I did the LestOil shuffle on my rad in preparation for EvapoRust.
When the ER has completed its job, will the particulates drain thru the pet cock or should I remove the lower hose and pipe afterwards?

Thanks
Leo

The petcock drain is small, it may get clogged! Why not remove the petcock, that would be a 3/8 hole!

I would remove the lower hose, then flush water through it as well as the block... Run the hose into the top water outlet neck of the engine and let it come out the lower pipe while it's still disconnected

Remove the lower hose and give it a very thorough flushing. Wait an hour and flush if again! Wayne

In my opinion, chemical treatments and/or flush/neutralizing should be done separately as in not connected together to avoid junk from the dirtiest component being transferred to the cleaner one.

The beauty of evaporust is it does not have to be neutralized
