Hello to all hope all is going well, I have recently picked up 3 Coleman heaters off eBay. First I picked up a 5000btu and it’s used but very little, works great, I love it so far. These babies put off no deadly fumes but do remove the oxygen, So using them I just make sure I have a window in my van cracked very little. No problems and I’ve spent hours in my van with this heater going. Even with the windows up my conversion van seems to have plenty of oxygen I guess due to little insulation in the factory conversion.
Anyway I picked up 2 more after I liked the first one so much, first a 3000btu and then a new never lit adjustable 3,000/5,000btu. Well my favorite of the 3 which is the adjustable being never lit I wanted to put it up and not use it being it’s brand new. Well there’s one problem, the metal screen that covers the catylist is rusting. I don’t know what the best fix would be for this. If I try to sand it off the dust would probably ruin the catylist. Or I am wondering if running it would cure the issue and if so should I do this now or put it up hoping it doesn’t get worse?? Any suggestions??
