Tank derust advice please.

<< < (7/7)

Charlie J:
Did mine a couple of weeks ago using a 10:1 ratio of water and oxcalic acid left to soak for 24 hours, then rinsed with water for 10 minutes, dried with hot air gun, followed by swilling with 2 stroke oil and a splash of petrol.  The process removed some fairly heavy rust and no problem with flash rusting.

Deciphering British humor however provides occasional challenges though...  ;D

I had to give the heavily corroded CX500E tank out the house, they cleaned the goo out with (industrial grade) hot (120°C) high-pressure wash, then some acids, neutralizers, oven drying (60°C), finally a POR-15 treatment as the surfaces and especially the seams were in really bad shape... fortunately no leaks...

Sesman:
Ok, it worked. ;D ;D ;D

Absolutely spotless.

TO DO IS TO KILL THE RUST, LEAVE IT FOR 2 DAYS WITH VINEGAR AND THEN AN OXIDE CONVERTER BASED ON PHOSPHORIC ACID, THEN YOU MUST PAINT IT INSIDE WITH HYDROCARBON RESISTANT RESIN, IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION I CAN GIVE YOU LINKS
