Re: Evaporust and radiators
I've heard that vinegar makes a good clean out.
Anyone used this method? What mixture did you use? Was it effective? Thanks... |

Re: Evaporust and radiators
I've used pure white vinegar straight from the jug. It's very cheap and I left it in for a few weeks while driving the car. It will make the water pump leak when it removes the grease, then you have a very rusty mess getting all over the engine.
It worked, but Evaporust would be a better way to go I think. |

Re: Evaporust and radiators
As Tom said, I also used straight white vinegar and ran it for a week or so then I used Evapo Rust. My reasoning is that vinegar will take out rust and expose the bare metal then Evapo Rust will convert anything left into an inert iron oxide unlike rust and shield the metal from further rusting. Just my uninformed thoughts. It may not be true but my A runs as cool as a cucumber. Jack

I was once on a dedicated run for Coca Cola. Usually I hauled syrup to the McDonald's distributor in Kansas City, Earp Meat, but occasionally I hauled ingredients to other Coke distributors. When I hauled flavorings, I sometimes had to placard the truck. However, if I recall correctly, it was for them being flammable, not acidic. I have hauled whole truck loads of citric acid, but in its edible form, it's not acidic enough to be dangerous. The flammable component in the flavorings was, I believe, alcohol, which is a common part of flavorings. Just in passing, soft drinks are allowed to be up to 2% alcohol, considered to be an inevitable part of making liquids containing a lot of sugar. Most Coca Cola is less than 1% alcohol. |
