Boy that's a first. An acid pump for planned preventative maintenance! I remove all my coolers and put in a 5 gallon bucket with a 50/50 mix of muratic acid for 15 minutes then fresh water rinse. For the aftercooler that and scrub the outer with a nylon brush and mineral spirits and fresh water rinse. Just be careful with using acid for a deck cleaner. Don't laugh a lot of guys do and boy it plays havoc with metal fuel tanks under the deck. That's another reason why I like acid mix off the boat in a bucket. Just be careful with it and it truly is your friend. Dave K
