I saw a recent post suggesting using EvapoRust to clean the radiator. I'm a big fan of the product and it sounds like a good idea . It's very effective in removing rust, dissolves the rust into the liquid so there shouldn't 't be much flaking, and it's ecologically safe.
Anyone have any experience with this? Would there be any downside to using EvapoRust in the radiator for a week or so ?
Thanks in advance for your views.

I am headed for the SEMA show next week and they usually have a booth I will ask the company their opinion and post something.

I don't know how it would behave under the thermal effects of running engine. However, if you were to use it to fill the entire cooling system after draining the fluid from a warm engine I think it would work very well. The only downside I see is the cost of that much Evaporust.

it can be used and works here is a link from their web site
http://www.evaporust.com/evaporustcsc.html

what i do differently is fill cooling system with evapo rust in car like suggested run 1-2 hours but i then leave it in for 24 hrs with car off so it dissolves the rust.. then i drain the system into a bucket as it can be used over again for other jobs.
remove the upper rad hose from rad and install fencing pipe or like into hose so it hangs out over front of car. start and add water flushing all the extra crap out, then drain again and fill with 50/50. make sure stat is removed before doing anything.

Mitch, to reuse the evaporust, do you filter it with something first?

the hotter the evapo rust is, the better it works, I am a firm believer in it. I would say go for it! I am going to use it in the T!
