Vinegar

[Walt Dupont--Me.]

I see that a few guys have filled there cooling system with vinegar and run the car for a couple of weeks then drain it out to clean the rust out of the engine. Would it work just to clean the radiator, say I plugged the inlet and oulet and filled the rad with vinegar and left it for a few days then drained it out and flush it with a garden hose? Would it clean the tubes and not hurt the sorder? Thanks Walt
