    I have a V8 radiator. I want to clean it out. Any suggestions on something to pour into it? Its off the jeep and lying on the ground. I was thinking of maybe muratic acid they use in pools? I'd also like to pressure test it before I use it so any suggestions there?

    You want oxalic acid. Used as a wood bleach.

    Neutralize with washing soda (sodium carbonate).
