Hi-

Does anybody has a suggestion on how to clean stains of burned
fuel in mufflers and engine heads?

I emailed candiani all the tips found in these forums.

Tim Converse,

I do want to know too. Please send an e-mail if you can.

Tim i got it, and will try tonight...see if it works.

Thankyou..

Francis, this is Tim's secret:


Here is what to do. Find an old crock pot. Put in a 50/50 mixture of anti-freeze and water. Set crock pot to low heat. Leave parts in about 8 hours. Rinse parts with water and scrub with old toothbrush. They will look like new. Tim

Go to our website and under the tips section, it will explain how to use a crock pot and antifreeze to clean an engine.

Will putting the parts in a pot of Boiling water with Baking Soda
thrown in to do the cleaning work. Or will this destroy the parts?
Another question for any experts who have tried this or know it will not work. If this works it would be faster than 8 hours in the Anti-freeze-water mixture on low.

Don't forget, if you use the crock pot method, don't EVER use it again for food!

Aluminum will go nuts under a heated basic condition (eg. Baking soda) You stand the chance of turning the part black with a rough surface or creating white eroded spots on the part.

It is best to use antifreeze or some cleaner that is safe for aluminum.

Good luck,

Jim
