rmorse Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Easiest way to clean up silicone turbo hoses? Swapping a bunch of silicone hoses from my black wagon on to my yellow wagon, and want to make them squeeky clean. They have old oil on them, especially the Snabb pipe. Thanks!

Modus Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Denatured alcohol (SLX) works too. Oil = organic, use an organic solvent to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I use Aerospace 303. It's my go-to for rubber, plastic, etc. I even condition the outside of rubber hoses with it to extend their lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Toxic chemicals work well. I use prodigious amounts of carb cleaner Then add a large catch can & VTA for no more oil in the intake or IC piping. Will be stinky though.

Serge Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 While we're on the topic of cleaning oil off of silicone hoses. I did some research into why some of my silicone charge hoses appear to "sweat" oil. Supposedly most silicone hoses are not good for oil or fuel. The oil will literally seep through the hose. Clogged PCV will do this to the charge hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
