Coke anyone?

[iandouglas]

Looking through Diff lock last night came across a post from someone who had purchased a RRc .been stood in farmers barn for 10 years.
couldnt get the alloy wheels off due to severe corrosion between alloy wheel and steel hub.
eventually managed it after pouring gallons of boiling water over it.
someone recommended COKE the fizzer the better.apparently it works very well.
may be of use to someone working on engine or something.

What gave you the idea to use Coke in the first place? Rick

motherboard too.

Diet Coke & Coca-Cola have a signififcant amount of phosphoric acid in them, if I remember correctly. Many years ago, doctors around my way would recommend flat regular coke for minor stomach upsets as the sugar was handy for your low energy and most tummy bugs are not good at surviving in phosphoric acid solution.

Best thing we found at work for removing ANYTHING was Listerine mouth wash, we used to store it. we cleaned everything from Battery acid to hydraulic oil spills. The HGV drivers used it from cleaning the air lines on the tractor units if they got coated in grease. We even used it one for getting floor tiles up cos the glue i used to put them down with was so strong nothing could move them. 24 hour soak in mouth wash and they almost jumped off the floor by themselves.

And what do you do with Listerine mouth wash, please dont say put it in your mouth.:doh

Bleach and Stainless Steel ! Aghhhh..

Never leave anything made of stainless steel in a bleach solution.

It dissolves it. Titanium is one of the few metals that can be used in the manufacturing process.

Cola is also very good at cleaning out the intercooler rad. The one's that are low down near the front are prone to oil collection.

It's also good for blocked or partially blocked waste pipes (kitchen & bathroom).

I always got a bottle handy. Never drink the crap though.
