It makes terrible coffee though Charlie. :-) I actually heard of this
happening where somebody forgot to remove the vinegar before they made the
next pot of coffee.
Re: radiator cleaning, I think I've mentioned before how my Dad used to put
lye in the cooling systems to flush them out. I can't say just how safe this
would be on the innards of the system but don't recall him having any
problems with the engines . The old flathead Ford truck would still run hot
if you pushed it too hard with a load of grain on it.
