You have to ask??

The white gunge on there means its cactus, its porosity of the core

Question is, will this give out with a sudden fluid loss or do they go like this for years??

Hi David,

'you 'avin a larf guv?'

The core is soft, therefore it is highly probable the header plates are weak not to mention the tanks. Yes, it could easily end in disaster.

It only had straight water in it too, but it was a genuine question..
