When we first got The Bozobus running (after his long hiatus) in '76, it
was winter.  Cranked on the heater and blew a vast amount of crud out
across the windshield and roofline, and onto the people huddle on the
engine cover in the back.  What the original heater ('61) lacked in "fresh
air" it more than made up for in sheer volume.  (This type of heater used
almost *all* of the fan's output volume (less leakage).)

If I could build an engine that 'wouldn't leak at all' I'd go back to the
original heater...
