I use antifreeze about once a month to clean all of my parts on my fusion ap's (4 of them). I never use the same antifreeze twice (makes it extremely difficult to remove ISO the second time around) It only works when I get the antifreeze rolling on a good boil. This leads me to believe that this could potentially be very dangerous on another type of application. Not quite sure if you could run it through your pre-heaters and if so if it would get hot enough to do the trick. Let me know what you come up with and how it works out for you. Steve |

I have to say I have heard of this working, with boiling method, I would definately recommend wearing a respirator if your going to try this and do it outside if possible. |

How are you disposing of the used antifreeze? |

The antifreeze thing definately works in a cajun cooker, or something to that effect, but if you have time to let it soak for a while, get you some Dynasolv. If you cant find it anywhere call me at 318-450-0335 and I can get you some. Thanks, Jayson Calhoun |

Why are you trying to flush out your system? Are you putting it up for storage? You can follow the same procedure as to winterize your unit. If you are wanting to clean the heater rods I suggest remove and repair. But there again why are you wanting to do this? |

Boiling antifreeze does work great for removing hardened ISO but, It is also dangerous because of the fumes it exhaust. Should be done in a well ventilated area, outside is best. For this reason you should not try to run it through your system preheaters or hoses. The gases exhausted from the antifreeze could possibly cause damage. P.S. Don't let OSHA or the DEA catch you boiling antifreeze. |
