A mate in Basingstoke gave me a free bottle of Butane today. He bought it for the fridge in his camper van years ago & only used it a couple of times, so it's virtually full. It's been sat in his garden for years, so has go e to a good home  I'd prefer Propane, but hey, it's free! |

Not much room to manoeuvre the heater in my little garage. I can't get it close to the axle, but hopefully I can raise the ambient temperature enough to be able to paint now, (no, I won't leave it on while I'm spraying).

That's cool!
I've no idea if we can get bottled LPG here.
Stinkey, I was just bathing in the luxury of warmth. Once I pull the garage door down, the insulated roof means I only need a small amount of heat to make it a comfortable working temperature, but it'll be handy to wind it up a bit for paint spraying. Keep meaning to buy some polystyrene sheet to lag the inside of the door.

I'll get a carbon monoxide alarm soon.
Now I've finally got some heat, I'm too knackered when I get home from work to go & make use of it. The Christmas craziness is in full swing at work, so after 5 or 6 hours of marching around the streets in the rain, delivering everybody else's Christmases, I just want to sleep until I have to go back & do it again the next day.
So progress may be slow until Crimbo is safely out of the way.

Lpg, propane, same thing in uk, there is very little butane in it. I've been running my v6 mg on it for 6 years and 140,000 miles. Half price motoring, nearly. Less and less retailers selling it though. When I retire I might consider getting a tank, if I can negotiate a decent contract. |
