shelbyluvv Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 This is my uber rare HO MJ fuel sender. This is what ethanol fuel will do if you leave it sit for 4 years unused. I'm sure my tank is just as bad! This is the pump holder after only 10 minutes in the juice. I'm impressed so far. I am going to leave the sender in for a bit longer and see how it goes.

johnj92131 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 So where did you find this stuff and how much did it cost for the gallon? I "assume" it is a mild acid like phosphoric acid?

Automan2164 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Big big fan of "The Works" toilet cleaner here... I keep a bottle or two in the garage just for de-rusting parts... Last pics I have are some XJ hitch nut strips I did. Before: Soaking (You can see the rust coming off into the cookie sheet): And the final product before paint (already flash rusting): I love the works because you can get it anywhere, and it's DIRT CHEAP. As a plus, you can still use it to clean the throne when your done, or just keep reusing it like I do for rusty stuff. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to finally try it. You find it at Wal-Mart though. I'm impressed with it. I am going to use it on my tank next. I'll tell you how it goes.

schardein Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 http://www.ebay.com/itm/321616166167?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I've used this stuff. I started out with one small bottle, then bought six, then got 16 gallons. I have used it on cast iron pans, nuts and bolts, drum brake backing plates, all sorts of metal brackets. I've used it on old rusty tools and they come out looking like new. I haven't taken any pictures, but this stuff is amazing. I did some research and this stuff seems to be inexpensive compared to other similar products. Haven't tried other products so can't comment on whether one of them "lasts" longer. I have a bead blast cabinet, a large bench grinder with wire wheels, an angle grinder with a wire cup brush, and this stuff in a big plastic tote/container. Each have there place for rust removal, but it sure is nice to just drop a part in the tub and come back the next day to a rust free part. The link is for a 16 gal but they sell it in smaller quantities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 I guess it is working on the inside of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj92131 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Looks good Bo. Just give it some more time - then coat the inside of the tank. It should be very good for years after that. How about measuring the O.D. of the vent tube inside the tank for me? I suspect it will be about 9/16 inch. Also would like to know how far the vent comes down from the top of the tank. See my p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Gregory 89 MJ Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I got my first gallon on Amazon, I love the way it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 John I'll take the measurements after I get all the chemicals out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
