Rydelime flush

[BruceK]

I know people love the stuff but it is just expensive hydrochloric acid which is less than e1 per litre !

With organic dye. Exactly.

Impressive How often should this be done?

We do it when a customer notices the temps running higher than usual, it varies from engine type to engine type, Mercruiser 1.7 diesels seem to need it more often than Volvos. Also remember to replace the anodes after flushing as there will be very little of them left.

There's a product called Barnacle Bust on ebay @£20 for 5l delivered. I've used it for the same purpose on my AC system.

So say i use 7.5 l of rydlime mixed with water giving 15l of mix , is this enough to fill the dystem and leave enough in the bucket to keep it circulating , or do i mix 30 l and do both engine s one after the other .

A big thanks to Volvo Paul , he pulled me out the shit today.

Let me guess. You opened all the sea cocks for your raw water flush and now have the marina manager yelling at you for killing off the brand spanking new endangered oyster beds they are cultivating.

I had to google that - Taste: Lots of funk, barnyard, horse blanket, hay.
Can't say it sounds too appealing
