Goeff.  My tank is in the middle of my Eagle.  The gashole is not straight down.  With some luck, I may be able to drop a nut on a string down into the tank as some people do, but generally I can keep track of mileage and tell how much fuel I have left.  But I may try that tomorrow to see if it works.

Put an hour meter on the burner circuit.

Published rate of fuel consumption x hour reading = close enough for busnut calculations

Happy coaching!

Propane makes nice heat but I was not particularly fond of hauling my tanks to propane filling stations every week when I was fulltiming in my MCI. I will take my diesel burner thank you. :-)

Both propane and oil companies will make local deliveries. Their minimums are typically less than 100 gallons, sometimes considerably less.

Where I lived in Anaheim three years ago, the local propane company made local deliveries but they discontinued this when one of their lead drivers retired.  Not every city/town has this option so you are left to pull your propane tanks out of your bus if you have removable tanks or if unlucky, pack up all of your stuff and drive to your local propane filling station.

Thanks a lot for this, Clifford.  It's really helpful.  I'm sure Gary and I can solve our AH problems based on this condescending information you've just shared.

LOL I owned A/H and Webasto for years they ARE great when they work, then you pay to keep it working though.Loyd and Rich do ok maintaining those systems  .The older they get the more it cost to keep one going just a fact of life $250.00 for any part on 1 sounds cheap

I wouldn't trade my webasto for anything.  It's nice getting out of bed in the morning and not having the floor feel like an ice skating rink when you put your feet down. I also have propane heat, as well as heat pumps, and the webasto gets a lot more use. Even when we are plugged in.

Are we talking Aqua/Hot or just the Webasto ?,MCI has stopped offering the Webasto none of Arrow Stage Lines have Webasto's only the Pro/Heat lol I have a pallet full of Webasto they gave me   

[thomasinnv]

No aqua hot just webasto. I built my own system using the webasto that came with the bus. I like the kiss method.
