Bottles

[JiP]

Okay so after flushing my radiator I decided to give my coolant bottle a clean as it was full of sludge.

Does anyone know how to get it all out?? I bleached it as well as the wiper washer bottle. The problem is that even with the soaking and the using of a bottle brush I couldn't remove the stains and all the sludge.

 

Anyone know how to clean them up?? I remember mum had some bleach a couple years back that would remove the yellow too.

 

Also I went to replace the grommets but couldn't figure out where you can get the washer bottle one. It leaks from the bottom. Does anyone know where??

I went to Clark Rubber and they can't help.

 

And before someone says it I know I can get an aftermarket bottle but don't want to, I wanna keep the original ones with green caps.

Best way to clean it out is with small corse rocks, I use this method whenever I do a radiator flush at work, It works alot better than it sounds.

You sure you can't get them from clark rubber? I got one from there. Took a bit to get it in place but it's in there fine now.

Mr Muscle oven cleaner does a pretty good job if you can't find the good shiz.

or you could use a bottle brush from kitchen cleaning section in almost any store

there just a stick with bristles on all side so you can get inside the bottle.

i had same problem with mine, 25 year of radiator sludge :dance:

I used a bottle brush and it did a crap job. I went to clark rubber and they don't stock the grommet I need. Surely there is somewhere I can get this one??

Just seal it up with a tiny bit of blue max.

 

I find a good soak in napisan works wonders for the bottles. I scrubbed mine out with a rag on a stick.

Had to LOL, Reminded me of the simpsons episode where Bart has a daydream of himself being fat 'I wash myself with a rag on a stick'.

Whast Blue Max?? Is that what I can use to stop the drip??

Its silicon sealant gasket maker shit that you use on water fittings, diffs etc.

 

Buy it from any auto parts store.

I have been told hot soapy water and a half a cup of rice will do the trick. Shake the sh*t out of it with the rice sealed inside and it cleans out all the corners...

Okay well cool. I'll try that this afternoon. thanks.

I do have some of that blue gasket shit and i'll give it a go too but still would rather a new groomet. Tho this will do for a temp fix.

thanks.

Try a good old bottle brush with water and Ajax.

get a guerney into it that always fixes everything unless it will break it either way it will be clean :dance:

Somehow i don't see myself doing that, tho i do have many spares.

 

Also you might wanna lay off the stupid posts cause you wouldn't want to be labeled a post whore.
