Re: A/C evaporator box drain tube

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

It's a tube that runs from the lower left side of the evaporator box
(under dash passenger side) through a hole in the I-beam island. If it
can't drain, condensed water fills the box, eventually sloshing out
the heater vents. Will ruin your carpet if water is allowed to puddle
(remember -- pontoon is made of plastic).

Tube is actually two joined pieces: one inside the car, one next to
the frame. My external hose was pinched so badly at the factory it is
now permanently deformed. I simply omitted (don't give me a bunch of
grief -- the frame is epoxy coated. If it can't stand a little
condensed water, what does that say about Lotus).

Word of warning -- don't pull the hose loose soon after running A/C.
Niagara Falls could be waiting in the box. This is a wet voice of
experience talking...
