Could I use the left overs in my milk shake to get an extra dose of Vitamin C?

It's larger than this, Bone. IIRC, it's 17 or 19 mm.

Maybe maybe not.....I reused mine and it hasn't leaked a drop.

I reused mine and it hasn't leaked a drop as well.

But, that might be because it has no coolant.

Is it possibly the same size as the crush washer for the oil pan?

another good source of citric acid is your local home brew store. Any good homebrew supply store carry's the stuff. It's a lot cheaper than MBZ.

Where water softeners are sold

I buy citric acid every month to put in my water softener here in central Florida. Don't know if other parts of the country use it. Call you local water softener dealer and ask if they have it.
