No most muriatic acid no matter its concentration has a chemical reaction with aluminum that gives off H gas.(i have only tried it with Aluminum foil but dont know if it works the same for all Al) Try not to mix the two.

Hydrochloric (Muriatic) Acid can be used for this. It is a mild acid,but still acid, so use care. Using an acid brush brush the acid on the aluminum, depending on the thickness of the aluminum it can that a while, but will remove all aluminum from the cylinders without causing any problems. The fumes can be rough, so ventilation is important. I have used this for years to save engines , so they can be repaired.
