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.

@mostlyuselessgarage Год назад

Great idea with the Iron Out! Thx for the feedback!

@nestordupo845 Месяц назад

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.

@mostlyuselessgarage Месяц назад

You might want to skip the abrasive material, or use a less aggressive medium. But YMMV

@frog7118 4 месяца назад

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.

@mostlyuselessgarage 4 месяца назад

Good suggestions, if I could get the nozzle inside the bottle it may eat into the plastic. Might be worth a follow up vid 😉

@cristyf5431 Год назад

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.

No, a coolant flush is a totally different job

Should have soaked it in sulfamic acid to make it white again and not put it back on yellow

@joheewrx5278 10 месяцев назад

I used degreaser on my tank and it took everything off instantly!

@mostlyuselessgarage 10 месяцев назад

Do you have an aluminum or iron block? Iron tends to leave rusty residue that's hard to remove.

@joheewrx5278 10 месяцев назад

@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.

@@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.

@mostlyuselessgarage 9 месяцев назад

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!

@mercamg9312 Год назад

Hi Bro. Saw this on youtube. MAGIC. Should be a 24 hr soak with a water and Sulfamic Acid mix. Search this RU-vid 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.

@mostlyuselessgarage Год назад

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!

@mercamg9312 Год назад

@@mostlyuselessgarage yes please. comparison video would be stupendous !!!

@hah1738 Год назад

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

@mercamg9312 Год назад

@@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

@hah1738 Год назад

@@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

miata

@mostlyuselessgarage 5 месяцев назад

is always the answer

@Professional_Youtube_Commenter 3 месяца назад

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.

@mostlyuselessgarage 2 месяца назад

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!
