Thoughts on preventing newly de-rusted tank from corrosion.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Yes I was thinking 2-stroke oil myself.

Will try the Evaporust stuff ... My Bomber tank is brimmed with Bilt-Hamber DeoX-C at the moment . Anyone got experience with that vs Evaporust ? We use Deox-C at work so I cadged some of that.

Lot of theories online is that DeOx-C is basically citric acid crystals and wetting agent ... the  fact that it is fit for human consumption kind of goes along with that.

florence:
this is very good, I thought rusty tanks were beyond salvation.  I think I will try that stuff in my flail mower tank.

I recently used Evaporust on my K1 tank (very rusty) and wasn't impressed, left it in for two days, still rusty inside, then used the electrolysis method, that made a big difference.

Anyone tried this POR15 stuff  ..  I got 5l of it at an autojuble for a tenner.. seller said it was good but not tried it in anger yet.

I remember Tom400f treating his tank with POR15... (the thread here), and seem to remember him being very pleased with the results.

On another note, IF you were to store your tank with say, a 50:1 2 stroke mix, would there be any real issues just then riding it? Would you have to richen the mixture a wee bit to compensate the ‘displaced’ petrol? Bottom line, I ride the SS50 only occasionally, and would like to protect the tank better, whilst not turning things into a faff every time I use it. (eg emptying the tank / sloshing with diesel etc)
