A duifficult one on the carbon issue. Grid electricity generates around 500g of CO2 for each kWh of energy delivered. So an EV getting 250Wh/mile is producing about 125g of CO2 per mile or 78g/km which is better than a Prius. Also wheras our Berlingo gets about 300-350Wh/mile (110g CO2/km at worst)....

Hi John There is a scientific and a prosaic answer here! Also you hit the nail on the head with the sealed container bit.

Saga continues... I thought I had solved this. I bit the bullet and sent the heater off to an authorised service agent having checked the pump as best I could ans was rewarded with a nice clean heater and a new burner cartridge fitted (oh and a bill for 180 pounds).

Just to keep all informed of progress..or lack of it. I pulsed a load of petrol through the pump as Chris described. But the heater still runs for a minute or so and then shuts down.
