|
|
Hi Guys
I have noticed some floaties in a container of glycol I have. Can anyone help with best way to filter it?? While we are at it perhaps the best way to store it would be good. At the moment I have it stored in a sealed plastic container but I am not sure if any plastic container will do.
Thanks

Hello
Everyone ships glycol in plastic so you should be okay. For filtering, maybe a thin cloth lining a funnel.

Coffee filters. The cone ones can line a funnel of appropriate size.

The Glycol is clear it just has some floating bits in it.

Go to a paint supply or a body shop supply and buy a couple of cone filters. They are designed for this type of thing and they are cheap.

Forgot to ask if the glycol was new or used. If new just filter it.
