Evaporust Trial on fuel tap front plate.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
In the first picture is my dismantled Petcock the second is after 5 hours in a plastic takeaway container of Evaporust about 5mm depth of fluid. I've only put the thin plate in to clean at present.
I did lightly brush the surface after 3 hours to try to speed up the cleaning.
Naturally it can't fix the loss of the surface coating but it's pretty impressive.

Lobo:
Impressive! Good plan to (at least) try restoration of the petcock - always sad to unnecessarily consign old stuff to the bin - as I keep telling the daughter 😂.
Trigger:
You have to plate them as, it will go rusty straight away.

I have a zinc plating kit (had it 10 years and only changed solution once - just bought another as the recent finish is getting dull) - I zinc as I strip and refurb so its not a big job and everything is ready for reassembly when required.
I've had good results and zinc on bike I built 10 years ago (ZZR) still looks good
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Zinc plating kit that sound cool - I'll have to research it do you have a sellers link ?
