Evaporust and radiators

[SeaSlugs]

I have heard that some chemicals for foods that we consume are hazardous materials when hauled down the roads in tanker trucks. Whats that saying eat drink in moderation! Another saying don't worry be happy

we eat vinegar and molasses - that stuff will take rust off parts

I think mythbusters did an entire show on uses of coca cola. coke + tinfoil = really good chrome polish.

If it's called "Tinfoil" we can start a class action lawsuit, because it's aluminum foil.

BTW, does anyone know what EVAPORUST is made from?

I checked Evaporust's site, the msds says Chelator/ Detergent, very interesting reading!

I've heard that vinegar makes a good clean out.

Anyone used this method?

What mixture did you use? Was it effective?

Thanks...

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.

I suspect the main ingredient is phosphoric acid.

 

[updraught]

I think it is the active ingredient in sugercane molasses.

NO it's not! Chelator/Detergent, its on Evaporust's site look at the MSDS

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.
