Hello JB & welcome!
Uhh... I got an e-mail on the 19th of August from you (via Physics Forum) asking if I'd performed the operations described in my posts. 3 hours later I got another email (also via Physics Forum) saying my thread had run its course and was now being closed. Seems like an...
My first heater thought (as a non-scientist) was to use a heating plate like what is commonly used in buffets. I found a round one that gets up to 68º C and is a little larger in diameter that the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. I had thought to place a several ply layer of fabric on the heating...
If I read you correctly, 5 gallon "painter's" buckets made of HDPE are okay for mixing and heating (to 50º C) 0.1 molar solutions of both EDTA & Oxalic acids? Yes?
Thank you!!!!
Since I'm a noob here, I don't want to get under anyone's skin by turning this into a car post. Sorry in advance!
That being said, what you are asking about is something commonly referred to as 'Drive Cycle'. Once a CEL is de-luminated, the drive cycle resets. It's not about a particular...
I do appreciate you're having cared enough to read and respond - truly, and thank you for that! However:
Method A from everything I've seen (& I've watched lots of YT vids (including this one)) is ineffective at best.
Method B is also not very effective (it may remove some grease or soot, but...
Thanx so much for responding, Tom! Means the world!
Makes sense on the backwashing; I get it now. As far as the vinegar goes, sorry, I thought it was the opposite of an acid (a base or alkaline: the other way on the ph scale). But that's why I'm asking chemists BEFORE I jump into this...
Hello all!
I've joined your forum here because I have some (what I believe are probably) basic but precise chemistry questions and I don't know any chemists or chemistry professors (or even chemistry students) whom I can ask. Recently, my car's catalytic converter's been giving me some trouble...
Greetings folks! Total noob (and total chemistry layman) here, so apologies in advance for anything I screw up, and also for my lack of brevity, but this will unfortunately take a bit.
I live in CA & drive an "older" vehicle (technically a 'classic'). CA has strict emissions requirements...
