KSKH is odorless and easier to store too

For now until I need to buy it in quantity, murdochs has it for 18 bucks.

Holy smokes! I've been planning to get a kerosene heater for backup but with those prices for fuel I think I'll go propane instead.

I have one of these, rarely light more than two, I wear more than a T-shirt, sit it close to where I'm working and when my fingers quit working I just hold my hands by the burner for a minute (remembering my last campfire) and go back to work. It heats me, not the entire garage. It's run all weekend at 5* outside on one bottle. For reference, 4 car garage with 2 old tech garage doors (no insulation).

Propane has fewer btu's per "gallon". A kerosene heater will do better over time. I bought it full retail. I would think.it would run around 5 a gallon at a pump. It smells just like jet fuel and actually it is.

If anyone wants to do the math (I don't

), propane is roughly 4.2 lb per gallon.

I didn't realize an E350 is a mini-van.

A 20lb bottle or "bbg" size bottle holds 4.5 gallons as that is all they will put in it to be safe.Costs about $20 last time I bought any.

Not. But I can certainly do the deed in a minivan by removing the front and rear wheels. Easy peasy.

But then how do you drive the van with the wheels removed? Load it in another, bigger van?

That's my guess. Any bike will fit in an E350. Some may require removing windshields.

Nor is a 990 a dr650.

I sold a KTM 450 to some guys that hauled it home in a Dodge Caravan, they had to lay it down. Made me a little sick.
