M68 Gasoline Duct Heater

Anyone know anything about these heaters? I picked up 3 of them - one for my shop, one for spare parts, and I guess one spare parts spare.

Most of the ducting is trash but I think I can piece one whole set together from all three.

The TM should still be on LOGSA. If you don't find it I may have one in my files. Wayne

BTW A heating and cooling company should be able to replace the duct.

Thanks. I had a problem last time I tried getting into LOGSA but there are a couple of other sites that have the TMs.

I was just curious about anyone who has used them. I'm planning on running the duct work through an extra dog door I have in the shop. Since I'm in TX I don't need heat a lot but there are times Dec-Mar when it would be nice.

I have one but never used it, I hate winding that d$% pull cord. You might consider putting a squeeze bulb in the fuel line to help prime it or use either. Wayne

I bought one on ebay a while ago, I mounted it permanently to my m1OO trailer,
I use it to preheat the Cessna in the winter. Luckily all my ducts were in good shape.
Works like gangbusters. I mounted a cordless drill adapter to spin start it rather than winding the rope.

Don't tease, more info please. Wayne

How do you like your heater now that you've had a chance to use it/them?
