Could you use muratic acid to flush a radiator amazing results when flushing a hot water coil in a boiler

That's pretty potent stuff and the fumes are very bad to breathe. I don't think I would want to try it.

Muriatic Acid is an old name for a moderately strong solution of HCL or Hydrochloric Acid.

Poor choice for this task.

not the best choice IMHO, Vinegar is fairly mild, and a better choice. You would want to remove any grease scum before you try the vinegar. That is why I chose simple green. Tom W. used cascade. Bob
