my radiator was leaking out every 4 hours completely so one day i put alittle soda in the mix. There was a very big hole in the radiator and i just had to do something with the no money i had and driving the car all the time. So i mixed the water with my thirst quenching soda and it stopped for about a month now and i was wondering if anybody thinks this is normal or if im just an idiot? just throwing out dumb stuff i have done! It does work for anybody who has a small hole...

 

i've heard of that before,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you should email mythbusters

 

yeah it does

 

That's crazy. What does the coolant look like?
I've heard of repair kits for holes but soda, that's a new one.

 

sir i cant afford the 5 dollar repair kit so i sacrificed half my rootbeer,,, so yeah it works.

 

pepper works as a temporary fix in a pinch too,... i don't remember which ones is best, red or black.

 

this is officialy the most ghetto thing ever. i am remebering this though in case my rad ever starts leaking and leaves me stranded.

 

well today my car was leaking again i dont want to keep adding rootbeer so im going to have to try the pepper idea becuas eive herd that froma few different people now. I hear that the pepper idea is used alot in the circle track racing. thats where i have first herd this. that when theyu have a hole in the radiator they cant just throw a new radiator in everytime so if its a small hoole they patch it up with pepper. Ill give it a try and post what happens to it. Maybe my car will smell good with all these food products just cooking in the block!!!!

 

Watch your engine sneeze and blow up...."I only used a little bit of pepper..."

And for the record, it's black that "works."

 

corse ground black pepper works great.

i did it to my dads spitfire when we were stuck in the middle of nowhere, and it hasnt leaked in over 7 years.

 

In addition to the rootbeer, we did add pepper,peprika, and blue food coloring,and an assortment of other spices, and the car is fast it gained HP for sure!!!Wheelstandin87 is my hero!!!!!!!!!!!

 

thats the receipe for a fast car!!! We would like to know if you can boil eggs on your block with all the extra peprika on the intake and stuff we figured we could make deviled eggs!!!!Has anybody else done this??

 

why the car does sneeze alot of orange flames sir but has yet to blow up completely. Its a fast car!!!!

 

for a second i was like "blue food coloring?" until i ralised he was just being funny... or trying anyway.

 

Dude I swear to *** we did it. I am DEAD SERIOUS!

 

UPDATE!! This is not a joke! We just returned from adding yellow food coloring, red food coloring, baking soda, and vanilla extract to the radiator. We then proceded to add the extract to the exhaust headers for cabin smell pleasure. Once again I swear to you this is no joke. Yeah we can be dumb, but hey there was a hole in the radiator. You think this will damage it?

 

I happen to be the ex-Camaro owner who watched these morons trash their cars with complete disrespect, and this topped it all.


They honest to ***, are NOT lying.

 

Just don't mix the red and green together, they are NOT compatable.

 

You guys are special. You must have a lot of time on your hands.

UPDATE: Pans or for cooking; cars or for driving.
Just in case anyone was getting confused....
