Kerosene, Diesel, Coal are some of the dirtiest fuels, that is the down side, I am still not sure why anyone would burn them in small space like a closed down van especially if they are not vented. They now outlaw these kinds of fuels in parts of the world when used in furnaces and the reason being that they are not healthy for your neighbours to breath. The heater that this thread initiallly was talking about was vented to the outside as is the Dickenson model. A down side of these vented diesel heaters is that they smoke and smell compared to the cleaner burning propane. Even with propane it should be vented as the condensation becomes an issue if not vented or a depletion of oxygen occurs with all the none vented ones so a window has to be left open which kinda defeats the purpose of heating.
