well the gas heater does have a combustion chamber and an exhaust pipe. It
just doesn't convert the fuel to kinetic energy. I'd tell him to get a warm
blanket or have it rebuilt by somebody who knows how to do it using new
parts. There's a reason that you don't see them widely used anymore.
There are more modern versions that are much safer too but they do cost a
few bucks.
Also if you have a walk thru bus don't think that you can install one
either. The tire well in the rear takes up the space where the heater could
be installed.
