- Testing Petrol Gasoline & white spirit in the Ultrasonic cleaner, to degrease seized brake calipers. I also push out the seized brake pistons using a grease gun.

(my hoody is small fitting so I'd order a size up)
Many Thanks :)
Glass containers work much better. They provide much better acoustic coupling. Plastic containers tend to absorb the sound waves, attenuating the cleaning effect.
Yeah I've seen they are supposed to work well in other videos. I don't have any big enough for brake calipers tho! Thanks for the info 🙂👍
what a treat at 19:14. your reaction to your impromptu pull test was genuine surprise and a true insight moment--"get some decent bags." very authentic and made it worth the entire video!
Thanks! :) For a moment I actually thought they were supposed to do that as it ripped so easily and cleanly! If you like that your going to love seeing me burn my hand in the chain steering wheel build vid in a week or 2! LOL
I used some waterbased degreaser to degrease my gearbox which was covered in CV grease from a split boot. It works well. I used it neat and hosed down whilst I was scrubbing. It was only about £9 for 5L from screwfix, ‘no nonsense heavy duty degreaser’. My favourite is brake cleaner in a pumper spray bottle. Cuts through everything.
I'd spotted that but never got round to trying it. Thanks for the tip I'll give it a try 🙂👍
Yup. That’s really great stuff. Cleaned a gear box too! And much more
Nice test I was told by old mechanic gas to clean diesel diesel to clean gas...and both do remove grease...don't known much about the machine but this system always clean my carbs and other
Never though to use diesel for petrol, but was advised to fill a water logged engine and gearbox with it after an over zealous fireman put my engine out lol 🙂👍
Thanks for doing the test! I just have small carbs for garden equipment. A new carb seems to have a blockage cos the engine is surging. Took it off once to spray but no improvement so am going to bath it in zip bag with petrol. Obviously just a small quantity of petrol. Can't find a glass container big enough to hold the carb yet small enough to go in the bath.
Thanks again.
Make sure you get better bags than me! Lol... And take care. 🙂👍
Great tip on using bags, never thought of that.
Ideal for small bits like carb jets.
I've been using Carbusonic ep24r which has worked fine for me.
Is that a specific carb cleaner? Have some carbs to do soon. Was going to look for some carb cleaner from gunk
@@PeoplesCar Yep, has worked well for me so far.
@@djambrosia Brill Tx :)
throw the bags away and use plastic tubs/bottles. i use lunch/takeaway boxes works a treat
Yes I agree. Am experiment that didnt fo as I was hoping. Going to stick with detergent and carb cleaning juice too. Thanks for the feedback 🙂👍
Use the car to push out the pistons. Then clean once in the ultraclean
I did it like this when we're seized 😊👍

White spirit/denatured alcohol will dissolve carburettor varnish. Petrol will not. I have some preposterously varnished cbr900rr carbs and will ultrasonic them in white spirit. I intend filming it...
Really that's interestibg ill have to give that a try. Petrol is too dangerous IMHO anyways lol. I heard about a combo of tranny oil and something else I forget, supposed to strip any carbon etc easily. I'll have to find out and give that a try. Thanks for the tip 😊👍
Thank You!
My pleasure 😊
I use glass jars works great or plastic containers
Great video
I didn't like the idea of a glass jar full of petrol but others have said it does work. I'm not sure a plastic bag for of the stuff was any safer tho! Ha ha 😅👍
concentrated detergent de greaser mixed with water works best any auto parts or harbor freight
Yeah I think your right. I've been using detergent and dishwasher tablets and both seem to work well. Only thing left to try is something like Gunk. Buy I can't justify the cost till I have something serious to clean. For carbs I now have proooer carb cleaning juice. Was mucho dollar tho! Thanks 😁👍
I wonder if a follow up ultrasonic treatment using vinegar would've helped out with the rust.
Hi and tx for the input. I opted not to use any acids on the calipers as didn't want to damage the machined surface in the piston bores. However I have tried Citric acid and also with the ultrasonic cleaner in these 2 vids.

To be honest. I found acid works well just with a bit of patience and a cleaner is unnecessary if it's just rust removal looking for. :)
@@PeoplesCar I hadn't considered that. As a mechanical engineer I would like to think that I would catch stuff like that.
@@kslats916 ......now I'm thinking about it I assume it's the rubber seal that actually does the sealing rather then the bore/piston? But I don't actually know. Lol
@@PeoplesCar I'm not familiar with that design but I would bet the outer rubber seal is just for superficial water and dust. The seal between the bore and piston is for sure water tight...provided it's working properly.
I bet you could install the seal between the bore and piston and barely insert the piston into the housing enough to protect the critical surfaces while cleaning with vinegar. Of coarse the bleeder would need to be installed to keep water out of that side.
Liked the test. You probably need a better mic. It was hard to hear you.
Yeah deffo. Need to save for a better camera so can plug one in. :)
Why put the calipers in a bag?
So I didn't have to fill the bath with fuel. 😊👍
Is it not the vibration of the ultra sound wearing it's way through the plastic?
Nah I just think the bags were duff. When that bag pulled apart in my hands I actually thought for a few seconds there might be a tear perforation line as it went so easy, but then new bags did the same too. There are quite a few people suggesting glass and tupperwear works fine, tho I haven't tested that yet.
@@PeoplesCar Thanks for your reply, I saw this video, th-cam.com/video/QRuRhVC0E2c/w-d-xo.html the Guy uses plastic bags, but he's not running it for an hour! I think the problem is the time, so for something like calipers, a plastic box, but for things that are not as dirty as your calipers, plastic bags are still worth considering! I don't know whether you've seen the Al foil test for ultrasound? It perforates with ultrasound, I thought it put an interesting view on things!! Cheers!
An inch of wire? That's a lot!
What do you mean inch of wire? sorry am I being dumb LOL :) PS: Sorry for the delay responding. A bunch of comments didn't show on my phone, wasnt till I logged into the PC I could see it! Weird!
Double bag
Just needed better bags and less spike parts I think. Not sure supermarkets sell Ethanol resistant bags tho lol 😆👍
