Coolant bottle cleaning

[willy3ams]

Found a pretty neat way to clean coolant bottles.

1. One cup of rice (jasmine, but basmati will work. lol)
2. Gunk engine degreaser neat
3. Top on, holes block with rubber bungs and shake.

nice one that will save me a few quid on buying a new one

Yeah i know the feeling. I was getting fed up of always buying coolant bottles each time. I then remember Northy using rice in the past but with soapy water I still could not get the bottle clean. I tried several chemicals and found gunk the best.
So i thought i'd share this with you all. enjoy!

I'm surprised Bleach didn't do a better job. Mind you the bottle plastic had really yellowed and most of those stains are ingrained in the plastic.

Apologies, I said you used soapy water. lol I was half right

that was a old bottle - original and done 160,000miles I'd say
