Can I use a used oil cooler for something else?

1slow370

really? **** damn nanny governments mek is the good **** for this job(it is/was used as the main component in parts washer solvent for DECADES but i guess my grandfather dieing at 87 after spending 60 years as a mechanic just isn't long enough of a life span so they bans it, totally unrelated heart failure by the way), next best is lacquer thinner, if that's illegal too then settle for the lacquer film producing gasoline and yes gasoline will leave a lacquer in the cooler it probably wont hurt anything but its not the best(if you spill gas on your clothes they will still reek of gas even after all of it evaporates, that's lacquer), and good luck trying to flush it with anything thicker than gas, tranny fluid and gear oil will get it dirtier than when you started.

oh and acetone that will work awesome unless that's banned too

Edit: Making MEK illegal is so frikken over kill the epa even says it is very unlikely to cause real harm http://www.epa.gov/chemfact/f_mek.txt it also is nolonger an HAP they delisted it in 2005, it was only on the list in the first place because they didn't really know if it was or not.

I used to take baths in MEK back in the '70's and '80's. LOL At work. Before we use any new product. We have to find out if it has MEK and a couple of other chemicals in it. If it does, we can't use it.

Using gasoline ain't going to hurt it. Anything left behind will be absorb by the tranny fluid or gear lube. As it is almost the same chemical make-up.
