Do you run it straight? 3ish gallons? Or diluted.

Well, looks like I missed my optimum opportunity as far as the weather goes. I added the Thermocure and wouldn't you know it, the temps from here on out, are below freezing at night so now I have to drain it every night into 1 gallon jugs, only to pour it back in the next day.

After being in the car for 6 hours and driving it for 15 miles, the water went from being clear to a translucent grey.

I used RUST 911. Drove the car for a day and drained it. The water had turned black. Refilled with more RUST 911 and drove it fro another day. This time the water was light gray. Repeat procedure for third day and it drained crystal clear. Looking into water jackets and radiator everything was clean as a whistle without a speck of rust anywhere. I refilled the system with Evans Waterless Coolant. No Water = No Rust. I buy both from Amazon.com

I run it straight. 15 minutes at a time and do that several times.......


let it stay in 4- 6 weeks. drain, rinse and then antifreeze.

Industrial vinegar is 30% and good value

[ronn]

if running industrial vinegar, then much shorter "cure" period. otherwise everything will be destroyed.

While I have not done it I am sure you can dilute 30% to slow the process.
I tried molasses and besides strong odor it takes a long time to clear rust.

That works out to 2.5 MPH, you sure are a slow driver.
