I used as much of the tank as I could to make parts of the evaporator. I was limited to working outside and only had basic hand tools, a 110v fluxcore welder, 4.5 inch grinder, and a sawz-all at my disposal for tools. Making use of the parts of the tank that were already the same shape of the tank saved a lot of work. All of the steel I used was scrap steel that I had collected so the end product is functional but a little rough on the finish work. Sometime before next season the whole thing will get painted.
