@davesta:
every sort of vinegar works- you need to leave it the coolant circuit over night. alloy may get a bit dull but that doesn't matter at all.
I used household cleaners with great success like antikal- they contain sulfur acid wich kills a lot of grime.
The heater is copper clean inside now. I let it in the coolant circuit over night-it does not work on the grease slime inside the engine. But drano works good there, hehehe

@murray:
You just convinced me to use that CAT stuff.
If it works in their engines it will work in our diesels too!
The data sheet has remarkable abilities and it does contain already deionized water.

I tought about Evans waterless coolant, but what to do if you need to refill while travelling?
I just have to find out were to get CAT elc...
CAT engines are designed to give fullpower all day long-so it must be good stuff.

Just found out, it is designed for wet sleeve cylinder liners.
That the absolute right stuff for our engines! Good find, Murray!
Do you work with CAT equipment?
