How to remove oil from a radiator and cooling system?

I have a machine with a Perkins diesel engine. The oil cooler which operates in conjunction with the cooling water has ruptured resulting in a quantity of oil contaminating the radiator and right through the cooling system. Has anybody got any ideas as to what i could put through the cooling system to clear all of the oil from itHow to remove oil from a radiator and cooling system?
There's stuff made just for this eventuality. It's called radiator or cooling system flush. Basically it's detergent without a foaming agent. You could flush it out with washing-up liquid but you'd be rinsing it for weeks to get rid of the bubbles.How to remove oil from a radiator and cooling system?
best flush ever is B W-17 made by DAE ...dae. west lodge.. elwick rd.. hartlepool ts26obq tel01429865012 i have used it for years and its 100% efficient i have a range rover with a perkins 6354 in i flush a lot of petrol freelander systems out which have a lot of gasket trouble with oil contamination in coolant full instructions on container
drain what you can,fill with water again and a bit of washing up liquid then run engine till temp up,loosen your rad cap then take your bottom hose of let it drain.you might have to do it a couple of times.
Clear all liquid from the system. Refill with 50/50 Greased Lighting.


Warm system up %26amp; flush with water.


Remember, Greased Lightning has an acid in it. Don't run too long.


I flush radiators with blown head gaskets this way.





Hope this helps.
best bet is to remove 1 rad pipe and the thermostate and blast oiut with a high power jet wash.....but it may take some swilling out,.
Wynne's Radiator flush.......its like ex lax for cooling systems!





It will get rid of most of the sludge, scale etc that's probably built up too.
relpace the cylinder had gasket
