[AT] cold weather vehicles

[Ronald L. Cook]

Ralph,
	I am pretty sure you are correct about the carbon monoxide hazard.  A 
fellow could duplicate the shroud with stainless steel and get away from 
the rust/burnout problems to a great extent.  A little CO detector like 
used in airplanes would probably be a good idea.
