[DeTomaso] Anyone Familiar with Using Thermocure by Evap-o-Rust?

[Charles McCall]

Good morning Steve!
I can't answer your question about this product in particular, but I can
say that my Tefba in-line filter thing has been effective. It caught a
bunch of crud right after installation but every time I clean it, it would
catch less crud until it had really captured all the loose stuff in the
system. I check it once a year and there are a few particles, but it helped
filter out whatever was circulating. Is this the filter that you mention
you are using? Is your crud reproducing at night (:-) ) or why do you think
the filter isn't working? The easiest of course is just to be more patient
and clean the filter a few more times until you've removed all the debris,
but if you like experimenting then you could try the product you mention.
Just sharing my experience..

   Good morning Steve!
   I can't answer your question about this product in particular, but I
   can say that my Tefba in-line filter thing has been effective. It
   caught a bunch of crud right after installation but every time I clean
   it, it would catch less crud until it had really captured all the loose
   stuff in the system. I check it once a year and there are a few
   particles, but it helped filter out whatever was circulating. Is this
   the filter that you mention you are using? Is your crud reproducing at
   night (:-) ) or why do you think the filter isn't working? The easiest
   of course is just to be more patient and clean the filter a few more
   times until you've removed all the debris, but if you like
