It works because Coke is full of phosphoric acid. There are other more convenient sources of phosphoric acid, one of them being engine cleaner and degreaser liquid.

It works in auto radiators.

I have sprayed several cans of carob cleaner through it, blasted it out with an air hose, put it in the cleaning tank with a biodegradable solvent running through it for hours, ran water hot and cold through it and still getting specks of scale out of it. When I thought it was clean I filled it with clean oil and let it set overnight and when I poured the oil out there was still a lot of scale coming out. Any suggestions on how to clean it. I would like to stay with a stock oil Cooler if possible. Jack Cooper kr2coo...@earthlink.net Fayetteville.
