ual fuel COSTS worked out. :)

I'd like to hear more about the "relatively cheap flame detector".
 

During demo, it was capable of being triggered by a propane heater that was 30 feet away that just happened to be pointing at the detector.

The detection bulb is about the size of an H1 halogen bulb (Un-shelled peanut size?), and can be separate from the circuit board if needed. Cost was around $200 if I remember right.

Supposedly is NOT triggered by infrared radiation (such as glowing hot manifolds) but only by a specific band of UV light that is present in open flames/combustion.

I'm sure Marc will be able to give the nitty gritty when he gets back to a computer.

Great Fly-in, guys.. glad to have been there.
