bars stop leak?
has anyone ever used it in anything? ive got a lil (and it really is lil) leak in my rad somewhere and am looking for a temporary fix. so does it really work is my question.
|
Dont use it. You'll end up finding it in areas you don't want, and cause more harm than good.
|
ok. then is there any sort of brand that is recommended? that wont gunk anything up
|
As a temp fix, I have used crushed black pepper, and it will flush out when you fix the leak. I use about 4 oz. of pepper.
|
ive never heard of using crushed black pepper. i wonder if that tip started from martha stewart haha
|
Nope, I got it from my father, I saw him use it in our F-100 back in the '60's. He ran it for about 3 months till he had time to flush and troubleshoot the leak. Ended up being a pin hole in the radiator that only opened when at operating temp.
|
you can also crack open and egg too i've heard that works.
i personally would rent a radiator pressure tester and test the system,Heck you could even do it right in the parking lot of the auto parts store. then you know exactly where it is. |
dont use the stop leak whatever you do. used it in 3 different trucks, within 3 months they all needed new water pumps :censored:
|
so i should stay away from any sort of stop leak then
|
If you do not have time or weather will not let you find and fix the leak I would use the pepper until there is time. If you can fix it now, then fix it. IMHO :D
