Radiator cleaning
« on: September 13, 2022, 03:48:56 PM »
I saw where Dave A had mentioned in one of his answers to a question, that there was a separate article about how to clean a rear mounted radiator 3126 caterpillar. I can’t seem to find it does anyone know where I can find it ? Thanks everyone and stay safe .

This thread does not have a post from Dave Atherton but it does speak to what cleaning detergent to use to clean an aluminum radiator.

Scott,
Check these out. One has a procedure for cleaning based on a 3126B rear radiator. Also there is a good review of cooling systems  in Common Problems titled "Diesel Cooling Systems" Common Problems is on the BAC web site under the Technical tab.
