RE: [DMCForum] I'm back with another kooky question!

["Travis Goodwin" <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry. The car overheated because I had to idle to get enough juice to
power
the 300W inverter. The idling combined with the covered rear of the car =
busted radiator. The whole cooling system was replaced shortly after that.

What I'm trying to do is be able to run the fogger (at car shows and such)
while the engine is off.
