    Aux. fuel tank advice

    portable air unit

    I don't know anything about the numbers but I have had for over two years an AC in my garage that vents outside and the unit stays inside and it keeps my dogs real cool and have never had a problem. I also have a small beverage refrigerator back there and they both are on most times we travel.
