Default Ultrasonic Cleaning for Oil Coolers and Lines

I want to have my 28 row brass cooler cleaned inside and out along with many of the fixed oil lines. Is there a place locally that does this that people have had experience with?

Thanks -

-Jeff

Kurt is of course right;

My family has a quaint tradition along this line. Newly weds are required to show their commitment to sharing the good and bad in life at the reception. To accomplish this the parents present the newly weds with a small porcelain chamber pot. It contains several inches of hard cider (we’re Irish after all) with some plain donut halves floating in it. It really does make for some interesting comments from the “other side of the aisle.” Don’t know how long this has been going on but my mother still speaks of it and she was very insistent that my brother and I got a chance to share in the “feast.”

Not exactly the sort of thing I was looking to read first thing in the morning. Especially as I WAS considering a donut.

Since we’re back on topic most radiator shops have this type service. I used one on Lee Highway in Falls Church near the cemetery some years ago for a 356 gas tank. Don’t remember the name but their main business was radiators.

just talked to the owner, as I want to get this done on my fornt cooler. He seems to know his business pretty well. He does indeed to ultrasonic cleaning. Will not work for my aluminum cooler, but likely for your brass it will be fine. he remembered Tony (who doesnt right?). For the aluminum cooler there is a different chemical he runs through to get it cleaned out. Give him a call.
