Does anyone have any ideas on how one might filter coolant on an engine?
I admit I have not done any sort of google search etc. I am just putting
this out here to see if anyone has encountered such a device or has
ideas of how one might create such.
The gist of it is that I would like to filter coolant on a boat engine.
I have an inboard outboard that has been run for years with lake water
pumped through it. - Only fresh water so not an issue of salt water
corrosion but never-the-less somewhat rusty looking inside.
I would like to install a closed system setup so that the engine uses
anti-freeze and is cooled by the fresh water going through the heat
exchanger.
The folks on the boating forum suggest this is not going to work because
the rust particles from the engine will clog up the heat exchanger passages.
They say it should only be installed on a new engine.
So, my thought is that there must be some fairly simple way to filter
the water flowing through so that I can trap and remove the rust particles.
There is some space available on a boat so not like trying to fit
something under the hood on a car.
Ideas?
Randy
