John Treese: Because she couldn't go out with him anymore because his car smelled so bad because when he left the shop he would sit in his car and that smell permeated everything in his car.
Tony Gunn: With my buddy John again today and we're going to discuss one of the four major components of what can go wrong with your coolant. John, is that me? Do you smell something?
John Treese: Well, thank God it's not the coolant here.
Tony Gunn: It is not the coolant. However, I have been in machine shops where I immediately have to take a shower. I immediately want to burn my clothes because some of that coolant can get real bad. So let's talk about odor.
John Treese: Talk about odor, yes. Unfortunately, coolant can get ripe.
Tony Gunn: Yes it can.
John Treese: It gets really bad. In fact, I've got a great story of a guy, we were doing some educating about how to maintain their coolant and he gave a story about how bad his coolant had smelled before we did the change. He lost a hot girlfriend according to him because she couldn't go out with him anymore because his car smelled so bad because when he left the shop he would sit in his car and that smell permeated everything in his car. Doesn't have to be that way.
Tony Gunn: Little did he know all he had to do is talk to you and fix his coolant.
John Treese: Yeah, and I don't know if that would have helped his love life but yes, I could have fixed his coolant. So, it doesn't have to smell like that and actually it's one of the easiest things to make sure it doesn't which is maintain the proper concentration in your coolant all the time. If your coolant's supposed to be run between eight and 10 percent, keep it between eight and 10 percent every day. That really does a big job of getting rid of the stink.
Tony Gunn: John, you know we talk about the four major components and we're on odor right now or the stank as we like to call it, but we've talked about rust, we've talked about skin care, we've talked about foam. It really seems like the concentration of the coolant is the leading factor that can really remedy a lot of issues.
John Treese: It is. It’s the first thing that comes out of any coolant person's mouth when you call with a problem. What's your concentration? If it's too high, it can cause issues. If it's too low it can cause issues and if it's too low, it often causes the stank. Your coolant starts to stink. The bacteria has a chance to take off and once it does, it's very difficult to get it back under control without cleaning the machine and starting all over. So maintaining the proper concentration is the easiest way to get rid of the stank.
Tony Gunn: Guys, talk to John, Master Fluid Solutions, get rid of that stank, keep your girlfriends. Stay tuned for more episodes on the four major components of what can go wrong with your coolant and the solutions to each one.
