Re: Vinegar
Maytag at one time had a product to clean rust from their washing machines, it's ingredients were citric acid crystals that can be bought at a drug store, it did work well. It is called Rover, can be bought on ebay for about $5.00. Zeke

Remember when you used to be able to buy small cans of radiator cleaner, just about everywhere ? The EPA has put so many restrictions on these cleaners, that they are almost useless, now days. Maybe, two gallons of the new stuff has enough cleaning solutions in it to do the job. That is why, people have been going to alternative methods to clean their radiators. If you have your parts off, a power washer is great for rinsing. MIKE |

Re: Vinegar
Walt, on American Restoration - it listed three items for removing rust stains?
Cider Vinegar, Lemon Juice, Tea? I think that was the last one, memory? Anyways Cider Vinegar was the best out of all of them to use. |

Re: Vinegar
[QUOTE=Old Henry... Here's what I have used on many cooling systems that is not acid and is specifically made for cleaning cooling systems...]
In my opinion, this reasoning fits the physcian's code... "first do no harm". If I had applied that test to my (hobby) car work for a half-century, I would have happier memories today. (And less ruined old Ford pieces. Ouch! The failures still pain me.) If there is a hereafter, too many flatheads await me, hands in hips, a look of disgust or pain in their eyes. Maybe I'll just skip that and go below, where flatheads do not exist. |
