<No Tivoli Fountain test tanks. No Brita Baths.>

Eeekkk!!! Someone who knows what I'm talking about!!! (Not many people do)...(-:

We used to use a thing called a "hot tank" to boil radiators... If you got a really crappy one... like out of someone's old beater, or out of a taxi, you never boiled it for more than 10 minutes... OR ELSE!!!

The OR ELSE was that you'd pull the radiator up out of the boiling liquid and all of the fins (the little folded accordion like stuff between the radiator tubes) would just FALL OUT... big ribbons of it hanging from this rusty old radiator... Oh yeah...and a lot of the rusty radiators were just held together with rust... If you cleaned them up too much before you worked on them, they would spring a million leaks when you pressure tested them after patching them... Used to cause great merriment around the test tank when some old radiator blew out in a dozen places... LOL

...strange what kinds of things strike you as hilarious depending on the situation...;-}>
