Cleaning the intercooler

[Stoned]

What's the best or easiest way of cleaning out the TMIC?

Would petrol do the job?

have also herd of people using injector cleaner, its what i used.

don't use latex gloves to seal the ends when you give it a good shake, as the petrol/injector cleaner rotts the latex.. he he..

plastic bags with some elastic bands or string to seal the ends, then give it a swish.. not much came out of mine.

i use petrol then you can fill it to the brim and its cheaper than injector cleaner- i used about 5 litres last time.

i just cupped my hands over the end and got someone else to pour it in.

Yep i cleaned mine out recently with petrol came out all black ! Kept on until the petrol was clear. used about £3 petrol if that

Petrol is the best thing to use as it is cheap, most effective and, most importantly, won'leave any residue to undo what you set out to do in the first place

trichloroethane 1-1-1 is the daddy for cleaning oily shite out

but bon't blame me when you get cancer

Anybody

Anybody tried brake cleaner? Its cheap enough 8 quid a gallon. Any
comments appreciated. Also, Im going to cut the end of a std tmic and
get it welded back up. Anybody any contacts for the welding? Or even the whole job.
Thanks,
Jon
