Great! I was going to do that -- you beat me to it.
Nine half-cups gives 1080 g, which is quite close to the 1100 grams my 11
liter cooling system would take.
Now everyone else knows a half-cup of citric acid is 120 grams and can
scoop out accordingly.

You want a 10% solution (100 grams acid to 1000 grams (1 liter)
water)-- read the label, find out what you have, and dilute to a
resulting 10%. I've never run across liquid citric acid, except as a
component in commercial cleaning solutions. I buy the solid citric
acid in 10 lb. buckets from http:
what about liquid citric acid??

Decalcification calls for 100grams per liter -
100 grams is 3.5 oz. (dry). A liter is approx. a quart. So, for 2
gallons of citric acid solution, I'd dissolve 2 pounds of citric acid
in 2 gallons. It should be close enough.

Well - it's not the first time that conventional wisdom has been shown
to be wrong ---
Thanks for the information!
FWIW - I just looked up the coolant system cleaning instructions for
117, 617, and 603 engines - all in the 20-015 section of the CD.
Only the 603 calls for the special tool to repla

Oops. Make that 120 g/one-half cup (240 g/cup).

Seems to be the project of the day ...
Anyway, I've set about to use the 5 pounds of citric acid I purchase
awhile back and have been de-oiling and descaling the cooling system of
our 617.912 W123.
Yesterday, I drained the antifreeze, put in an ond thermostat that
didn't close entirely and filled
