Steve,
I had an idea to use an old parts washer with a filter added to the pump and an aquarium heater rod installed. That way I'd have warm filtered fluid circulating around the part. I'm hoping that the metal basin wouldn't cause the fluid to go dead because I'll have the filter going and the metal won't have any oxide on it. What do you think of the idea?
Verne

I was going to use one of these because I have plenty of spare elements.

I would refrain from having metal in the system. I had dipped a lower portion of a steering column housing in for too long and the potmetal (or aluminum?) section started showing deep pits. That was why I settled on a cheap plastic pool cover sump that I got from home depot.

Any idea what those filter housings are made of?

They're aluminum Steve. I could always use those cheap plastic fuel filters. Now I'm more worried. I think the body of the circulating pump might be aluminum (or pot metal)

Anyone ever soak a engine block in Evaporust? I have an early 67 Z/28 block cast in 1966, with some very interesting factory markings that I would like to preserve. m
