Message: <blockquote data-quote="phat7" data-source="post: 643134" data-attributes="member: 3001">First off using tap water causes oxidation. Tap water contains minerals ie. calcium etc that acts as a catalyst for rust. Ask him to stop using tap water but instead use distilled water/drinking water. Do not mistake drinking water with mineral water. I would suggest to drain the radiator first then use tap water at high blast (tap water to blast is ok coz distilled water is not cheap) once the water comin out of the radiator is clear close drain plug. Add distilled water with Prestone Radiator Flush. Run engine for bout 10-20 minutes (keep an eye on the temp gauge). Turn off engine and let it cool for about 1 hour then remove drain plug and remove all water (the water will be soapy and you will see a lot of rust and sludge). Add more distilled water to completely fush (make sure you get as much of the prestone radiator flush out. Once its clean close drain plug and add your favourite coolant and only use distilled water. You will see a much cleaner radiator and a happy cooling system. Good luck and do this over the weekend with a jack/stands. Have a couple of beers coz its hot down there. Besides with some alcohol any hotwater hitting your hands wont be so plainful. ;)</blockquote>
