Portable propane heating unit aims to curb cold engine idling
Wellington inventors John Devoss and Roy Jeffrey Jr have developed a compact propane fired heating unit for trucks. It keeps engines warm to prevent fuel gelling and may slash idle fuel use, with tested performance at extreme cold and high altitude. The device, portable and adaptable, could cost about 1800 dollars retail and 1200 to distributors.
