i thought it was the same oxidation. just that the process of oxidation takes place much faster. the amount of oxidation is therefore relative.



a good way to clean the evaps from oxidation is to boil them in a pot with salt and vinegar. after that they need rinsing in fresh water and quick drying with a kitchen towl. its probably a good idea to dry them in the oven to get rid of the water inside the evap. they will look as new.

thats very easily asking for big problems- You must do repeated rinses with very pure iso alcohal in a ultrasonic cleaner after you rinse a evap with vinegar. the acid is really bad for the compressor oil. If you don't cap off a evap for a while it "discolors" but doesn't get that, for a lack of proper name, terrible black cr*p that will flake off and possibly clog your metering device
