Tastes like chicken 🍗 Thx for the comment!
😂😂😂😂great video
Now I really need a cat. Thanks.😅
😸
Thanks for tips but its not work in my volvo s60 because there is a magnet inside the reservoir to connect the level sensor of the coolant.
You might want to skip the abrasive material, or use a less aggressive medium. But YMMV
Probably more expensive than your lemon scented bleach, but I think a good soaking with CLR might do a better job. Might try walnut shell blasting at low air pressure.
Good suggestions, if I could get the nozzle inside the bottle it may eat into the plastic. Might be worth a follow up vid 😉
Huh. I just found this video AFTER I soaked and shook mine (off an Rx7 FB) with not water and Dawn dish soap, followed by a short soak in Superclean then scrubbing in Superclean with a dollartree bottle brush.
How'd it turn out?
Subbed for a drink of that chocolate milkshake.
Thx man!
Lool milkshake
Is this a good idea if I can't afford a cooling flush?
No, a coolant flush is a totally different job
I have no idea how I ended up watching a video on cleaning a coolant overflow resevoir but here I am. If you want to get those remaining rust stains out of the jug use a product called Iron Out. It comes in powder or spray. Add a little to the jug, slosh around, wait 1-5 minutes, and rinse. Just be careful, it is an acid product. Cheers.
Great idea with the Iron Out! Thx for the feedback!
Should have soaked it in sulfamic acid to make it white again and not put it back on yellow
I see you just watched that video here on RUclips as well. Apparently, you can find it in the tile section of your hardware store. I'm excited to try it
I used degreaser on my tank and it took everything off instantly!
Do you have an aluminum or iron block? Iron tends to leave rusty residue that's hard to remove.
@mostlyuselessgarage I have a 2006 subaru wrx. The block and heads are aluminum alloy. My coolant tank, just had dirt/gunk buildup from previous owner! But i just used degreaser w a straw tip, and it literally took all of it off on contact. I was worried about the degreaser leaving oil/oil residue, so i washed it out w dish soap and car soap multiple times until it didnt feel greasy to touch inside anymore.
Just used a waterpik. Got a lot of sediment out of a tank
Good idea, I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind. 😉
@@mostlyuselessgarage I was tempted to use mine for various cleaning around the house and garage that I eventually got one for the purpose. You can get them for pretty cheap.
I just put a new radiator and a new overflow and it's still sludgy
If you're iron block you're gonna be picking up a lot of that contaminants in your motor. You may want to flush the coolant a few times or just send it!
miata
is always the answer
Hi Bro. Saw this on youtube. MAGIC. Should be a 24 hr soak with a water and Sulfamic Acid mix.
Search this RUclips video " How To Clean & Restore Coolant Tank - PERMANENTLY" from "LOW MILEAGE" post.
Sulfamic acid is used as an acidic cleaning agent, sometimes pure or as
a component of proprietary mixtures, typically for metals and ceramics.
It is frequently used for removing rust and limescale, replacing the more
volatile and irritating hydrochloric acid. It is an excellent de-scaling agent.
Dude, awesome recommendation! TIL sulfamic acid would be great for this job, and is available from Home Depot. Another commenter also recommended Iron Out. Sounds like a comparison video is needed!
@@mostlyuselessgarage yes please. comparison video would be stupendous !!!
Lots of people have said that the video you meantioned is fake, as one of the broken pieces on the initial tank is repaired on the finished tank
@@hah1738 wow. thanks for the info. did not see that one if it's true. never tried Sulfamic acid myself. Just wanted to mention the video. Have no need at the moment to clean and restore a tank. Cheers
@@mercamg9312 Yeah I'm not sure either, I bet acid would do a good job. But it seems he faked the sulfamic acid video for views by buying a new tank
if it's cheap to replace, just buy a new one. Mine is like $15 - just replace with new. I wonder if the chemicals you put in it will be almost half the price of the replacement and you don't account for the imperfect clarity you will have on the cleaned container and time spend on repairing.
Not to mention this chemical treatment seems quite long and you need to soak for a long time so you might be without a car during this time.
edit, I thought the scrubbing on the outside was pretty useless. I am surprised you didn't use a diswashing stick thing and push it into the bottle and try and scrub out the insides.
Stock Miata units are ~$70 and aftermarket metal ones are ~$150 so YMMV. The bleach and dish soap used were basically free, as was the few hours of my time. Thx for the comment!
