The stove will light colder than a propane torch will. In single digits propane 
torches are kinda iffy. Its just quicker to preheat with the torch.
Thats fake mapp gas. That rig is better than either of the other two torches 
I've had, I'm not sure if its the torch head or the mapp gas but it works good. 
Goes in the groomer with me to open locks on gates. I have one lock I have to 
open every run and one I had to unlock that the state forgot.

How to light a Coleman stove in winter:
Step 1: light MAPP torch...

BTW, is that real MAPP gas, or propylene in a yellow bottle?
The real stuff is getting hard to find.

[MBZ] Even more ATF de-watering

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Made a video of the de-watering process. I've gotten it down pretty smooth now. 

https://youtu.be/gVFAsBNGWnE

The stuff in the video was the first drawn off the machine when we realized we 
had a problem, its horrible, the video is probably 2 hours of actual boiling. 
Today we drained the machine, the stuff coming out now isn't real bad at all. 
We went all out and drained 4 of the plow cylinders, the cylinder that puts the 
wheels on the drag down and its looong hose, the drag is 18 feet long, the 
machine is probably 14 so thats a long run.
We refilled and I boiled the water out of the stuff we took out, only took 
about half an hour. While we were at it I dunked the filter, which is about the 
same diameter as a 61x oil filter but about 16" long, into a pot of boiling 
oil. Standing in the pot the filter became a steaming volcano, apparently its 
been trapping water. Ben doesn't remember ever changing that filter and he's 
been running the machine since 2001, obviously we're ordering a new filter...

We did 2 swaps today, I *think* we found the issue too, I don't think the cap 
seal is sealing well. There are 3 tanks and this one the seal doesn't get an 
obvious mark when its closed like the other 2 do, we'll see if we can get a new 
seal...
