I have a 1986 El Camino 305 cub. in. To use this product is it necessary or mandatory to use the Evans-prep waterless flush and to drain the block?

You must make sure that the engine block, heater core, etc is empty of all old coolant. You need to remove all coolant hoses, thermostat, and water pump. Blow out heater core etc with compressed air. I replaced my water pump and all hoses. You don't want to have a leak later and lose that expensive fluid. Product is excellent for vehicles that are stored part or all of the year.

Yes you will need to drain and use the flush. You have to get all the water out. Draining leaves moisture behind. Water and Evans don't mix.

This product is specifically for Roots that are growing into your pipes. This is more typical with the OLD STYLE Piping (1930's-1960's). It won't unclog a drain if its due to hair,grease,etc.The Copper somewhat kills the roots back causing them to shrink & retract. If you notice the problem is more prominent in Sept.-Oct(First rain) through April then you have a Root issue.

It would be best to call the mfg and ask those direct questions. Do not use a thermostat , it's best to replace all hoses and clamps. These were suggestions from the mfg. Evans seems to act as though it is thinner then water so it will find minor leaks that may not have shown up with water and antifreeze . I suggest you call the mfg and speak to a company rep for your application.

Always drain it after using by taking in and out hoses off there is also a little valve look on the instructions. I also mounted mine on a 4x4 I wrap it with a blanket and then slid a plastic garbage can over unit and 4x4

Elinyc, I used the product, but probably I am not a good choice for review. I order both of K&W; products for block repair the Nano and the standard. The nano didnt work and since I had nothing to loose since I would have had to junk the vehicle otherwise, on the same day I dumped the other in. It work in that it stopped smoking, but I there are other issue with the truck I really can't drive it anyway. But it stopped smoking and cooking off water.

You should need nothing else. If for some reason you wish to control the flow you may want a inline valve. I didn't use one and every thing is fine.

I am using the one that came with it. Entire vehicle has been exposed to water, with no negative consequences. Hope that answers your question.

You do NOT need to flush this filter before using. We installed ours, using the filter which came with the unit, and began using it right away with no problems. We are very happy with it.

I bought one 7 years ago and I love having no drain. I have had two Coleman coolers which have leaked on me around the drain in the back of my trunk. So I made sure the next cooler I bought did not have a drain. Its good for 1 or two people. Enjoy

After removing the fill pipe. I used a porta band saw to cut a section out of the fill. A hack saw might work, a saw zaw with a metal blade would work. The time to remove the tube complete is very important as you want to clean all metal shavings then reinstall. This will take a bit of time but your trucks worth it. So is the ability to not have to fill up every couple hundred miles. I now enjoy a thousand mile turn around on fill's. If I can help further, e-mail questions to dozer327@yahoo.com V/R

I don't know if it is necessary but we do it as a matter of course. It is so easy to do...we just run hot water in it (keeping the fan dry) and then wipe it out before adding the night's water. This is a great product!

Does NOT need priming. The intake hose can be used without the screened attachment which would allow the intake hose to fit a hole at least as small as 1/2" in diameter. I run it off a Kawasaki Mule battery.

You don't "need" to although it will elongate the life of the tank. Do not apply it w/ fuel pump in the tank.

It requires at least two holes for the copper connection. It is designed with out a drain stopper control push/pull rod, so you need to change your drain to a pop up. If you do not change it, you will have no control over your drain stopper.

No, it's not necessary. You may want to consider using an exup eliminator however if you're planning on removing the exhaust butterfly valve altogether. Otherwise you'll receive a 'check engine' light. You can also just remove the exhaust valve cables without having to purchase the exup module.

No, you have to prep it by adding the enclosed acid. It is a relatively easy process. Don't add the acid until you're ready to use the battery. I keep a spare because I've had trouble finding one when I needed it right away.

I did. There was no problem. I scrubbed the walls of my dog house with it using some but not a huge amount of water.However it depends on how much water you splash around. I would use a cordless if you are going to be working in a very wet situation
