rusty tank!

[NaBz]

You can also clean it by electrosis. very easy to do.

All you need is a wire coat hanger, trickle charger and some Arm&Hammer Super Washing Soda.


Remove the petcock, as the aluminum in the petcock will be destroyed by the process,
Seal the holes with a piece of sheet steel and a piece of rubber inertube. or some other means.
Fill the tank with water and a couple of table spoons of Arm&Hammer Super Washing Soda.

Take a bare wire coat hanger and bend the wire so it wont touch any metal when it is placed
inside the tank. use a spray can top placed on top of the petrol filler hole with a hole in it to
stick the end of the hanger through bend it so it doesent slip through the cap and secure the
cap and hanger with tape so it doesent rattle around inside the tank causing a short when
process starts. As it creates bubbles that could move it.

attacch the negative trickle charger clamp to tank body
and positive to that end of the pretruding hanger.

before switching on the charger, check for ohm resistance with a meter to check its not shorting.
if your charger as selectable ratings you want around 2 amps. check the current flow if you want.

leave it working the tank for a couple of hours, and look at all the shity rusty water and gunk it collects
As it draws more poo the current flow will drop.

Empty out all the shitty mess and repeat process until clean

might have a go at that great idea!!!

I thought you might like that as you sound like you enjoy to tinker

You can clean other parts with this process too - Pretty much any metal,
strips paint and rust right off and is brilliant for freeing anything that is seized or
coroded like a bolt.

You could have an electrosis paddling pool, next to your shot blasting tent!

I forgot to mention...use a cheap charger, because the fancy ones that shut off when a battery reaches
a full charge, will shut off in the process at a certain point stopping the current.

use one that doosent do this
