While in the Army stationed at Fairbanks, Alaska, my Jeeps and trucks had gasoline burning heaters. My Jeep heater was between the seats like a console, but my truck was outside by the front fender/cowl side. They would keep you toasty in there. As a side note, we used small rectangular metal box heaters called Yukon stoves in our tents that burned gasoline too. We had a 5 gal. can of gas outside the tent with a hose run into tent. This was fine until you let the gas get low in the can and an air pocket would put out the flame then the gas would come back on the hot burner and explode. Someone had to be awake at all times to watch it and fill the can again.
