How To Keep Radiator Clean
Charles Poole, Ottawa, Ill.: "If you have a stationary engine that you only use in warm weather and is in a dusty area where keeping the radiator clean is a problem, here's an idea. Take an empty steel drum and weld two fittings onto the drum û one at the bottom and the other towards the top. Connect one fitting the the radiator hose off the top of the engine and the other to the water intake at the bottom of the engine. Then fill the barrel with water. The water will boil as the engine heats up and you'll have to add more now and then. But it'll help keep the engine running cool and there's less danger of running out of fluid and overheating."
