Why Water Quality Matters

[oj88]

I'm just in here for the science. Always have been facintaed by it and also a bit obsessed about the science behind subtle things we usually take for granted... Like why did the car designers/engineers did this or that. "Why put the screw here instead of two inches to the left?" that sort of thing.

Science can be very interesting, but pure science can be too cryptic for some people's taste and appreciation..

Just to answer your question - yes.

And no, I do not mean to insult anyone.

Then the discussion ends here.

I hope I've helped enough people at the very least.

Mountain Dew sa akin primo.

Re: Transit operator. Very big names there, my schoolmates too.

I ride those buses when i go around the Vismin area before.... and yes, i myself prefer Mountain Dew. Ayaw pa kasi lagyan ng Mountain Dew emoticon. :D

We are related by affinity.

Seems there's always a link to the families there, somewhere along the way.

How about we cool things a little here? Medyo nagiinit na kayo baka kailangan nyo na din ng coolant.

Hehehe... kelangan buhusan ng coolant yung thread.

at the very least, i learned that not just ordinary tap water + coolant should go in to our radiators.. distilled water is better.

Vinj can get o.c but some guys here take the cake!

maraming salamat sir evo-v. marami akong natutunan sa mga posts mo kahit medyo nose-bleed yung english. hehehe. nagtataka nga ako kung bakit ang dalas ibaba yung mga radiator namin. ipapalinis ko agad yung radiator ng mga trucks namin at maglalagay ng coolant at siguraduhing hindi tubig poso ang gamit.
sana huwag kang ma-discourage sa mga tao dito, alam mo nga naman ang mga ibang pilipino crab mentality. at kung nagbebenta ka nga ng radiator, ok lang iyon sa akin. hamak na masdalubhasa ka sa gawain mo at karapat-dapat kang umasenso.

more power.

Oppss, wag muna.
It's normal to have people think the other way. One drinks Pepsi the other is Coke.

Anyway, how to de-clog a radiator?

I usually haveit rodded by our on call rad guy. Then refill with the correct amount of manufacturer specified coolant. Apparently, thoughts differ on the practice but I have never had a rodded radiator fail on me since 1996 and we drive some of the vehicles very hard. We do get minor stuff like clamp failures or small pinhole leaks where the rad top attaches to the rad but nothing major or nothing that will render the vehicle inoperable.

Srp for rodding and flushing is 2000 i think. But we pay fleet prices so its nowhere near that.

Vinj also gets his rads rodded at the same place. Hehe.

[K.I.L.L.]

I'm a man of logic and science and I appreciate what you have posted here evo-v. I certainly will ensure that the fluids I use would minimise corrosion in my radiators.

I am guessing the other guys have had too many negative experiences with regards to other people peddling useless gadgets, fluids and services which is why they have a habit of "connecting the dots" when there really aren't any dots to connect. Don't take it against them though as this is most likely a result of their negative experiences here in the forum. I hope you post more of your experiences here in future.

Good day to all tsikoteers here.

ako tubig lang ok na. mataas na ang sugar ko eh. hehehe.
sa amin yung mga mekaniko namin binubuksan yung mga radiator at sinusundot ng alambre para matanggal yung bara. minsan mga every 4 or 5 months nga ito. kinausap ko kanina yung mekaniko at pinakita ko sa kanya yung mga picture na pi-nost ni sir evo-v. sabi niya na hindi niya raw makontrol yung mga driver kung nasa labas kasi raw kung saan-saan kumukuha ng tubig. nung tinanong ko kung bakit nagbabawas ng tubig sabi niya baka may tulo. pinapa-check ko na rin yung mga hoses.
