I've never tried the vinigar trick. I have a early 50's Ag radiator here i need to get to work on. IT is definately plugged up as viewed thru the cap spigot.

I will most likely try the vinigar trick but i'm guessing it probably has to set for at least a day or more. IDK.

Not sure if trying to use muratic acid is a good ideaa or not. VERY WICKED STUFF! and dangerous to use!!! I've used the muratic to to cleaan imbedded aluminium from cylinder wall scores and things like that. But those applications are very tiny amounts of acid. Just a few drops diluted with lots of water.

So i don't know how well the muratic will work or ruin a radiator of thin braass especialy in view of the volumn of acid solution that mite be required.
