I think the tube has some minimal amount of Freon-like stuff in it. The pressure in the tube changes with temperature. Your water temp gauge works the same way.

Ooooh, do I hear ya about those VW bus heaters. I've had a '64, '68 and now a '79. The '79 actually has a blower motor and the heat exchangers are a bit larger, but it's still miserable in anything under 40 degrees F. You can probably use old Volvo heaters to make toast.
