Radiator grease Cutter

[Bruce Adams]

Hi,
What solutions work to cut grease in a radiator prior to flushing it?
I don't know where it came from since I have a greasless water pump, but I seem to have a lot of grease in the radiator all of a sudden.

I seem to recall some have used DAWN or CASCADE.

Thanks.

I use electrosol (orange) dishwasher detergent. Have had very good results.

TSP added in the proportions on the label for 3 gallons of grease cutting works well. Electrolsol, Cascade and other dish detergents promoted for their for grease cutting have TSP in them too.

I have had good results with Electrasol.

Super Purple and Simple Green works well.. The Super Purple does foam a bit

Hello Bruce,I had good luck with Mary's dish washer detergent,so I would guess any dish washer detergent will work. I also used what Pat suggested TSP.

Bruce according to the tride and true method by Roger Kaufman he uses PINE SOL and runs the car and cleans out every 15-20 miles, then flushes
