For those who are asking, sulfamic acid can be bought at a hardware big box store in crystal form. It's normally used to clean rust and grout and mortar haze. A 1lb. tub of sulfamic crystals is less than $8. All you do is follow the instructions and dissolve it in water. Plastic itself is non-reactive to acids; that's why containers for acid products are made of plastic (and it's cheaper than glass and won't shatter). Plastic is engineered to be fairly resistant to many solvents, so you're not going to run into trouble with it being chemically damaged unless you start using things like acetone or paint stripper.
@@joaspereira5258 Or you could do what the video poster actually did, and just buy a new tank. The extra nipple fittings magically turned from brass to plastic. It is a fake video in an attempt to get views. It is ridiculous.
Thanks man! ... Now I have the cleanest 1999 dodge Dakota coolant tank in town. My neighbors keep coming over to check it out and sometimes they take pictures..
I wanted to thank you. After several different levels of attempts, soaps, bleach, and had minimal success with acetone and bolts, I went to a home store and got some of your recommended sulfamic acid crystals ( in the flooring grout section). I mixed it to medium concentration in the tank, then again the next day at high concentration rate for the last little dirty patches inside of the tank. I did agitate it a few times to get the deep carbon builds and rust stains out, but just sitting overnight full did most of the work. Much improved! Greatly appreciate it.
LOL right. Like the engine building channel where they start with a junkyard engine, but after the teardown they realize nothing is salvageable so they replace everything with new and factory reconditioned parts. I think they used the valve cover, everything else was new.
great job , I see the need for this when your restoring something and can't buy a new one . I see the comments from others here that don't get it ! I appreciate your time .
This is a good video missing some VERY crucial details. 1) what is the H3NSO3 Activator? Nowhere on here or the inter web can I find any details on what that is. 2) what is the concentration of the H3NSO3??? I just wasted $14 on some H3NSO3 for a translucent fuel tank cleaning with Zero results after 24 hours. I imagine a lot of other people are going to have the same results without this crucial detail. Is it 3/4 cup per gallon? Stronger or weaker. It would be easy to add what you used to the description. Thanks.
It works guys, I’ve just used the bar keepers friend, let it sit overnight, and put a cloth inside and shook for around 2 mins, and came out looking pretty much like new!!
@karl bolton, so to recap... you put some barkeepers friend in the reservoir, but can you share what ratio of powder / water you added and how full did you fill it? to the top? And when you say you stuck a cloth inside it afterwards, did you empty any of the mixture first after the 24hrs then put in a cloth to shake it? I'd really like to duplicate exactly what you did so I get it right. Thank you!
Great job at contaminating your dishwasher. 👍 Those carcinogens lingering in the dishwasher are going to really add that flavour we all sought after to your foodware!
@@mujeebahmed1375 Sulphamic acid and bleach based cleaners dissolve grease and metal oxide deposits at the same time, without releasing chlorine. I don't think that the video was fake, but the soak time was probably 24 hours plus and used hot water.
Hello. Friend is lying. We did the same, it didn't clean like that in any way. If you pay attention to the video, he bought a new expansion tank. Don't fool people.
I enjoyed watching this and appreciate the work showing us all the steps. In my opinion it would be better to buy a new coolant expansion tank. It being clean and looking like new does not make the plastic new or stronger. This tank is still prone to cracking/leaking due to the heat cycles it has had throughout its lifespan. Buying a new tank will reduce the risk of your car leaving you stranded because it leaked out all its coolant.
On the other hand, buying a replacement for a perfectly serviceable part that will end up in landfill is bad for the environment. It's also not an option for older cars to just buy another when none are available.
@@j.cesarbraga Only around 9% of plastics are recycled. Most go in landfill. And what do you do when replacements are not available? Instead of being part of the throw-away culture, think about preserving and restoring.
The problem with these is not the color of aging it is actually they become cracky and fragile. The plastic loses it's strength due to heat and cold cycles and chemical reactions that occur. Better buy a new one for 10 or 20 bucks.
Couldn’t of said it better myself. Why restore one of these tanks when it’s already compromised and can leave you stranded. This was only satisfying to see how clear he got it
That will work, providing the plastic isn't degraded and brittle from years of heat in the engine compartment. I've seen some tanks that just fall apart.
This is not the same tank...... look carfully all scratches and some plastic production mark are different...and only the cap is the same with his scratches ....you can't bring a used tank 100% new without any scratches... come on guys... open your eyes ... maybe that system works... but I don't believe it can bring like this....... totally brand new LOLLLL
Great video, but a little detail explaining concentration of H₃NSO₃ in the water-acid mixture would definitely bring some clarity and eliminate the guesswork.
Yeah NS, cleans up nice , if I was a mind reader , I could do the same thing , but I'm not a chemist and googling a product with such chemicals and obtaining them , It would have been more helpful to tell me amazon or rock auto sells new replacement for $XX.oo amount online with a link , lmao
@@raymondrace4837 just use hydrochloric acid - it's cheap and works better than many rust removers! good rust removers contain hydrochloric acid and/or phosphoric acid, that's all the magic behind them;) for removing rust and soaking bigger plastic parts just buy the cheap acid and save money!
Excellent Info ! Since the Sulfamic Acid won't react to plastic, would this be an excellent way to clean a gas tank (a removed gas tank off a small vehicle), my 97 Altima has been sitting up so long with some gas in it, when I replaced the fuel pump (because it stopped working) the fuel pump stopped working because of varnish goo in the gas, so I have to remove the tank and clean it, scrub it actually, that is how thick the varnish film is, must be scrubbed. Im thinking, to pouring enough of the acid in the tank to submerge the bottom, let it sit for 24 hrs later, then flip it and let it sit for another 24 hours, then rinse it out with some baking soda and water to change the remaining acid to a base. What do you think? Good Idea or Bad Bad Idea - and if Bad can you explain why? Thanks for you help, very much apprecated!

Can clean one using Red Devil crystal lye with clorox added. Any hydrocarbons, glycerins such as ethylene glycol are rendered with the lye, just as lye and fats/oils are used in soap making, and the clorox is a bleaching agent that actually adds power when mixed into the hydroxide of the crystal lye.
FWIW there are products that have the sulfamic acid in them but I think the color that was removed from this tank was a light coating of rust from using water in the cooling system rather than discoloration of the plastic and that is why it cleaned up so well, compared to those of you who have tried it and had poor results. Not 100 % sure though because I have not triedit myself.
I can't believe you guys think it's a real result. The tank is obviously new at 2:22 you can see the difference. You can tell he added coffee or something to the water to make it look like the dirt was coming off. Please don't waste your time buying chemicals and potentially destroying a good part because it's dirty. If it lasted 15 years another new one will last another 15. Buy a new one online if you are cheap like me 😆
Good and beautiful work, many thanks for this tremendous effort, but I have a puzzling question: Why did you close the small outlets with tape even though the tank was inside the acid, and you left, for example, the sensitive electrical outlet without a cover? The evidence is that all the outlets are black and did not get rid of the dirt because you sealed them tightly with tape.
SiMa Mo. You are kidding right? I am not telling anyone to replace a part just because it is dirty. I’m simply telling you as a BMW Master technician that plastic cooling system components have a very short life due to extreme heat cycling. If you were so worried that the earth is going down hill why didn’t you mention something about the he chemicals that were being used to restore this plastic to its condition? And the fact that the appearance doesn’t hinder its ability to work properly? Hypocrite!
For replacement parts perhaps not worth it but I restore 50 year old cars and the overflow container has always been a tough one. Even NOS ones (if available) can be discoloured so I’m going to give this a try. While toxic in high concentration, Sulfamic Acid breaks down to benign compounds in the environment so it’s much less harmful than you would think, unlike the junk being flushed out.
@ the big picture. If your goal is form over function by all means soak 50 year old plastic parts in a mixture of acid/water. If quality parts cannot be found I think the next action should be making a quality component out of a different material. Nothing will irritate a customer worse than a split plastic cooling system component.
Why haven't you responded to anyone's questions as to the mixture you used. So that others can get the same result. Thanks. And to the naysayers.....There are alot of vintage vehicles that you can not go out and buy a cheap chinese replacement ! Thumbs Up !
FWIW you can buy in powdered form at box stores and the instructions for mixture will be on back. Might be brand specific. Home depot has it in 1 lb drums so you can probably read the label and figure out what you would need to make a gallon or 2. Here is a link to the product there but you can also find the same stuff on amazon. . The product is billed as a tile grout cleaner so I can understand why it would be useful to take off the scale deposit inside the bottle. I have a coolant tank of a motorcycle I will probably try it out over the weekend as well. Hope this helps you get the answer you needed. I know sometimes people post a video and never reply. it gets annoying. www.homedepot.com/p/Custom-Building-Products-Aqua-Mix-1-lb-Sulfamic-Acid-Crystals-050231/300176044
i washed the inside of mine with a mixture of degreaser and (dry) rice, shake for 2 minutes... then put in a nucket of very strong bleach for 48 hours. looks crazy new. 😁😁
There is ZERO explanation as to how to do this. The description may say “Sonex Ultra Cleaner” but that’s of ZERO help when no such product is available. I found no product by Sonex sold in a quantity used in this video.
My buddy works at an auto parts place, he said it’s like $2.00-$8.00 for a replacement plastic coolant tank. They even have ones made of stainless steel with a port on the side to see the level clearly from China. This one is a bit expensive, almost $25. It takes about thirty minutes to put the new tank replacement in the car. It seemed to take hours cleaning with soap and water and then an acid most likely.

Please don't waste your time buying chemicals and potentially destroying a good part because it's dirty. If it lasted 15 years another new one will last another 15. Buy a new one online if you are cheap like me 😆
So thats how my plates feel when I wash them.
Waterboarding..
Bleach
Lol I always wanted to see what goes on in the a dishwasher
The dishwasher part was a great touch 👍👍
Good and beautiful work, many thanks for this tremendous effort, but I have a puzzling question: Why did you close the small outlets with tape even though the tank was inside the acid, and you left, for example, the sensitive electrical outlet without a cover? The evidence is that all the outlets are black and did not get rid of the dirt because you sealed them tightly with tape.
It’s plastic my friend. If it’s that old it is in need of replacement. Pretty awesome transformation though 👍🏻
You are the reason why earth is going down hill.
Some parts there aren’t any replacements or they are not correct.
SiMa Mo. You are kidding right? I am not telling anyone to replace a part just because it is dirty. I’m simply telling you as a BMW Master technician that plastic cooling system components have a very short life due to extreme heat cycling. If you were so worried that the earth is going down hill why didn’t you mention something about the he chemicals that were being used to restore this plastic to its condition? And the fact that the appearance doesn’t hinder its ability to work properly? Hypocrite!
For replacement parts perhaps not worth it but I restore 50 year old cars and the overflow container has always been a tough one. Even NOS ones (if available) can be discoloured so I’m going to give this a try.
While toxic in high concentration, Sulfamic Acid breaks down to benign compounds in the environment so it’s much less harmful than you would think, unlike the junk being flushed out.
@ the big picture.
If your goal is form over function by all means soak 50 year old plastic parts in a mixture of acid/water. If quality parts cannot be found I think the next action should be making a quality component out of a different material. Nothing will irritate a customer worse than a split plastic cooling system component.
what chemical did you use & for how long was the plastic container dipped. Thanks for the sharing the good idea
Bet you had the cleanest GoPro around when you were finished the video :D
Super informative though, thanks for sharing!
my wife would kill me if see me using HER dish washer for cleaning auto parts.
😂
Hahahahaha
Do that when she going in shopping.
Putting the lid into acid would most definitely deform and knacker the rubber o ring seal. (Unless removed before hand)
Just saying like
No it doesn't. Brake fluid and solvents do that. I've soaked a lot of things in acid. Never had a rubber issue.
Thanks for the video! Presumably you also have to clean the whole cooling piping and radiator too, otherwise you are back to square one, aren't you?
Mmmmm not really, if the system has been flushed and this stained resoviour remains, then the plastic is stained.
Why haven't you responded to anyone's questions as to the mixture you used. So that others can get the same result. Thanks. And to the naysayers.....There are alot of vintage vehicles that you can not go out and buy a cheap chinese replacement ! Thumbs Up !
Video is fake.
You can tell from a mile that the "restored" tank is actually a brand new one.
@@dan_6915 You're a blithering idiot if you think it's fake.
Vander's Garage and you have shit for brains if you think its real. Its obvious its a new tank.
@@samuelflores8993 Don't be an ASSHOLE, ASSHOLE !
FWIW you can buy in powdered form at box stores and the instructions for mixture will be on back. Might be brand specific. Home depot has it in 1 lb drums so you can probably read the label and figure out what you would need to make a gallon or 2. Here is a link to the product there but you can also find the same stuff on amazon. . The product is billed as a tile grout cleaner so I can understand why it would be useful to take off the scale deposit inside the bottle. I have a coolant tank of a motorcycle I will probably try it out over the weekend as well. Hope this helps you get the answer you needed. I know sometimes people post a video and never reply. it gets annoying. www.homedepot.com/p/Custom-Building-Products-Aqua-Mix-1-lb-Sulfamic-Acid-Crystals-050231/300176044
Impressive result and something I will use restoring cars.
Thanks !
You can make killer money restoring plastics ,but it's also a solid move by telling people what you did to get it clear
Now that you've made a clean spot, you now would have to clean the rest of the vehicle with the same process.
If Mamma ever finds out you cleaned car parts in her dishwasher😸
🤣👍

i always clean car parts in DW
Hello sir i want new renault duster rxl dci coolent tank how can i purchase
Please sir help me
i washed the inside of mine with a mixture of degreaser and (dry) rice, shake for 2 minutes... then put in a nucket of very strong bleach for 48 hours. looks crazy new. 😁😁
Different tank..got your views though!
It magically took the tape off the holes too 😂
Why do we fall for these fake videos?
@@johntunstall9698 Eh? did you not watch the video?
To finish the job he started: Sulfamic acid, also known as amidosulfonic acid, amidosulfuric acid, aminosulfonic acid, and sulfamidic acid
Is this acid common / easily purchased in stores?
I am genuinly impressed
Great video. How did you get the camera crew into the dishwasher ?
😂
First video I’ve taken the time to comment and like in a long time. 👌🏽
Haha you must have a very chill wife. If I washed acid soaked car parts in our dishwasher my misses would kill me.
There is ZERO explanation as to how to do this. The description may say “Sonex Ultra Cleaner” but that’s of ZERO help when no such product is available. I found no product by Sonex sold in a quantity used in this video.
Probably straight white distilled Vinegar, I have used vinegar to clean small gummed up fuel tanks. that's my guess.
Home Depot - Sulphamic Acid Crystals
SonAx, not SonEx
When I use that acid it's to dispose of rival drug gang members. Didn't know it could do cleaning too!
Popo on your way.
What kind of. Acid is ? I meam its name would you give that information please?
Yes, but it’s hard on bathtubs.
@@stanleyardon695
In this coolant bottle video? Sulphamic Acid
For Rival Drug Dealers? Hydrochloric Acid...
🤣😆👍🏼
Yah right on make some red jelly out of them
My buddy works at an auto parts place, he said it’s like $2.00-$8.00 for a replacement plastic coolant tank. They even have ones made of stainless steel with a port on the side to see the level clearly from China. This one is a bit expensive, almost $25.
It takes about thirty minutes to put the new tank replacement in the car.
It seemed to take hours cleaning with soap and water and then an acid most likely.
My wife would hit me over the head with a frying pan if she saw this in her DW.
Try powder coating in the oven!
I thought the wife was the dishwasher..

This is a good video missing some VERY crucial details. 1) what is the H3NSO3 Activator? Nowhere on here or the inter web can I find any details on what that is. 2) what is the concentration of the H3NSO3??? I just wasted $14 on some H3NSO3 for a translucent fuel tank cleaning with Zero results after 24 hours. I imagine a lot of other people are going to have the same results without this crucial detail. Is it 3/4 cup per gallon? Stronger or weaker. It would be easy to add what you used to the description. Thanks.
Good job ! But I guess we’ll have to work it out for ourselves what agents or chemicals you used
It gives step-by-step details in the top left of the video the entire time.
I’m must be hungry. From the thumbnail I thought it was a fried egg. 🍳
Me too
Same here
😂😂😂😂👍
Nice. Now it's time to clean the rest of the engine bay. 😁👍
I bet your camera is super clean now😂
Yoooo Nobody was saying shit
That was so awesome. Also I finally understand why I could never clean one of these tanks. Usually just replaced.
Been cheaper to buy a new expansion tank
even cheaper without one.
an new expansion tank for my car is $120. The acid is $8 on Amazon
@@DavidMartin916 Rock salt is only £1.
The result is awesome!! Been trying ways to do that. I thought you've bought a new tank in this video~🤣
Wow i would have thought that yellow color was permanent
It is
@@dan_6915 wrong
I used barkeeper's friend mixed with hot water. Just let it sit and it will do the job.
I say neat. love that product. thanks
That's amazing! Just out of curiosity, why did you not put the lid in the acid as well?
My man put a camera in the dish washer ......
My guy
Yeah busted
A new one is only $15 for my truck. What's the cost with the acid and time spent here?
Not every car has parts available
I agree, the time and solutions used here would cost far more than just buying a new one.
