had to get a "new" coolent tank for my T/A cause the old one had a crack. and by "new" i mean from a junk yard. it's in great shape! just very dirty. i've tried numerous things. soaking down with steaming hot water through a sprayer, with dish soap and shook it up. rinsed it out with a hose outside using the "jet" feature on my sprayer. soaking with a citrus based cleaner and very hot water, like 5 times. i've even used brake cleaner. it's those nooks and crannies that i can't quite get with a good stream of water pressure.

i wouldn't be so concerned about it if there still weren't flakes of that crap floating around in there when i fill it up with water. and i don't want that crap going through the cooling system and clogging sh*t up.

sooo...any suggestions? puh puh please?

How long have you let it soak. I'd try soaking for 24-48 hrs

Try soaking it in simple green overnight.

[blackbeauty89]

i let it soak for a little over 12 hours probably.

where could i find simple green?

[me6894]

Any auto parts store or hardware store or walmart

If that doesn't work purple power will. It's a super heavy duty degreaser from autozone. Also works great for getting the foggyness out of headlights Just DONT get it on paint.

found simple green. letting it sit over night right now. filled it up with hot water. although some of it is dripping out of the hole for the hose. i taped it off the best i could lol.

Update?

[blackbeauty89]

[Z34Coop]

He meant to use the shot inside the shell. Don't actually shoot it lol. Just dump the little "bb's" into it and you could probably shake it up and see if that does the trick.
