Be prepared to start changing filters like crazy if you put bio-diesel in your truck. After 3 sets or so you should be good.....thats how much crap is going to come off the inside of the tank/lines.
I don't have an evaporator installed on my deuce and I've never had issues with it up here. I also have not seen an evaporator kit installed on the reserve unit vehicles up here either.
The propane torch won't be able to get it hot enough due to the amount of metal you're trying to heat. Acetelyne torch is about the only thing that will get hot enough. I doubt a MAPP gas torch will even get hot enough.
