TOTAL Radiator Cleaner

[Superflan]

I had done a coolant flush and rinse with tap water, then a citric acid flush (but maybe I didn't put enough power in the water). I ran on tap water for weeks, flushing here and there, but it seemed to be still dirty.

I then crossed this cheap flush, TOTAL Radiator Cleaner, approx $7

I've had luck using "more than one kind of soap" to rid cooling systems of dirt.

Drain and refreshments seem to be the way to go as the systems don't get that dirty.

I use about a pound of citric acid powder in a 10 qt total capacity system with the thermostat removed.

I'm guessing you are happy with the results?

What's in the Total rad cleaner?

Where do you get citric acid for low cost? The grocery store charges 25c per oz.

Happy but it didn't get rid of cooked oil deposits in tank. I'm gonna get another one, new or lighty used.

The cleaner is made with weak acid and sodium salts.

The grocery store here charges approx €7 per 500 grams. Roughly like 25c per ounce
