I have to say that I never met you or talked to you about removing rust cheaply. But I have been doing the exact method of cleaning tanks just like you. We must be brothers from different mothers. This is definitely the cheapest and best method of doing a super job. Make more great videos for us all to learn from Sir. Peace

Works like a charm, didn't believe it till I tried it. Filled a completely rusted tank with vinegar, left it over night, next day rinse and neutralize with baking soda, BAM! The rust was heavy scale, all gone shiny clean. Coated the inside of the tank with light oil, 4 years ago. Pulled it out last week, still clean and shiny inside.

100% agree. Vinegar is the perfect rust remover for motorcycle restoration. it's mild. Wont chew through precious rare parts. And if you give it time or add salt, it's very effective.

Oxalic Acid is the go.
One table spoon in hot water for every litre.
Brilliant in engine blocks and only attacks rust (Oxide).
Doesn't hurt any other metals etc.
Flush your block and fill with acid.
Get it up to temperature and let it sit for several hours or overnight.
Flush then add sodium carbonate at one tablespoon per litre.
Run engine and sit overnight.
Flush until clear.
Fill with appropriate coolant. 👍

Quick tip for something I figured out about taping off the tank for the acid. On the first layer of tape take the last two inches and fold it over to make a handle. That way when you need to rip it off you can keep the glove on and grab the handle to pull the whole thing off.

Vinegar works like a charm, I keep a 5 gallon bucket half full of it in my shop with a lid on it so it doesn't evaporate away to nothing. It gets weeker as you use it but it take a lot of rusty parts in and out of the bucket before it gets too weak to keep using. That's one of the advantages of Evaporust, you can just keep using it over and over. I've got some in a tub on my bench that's several years old and filthy, but the small stuff that goes in there still comes out great. Using it once and throwing it away is like buying a new hammer on your way to work everyday

Thanks a lot brother that just saved me 500.00$ was going to buy new tank but no need. Keep your rubber on the road, and the wind to your back.

I love how you make money saving a priority here. Its actually funny to think of the price difference from Evapo Rust and Vinegar 🤣. Thanks for this, awesome video 👍🏽

[deankay]

Best cleaning job you can get inside the tank. Period.
Oh, that 20-30 seconds...That's all the time I spend with the wife after 41 years. So, I got the timing down! Thanks.

I've used a few small nuts tied to fishing line to shake and rattle around the inside of the tank when cleaning it just helps knock out more crap. Keep up the good work 👍

When I worked with extremely highly concentrated acids in a lab - for pre-cleaning sample bottles - I also wore a thick rubber full length apron. If you can get one it can help you avoid the quick strip tease under the hose on the lawn routine.

Mate I cannot thank you enough. I did fill the tank with vinegar and left it there for 24 hours. Nothing happened. Then I realised I forgot it add baking soda to it. As soon as I did it went nuts for awhile and then left it the for another 6 hours. Rinsed everything and the tank was as clean as new. The only problem I have is that I cannot get all the dirt out cause of the shape of the tank.. ANW, you are a life saver ❤❤

[jomtos]

Thank you for the detailed information, I cleaned my 13 GLS tank using this method & now looks brand new😊

[motonoob-id]

I did this with a tank that sat for two years in the weather and got similar results - including the handful of rust in the bottom of the bucket! Cheap and safe 👍

We tried to clean out a 1969 CT90 Trail gas tank using this, it did some removal, however after two attempts, we used Harbor Freight Evapo-Rust and it did a much better job of removing the rust.. However, if I ever do it again, I'll use the YouTube guys method of electrolysis. Simple, cheap and from all appearances, does a excellent job.

[erikfischer]

I used this method on a Vincent tank worked perfectly 😮

[davidbiloen]

Good video. I've done it twice now with tanks that had WAY more rust. In my case I found if I leave the vinegar in for 5 days or so and then dump a bunch of drywall screws (Nice and sharp) in and shake the tank is PERFECTLY clean. The vinegar works slow but steady. I really couldn't believe it. The only "problem" is the flash-rust you get immediately when you try to dry out the tank.

On the last process with the muriatic acid, I put steel ball bearings in with it, then rock the tank around, the ball bearings help to knock the small remaining rust bumps off. Awesome video my friend 🤠🙏

A good no chemical way to remove rust is 1/3 fill the tank with coarse beach sand (not salty), wrap the tank in a blanket and put it in the concrete mixer stuffed with pillows to hold the tank in place. Set it going for a half hour, check to see progress and if necessary give it more time depending on how bad your rust is. I've alsodone a pretty good job cleaning scaly corroded galv u bolts and plates from my boat trailer in the concrete mixer with sand and gravel. Those being much heavier rust, they got 2 and a half hours and came out clean, threads and all.

Great demonstration . I personally use concentrated lemon juice, then I use, vinegar, extreme rust, muractic acid ! The I use diesel fuel to nutralize it ! Works for me ! And my old Harley's . Larry, has common sense, either way, his method works well too !
