   I don't think that either would put out nearly enough BTU's to make a   
   difference; even in a one car garage.  You're going to need a propane   
   heater, or otherwise.

   Unless there is leaking fuel, I don't see an issue...  So as long as   
   fuel is properly stored.  In my six car garage, the previous owners had   
   a wood/coal stove.  He did auto-body work in the garage.  I dearly hope   
   that he didn't use aerosol and oil based paints in the winter... not   
   that it matters now.  I plan to put a wood/coal pot belly stove back in,   
   and keep cars and fuel good and well away from it.
