Methanol corrodes aluminium. It was a joke.

But i was being serious. So do it.

Could always mix vinegar and hydrogen peroxide, should give you a pretty strong disinfectant that also corrodes (peracetic acid) :lol:

Apparently the dishwasher cleans up a head a treat, and as long as it doesn't foul anything whilst it's in there then the dishwasher will be fine.

I used Gunk engine cleaner to clean my inlet manifold. I only left it over one night, but it did well as mine was pretty sooty as well.
