, just require a storage container to recycle
through, one that retains heat long-term. Got that part, just no more
time to play with the design of it yet.
