Used Coolant-Filters/Oil-Coolers Needed
Hi guys, I've been running experiments on the sediment wreaking havoc in our cooling systems (I'm putting together a public info type of big post with tons of info for everybody including what I think will be a better oil cooler fix than simple replacement) but I've ran out of sediment. I have access to a lot of fun chemicals and as such have been reacting the sediment with acids/dispersants/flocking agents/detergents/etc.. Each experiment requires about 2 grams of sediment and have ran 8 batches so far but really need another 10+ grams.
Anyway, I need more coolant filters and oil coolers or just the sediment captured so I'm asking our little community to please send me your coolant filters, oil coolers and anything else that might be contaminated with sediment.
I don't want to post my address in public but if you can help please send me an email and I'll send you my address.

Thanks in advance.
Here's a couple of preview pics.
Here is some sediment reacting with a 20% (>95% HCL) in H2O sol. the pic isn't great but you can barely make out bubbles of Hydrogen leaving the solution also notice the steam.
Here is a picture of filtered sediment reacted with a dispersant/detergent mix prior to being added to an acid sol.:

I'll take anything and everything. Bummer on the oil cooler though, they can really hold a lot of gunk!
I'll PM you my mailing address if you don't mind tossing it in the mail.

I just tossed one into the trash on Tuesday morning myself. Sorry, Cody. I'll see if I can scrounge some up though.

Bummer! I'll take whatever you have that might have some sediment trapped in it but filters and oil coolers seem to net several grams each (which is a lot).
Thanks in advance!

With the nitrate additive I really couldn't use it in terms of my experiments. I'm really trying to stay within the confines of our average coolants/sediments and the addition of an additive, without knowing the chemistry behind it could skew the results. Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it!

Unfortunately those of us w/ early 7.3's can't switch to the LL OAT coolants like the later 7.3's and 6.0's use. Fleetcharge is about as close as we'll ever get. At least the 2yr drain/refill goes away replaced by a 65K mile recommended "service" ph check. Navistar issued a bulletin advising early 444E owners to avoid LL OAT coolants due to compatibility issues. A lot of folks mistake SCA "fallout" for sand - its not really sand, its caused by having too high a concentration of SCA's in the coolant.

hmmm......silicates.....i commend u, high binder, on ur research project. being an engineer, though non-practising, i'm sure u thought bout the other mitigating factors in any experiment, e.g. compression ratio, environmental materials, etc.
i was an aerospace engineer. my specialty is combustion engines. however, i find myself doing the opposite route. i run a passport and visa service business now, but boy, would i love to do research......ahhhh....to be young again.....
let me know if u need any assistance. i'll do my best to chime in. best of luck to u!

65K is a much better interval than 2yrs. Thanks for the info too!

I've tried to take into account the usual factors but I'm hoping with the samples I've got coming I'll get a good distribution which should off-set any outliers, statistically speaking.

@ high binder, i know. aint tat strange? lol. oh well. i understand the situation, but i would also commend u on ur chosen future career.
law is tricky business, but most engineers go into it cos when u can handle engineering, u can handle jus bout anything. well almost anything......women n children (hint). i'm sure u'll do jus fine.
well, i was a physics major as well.....especially quantum physics and nuclear physics. favorite topics. i wish u well in ur future endeavors. drop me a line if u tink i can contribute.
