Will Vinegar corrode anything in my loop? I need to flush out my blocks and radiator and was curious if there were any possible issues.

I'll be using a 5% acidity solution.

I think I've read on here that people have used a mild vinegar and water solution to clean their loops out. So I don't think it''l hurt anything as long as your don't keep it in there too long or use too much since it is acidic.
 
Make sure you rinse thoroughly afterwards. Acid and transition metals like Copper don't mix well.
 
To be clear, vingar can be used only for flushing the loop and clean the parts. You need to rinse them throughly immediatly after doing a vinegar flush (2x or 3x even to make sure).
 
I flushed my loop with 2.5L of white vinegar and immediately ran 4L of distilled water. The tubing I used was temporary and was removed and thrown away after cleanup..
