TRUCK FLUSH ADAPTER
The new Gates 4.5-in. cone accessory (Part # 91002-9) fits the PowerClean Flush
Tools whip hose for larger-ID truck coolant hoses. This allows for proper
cleaning of the radiator, heater core and engine block.
Improper maintenance can lead to coolant contamination and premature failure of
water pump seals, which can void manufacturer warranty. Gates says its flush
tool can help eliminate these problems using pulsating technology to ensure a
completely clean cooling system.
The PowerClean tool (Part # 91002) uses water and compressed air to remove
accumulated sludge and scale deposits without the use of harsh chemicals or
solvents. The patented process allows pressurized air to scrub deep into corners
and crevices, says Gates, and it automatically regulates the pressure to a safe
level if a hard blockage exists, eliminating the possibility of cooling system
damage. In tests, the tool is said to have flushed cooling systems thoroughly,
while other methods left unacceptable levels of contaminants in the system,
especially in neglected vehicles.

flushing with a garden hose.
