[DeTomaso] Cooling system schmutz (was Re: Holy Overflow Tank Batman!)

[Asa Jay Laughton]

When I re-did my cooling system, I removed all the old pipes which  
were highly corroded and flushed the radiator.  The internal condition  
of the pipes we deplorable, which is why I wanted to replace them.   
The Radiator had accumulated a lot of schmutz and I managed to get  
most if not all of it out when I flushed it.

Now with the TEFBA Filter, I can try to catch it as it circulates,  
which it kind of cool.
