Good question Marc,

Vehicles such as the LSVW have fuel fired heaters which in conjunction with a circulation pump warm the engine to make first time starting reliable in an arctic environment. Unfortunately they were the item that were prone to going bang or just catching fire. The cause of which I am not aware of.

The fuel fired heaters are not new technology.
